Interactive dog toys are becoming increasingly popular amongst dog owners as a way to keep dogs busy as well as entertained. Puzzle interactive dog toys help the dog develop problem solving skills. There are different levels of difficulty so that you can cater to your dog’s abilities.

There are two main types: treat dispensing and hide and seek. With the treat dispensing type, the dog has to figure out how to get the toy to dispense the treat. You can also use this as a way to get dogs interested in eating their kibble or as a way to prevent the dog from eating their kibble too quickly. With the hide and seek type, little plush toys with squeakers are hidden inside the main toy. The dog must figure out how to get the squeaker toy out of its hiding spot within the main toy. Motion activated interactive dog toys make sounds to keep the dog engaged. Some also include flashing lights. This type of toy makes dogs think that the toy is alive and trying to play with them.
