DIY Activity toy/feeder for Dog owners

[Biker]

Saw this on YouTube just now and thought it really clever. I think my old dog would have loved playing with this, sadly he's no longer around, but maybe you have a dog that's bored and needs a bit of something to keep him amused.

Though the rattle and clatter might get on your wick after a while

Here's a link to another variation of the same thing.

Have fun folks.

I really like the idea I'm just wondering if my dog is smart enough for that.

Clever, I like that

I've seen this before, brilliant! Think I might have to make one for my pup to go with his other brain toys!

Now that is a neat idea

I saw this on FB a few weeks ago. It's really cool.

Hey Steve, maybe we can rig one up for John at Dingly Dell?

Glad the idea appeals folks. Now get busy sawing, you know your dogs will love it.

My dog would starve.

My dog would starve.

Dito. He would give up after a few tries. It's not that he's stupid, just not that into food.

Nah, John would just chew the top off.

Love this idea! would definitely have to be an outdoors toy... waaay too noisy for the house! Just need to find myself someone who is handy with a saw (I can't do carpentry to save my life!) or I may jury rig an old end table or something... I'll hafta put my thinking cap on!

That is brilliant! I loved the look on the dog's face when the bottle went over the top, but so fast that centrifugal force stopped the treats from falling out! Very amusing.
It's a shame that my dog doesn't do much playing any more, he just flops out most of the time, otherwise I'd build one.

Thanks for sharing!

I made a really simple one this afternoon and although my dog kills for food he doesn't quite get it yet. But I'll try again tomorrow because I did get him smelling and touching the bottle today and as he's a bit timid with new things I think he might get the hang of it at some point.

Lol....I like that Wouldn't work with my GSD though, he's not that patient....he'd tap it a couple of times to check it out and then just bite through the bottle, eat the treats and settle down to chew his way through the wooden frame....i'd give it about 25 to 35 minutes before you were left with a metal rod surrounded by wood and plastic chippings! Lol
