Absolutely! The Busy Blanket is a dog treat puzzle designed for dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds, from Great Danes to Teacup Poodles. The Busy Blanket is a hit with all. It’s a one-size-fits-all marvel that makes every breed buzz with excitement. However, some dogs struggle more than others to crack open the pockets to find their treat treasures. This can cause frustration, giving up, or even tearing at the material. In this case, your dog most likely just needs a little bit more guidance and encouragement from you before you let them loose. Follow the tips in the video below to make sure your dog becomes a sniffing success.
Make sure your dog is in an environment they are familiar with and won't cause distractions when you introduce The Busy Blanket. We want focused sniffing, not squirrel chasing. Let them watch you place a treat in one of the pockets, near the pocket opening. Encourage them to find it and praise them when they do. Gradually increase the challenge, by placing the treat deeper into the pocket. Keep guiding, helping, and praising as they find the treats. You can even puff up the pocket to help make it easier for them to get inside. Once they are able to find the treats consistently, start placing them at the bottom of the pockets. Keep praising and encouraging them. It will soon become their favorite. Then just load up each pocket with a treat and let them loose. In no time, they'll be the Sherlock in their own thrilling sniff-detective story.
Yes! We encourage daily sniffing with The Busy Blanket, as it's highly enriching for your dog. Just be mindul of treat calories – a 100 lb Labrador can sniff out a fully loaded Busy Blanket (1 treat per pocket) 5-6 times per day. A smaller dog may be limited to 1-2 times per day to avoid overfeeding. Which is exactly why we created Tiny Treats for sniff games. They pair perfectly with The Busy Blanket.
The Busy Blanket is made of durable cotton, but it can still be ripped. Minor pulling, and sometimes tearing, is normal as dogs learn to navigate the pockets. If the pulling persists, it may be due to inadequate training and positive reinforcement. Review the video tips below with patience and repetition to help your pup master the blanket without pulling. This process can be a fun bonding experience for you and your dog.
Yes, and how! By engaging their natural sniffing instincts, The Busy Blanket provides a comforting distraction and mental stimulation that can soothe nerves and alleviate anxiety. It’s like meditation for your mutt, a zen session wrapped in playful package.
After the initial introduction period, your dog can use The Busy Blanket wherever they go. Indoors, outdoors, on vacations, or during family gatherings—anywhere can be a stage for The Busy Blanket. It’s portable fun that folds up and goes wherever you and your furry friend fancy.
Here’s a sly trick: double down on the treats. Tuck not one, but two tiny morsels into each pocket, one in each corner. This clever tactic prolongs the discovery time as your pup puzzles out each treat. Just be mindful of not overfeeding. Follow the suggested consumption on any treat bag.
Don’t throw in the towel just yet—it might just be a case of stage fright rather than disinterest. Consider this: maybe your furry friend hasn’t had a proper intro to the art of pocket treat hunting. It’s your cue to step into the role of the encouraging coach. Begin by making the treats blatantly obvious, even partially visible, to spark that initial intrigue. Use enthusiastic praise to guide them as they explore, and gradually make the challenge tougher as their confidence builds. Remember, every great performer needs a little nudge to step into the spotlight—your pup just might need your cheerleading to start their sniff-star career on The Busy Blanket! Follow the tips in the video below to help your dog become a sniffing success.
