Have you tried using peanut butter? That might be sticky enough to last for a while. I haven't used peanut butter in the bone, but I've used it other toys. Milkbone marrow treats fit, my dog gets out in about 30 seconds. Have tried Snausages treats as well, but those only last 15 minutes or so. Good Luck!

This is so easy and you can cut and freeze batches at a time for weeks of snacks! I put in pcs. of apple, pear, banana, steamed carrots or sweet potatoes or frozen green beans and other healthy snacks that are easy and cheaper than most of what is out there. Always check to be sure something is not on the "poison food list for dogs" you can check online (these listed are all ok for pups but some fruits are poisonous and you should know what they are!) Also some more of their favorites is Greek yogurt, peanut butter and apple sauce. You can even mix and match. I put spoonfuls on a greased cookie tray and freeze. Cut in half and you have a pc. for each end. If your dog is a poop eater you mix spinach and pineapple and the pup will not eat the poo. Your dog will be so much happier and healthier! It is really so easy but you may need to try a few times before getting the perfect sizes, but that's what knives are for! Hope you and your dog enjoy these ideas. Love your pup today!!!

Peanut butter is my dog's favorite. If you carefully put it all the way in with a knife, it will take a while to get it all out. Gabriel even cuddles it when the last remnant is gone & he brings it to me for more.

I think that a whole treat would be to big for a pup that size. They are soft enough to break in half or even quarters which might be a more appropriate size.

kind of depends on your dog, I've had some that my dog devoured in an hour and others that lasted days. If your dog is a heavy chewer, I'd suggest taking it away after about 20 to 30 min. put it in a sealed bag, give it to him/her at another time. The last one I gave my dog, he swallowed large pieces of it and then hacked them up on the floor the next day! I won't buy them anymore, plus they are crazy expensive, bully sticks are cheaper.

Lots of treats! I have two dogs that use the stairs. One got it right away with treats and the other one it took a few days. Just use treats to coax and the dog will eventually use them. Hold the treat initially and then put one on a stair where they have to actually reach for it by moving up one step. Eventually you will get the dog to move further and further up. Just be patient. :)

I mix it in the can and she eats it. I put 3 in the small can because the can lasts 3 days. It works.

JF my active, playful 7 year old Bichon-poo just went blind suddenly (SARDs) 3 days ago - would be interested to know what else you've found that your dog enjoys. Just found a treat-ball that got her "snorty" trying to get the treats out. It makes noise when it rolls while the treats are in there. PetCo had a stuffed duck that quacks when you squeeze it, and keeps squeaking for a bit of time. Made me smile to see her find it. :)

Give you dog a good bone and he'll be too caught up with the bone or treat he has then to worry about whats on him

Some of the bones we ordered our airdale will chew it down but not eat it. If little bits are coming off you May want to try a real baby teething toy for your puppy. The soft rubber maybe slightly tougher and not as easy to bite through like a dog toy. Just in case I would still keep an eye on your little baby until you notice that he/she can't penetrate the rubber teething chew toy. Just another idea. The softer the rubber toy is the puppy will not get bored. Another great way to use that teething toy is to put it in the freezer for five to 10 minutes. The cold soothes the puppies gums. Just an idea for you.Good luck. Some of the bones we ordered our airdale will chew it down but not eat it. If little bits are coming off you May want to try a real baby teething toy for your puppy.

I have 3 dogs and they all loved it. Your dog could just be afraid of it. Try putting his favorite treat on it and leave it where he can get it by himself. It may take a while but the desire for the food should overcome his fear.

Aww...she did move right in to my cage :( Keep trying to put them on the top and just leave the door open. You might try their favorite treat in the dish inside to tempt them to go in. At night I use her fav treat and tell her to get in and she does it now without the treat. Good Luck :)

You can put any treats. You may have to break them up to insert through hole. If you stuff it tight, your pet will play for a while bouncing the toy to get treats out.

I use the Tender Moments treats the most because they're a little moist and can't be flicked out as easily. They are kitty junk food though (the rest of his diet is very healthy). We also do flash dried meat sometimes too as a healthier alternative. Any food or treats would work, other than really wet food. I use it after play time so he's a little slower.

I have Dalmatians and I usually put about a cup of kibble in the cube and a few bonus soft treats. I used it for a boy with real OCD shadow issues and it kept him busy for 45 minutes to an hour. Of course it also depends on how big (old) they are and how fast they figure out that they have to roll it around to get the good stuff out! I would definitely recommend the Buster cube.

Bring it in the house, leave the top open, and throw some Cheerios or other treats in there a few times over a few days and he should get used to it pretty quickly. Our dog had no problems at all. Hopped right in and figured out right away that he liked being more spoiled than he should be.

Use the wonderful beef jerky treats by this company for training. They are perfect and easy to break into small bits. The liver treats are very brittle, in fact, I only use them after I soak them in water because they can be so sharp. And they are not easy to break into training-sized pieces. Pour the soaking water onto the dog's kibble - he/she will LOVE it.

It depends on the size of the kibble. You want it big enough so that it doesn't just fall out. What I've learned to do is freeze hot dogs. Then cut off slices about 3/8" thick. Then quarter the slices. Four of these quartered pieces in each end of the toy keeps my 80 lb. Weimaraner busy and happy for about 30 mins. You can vary the size of the pieces to increase or decrease the "occupational therapy" for your dog.

I use Purina small bites in ours. Works perfectly! The pet stores also carry treats that fit but I prefer to just use kindle. It's cheaper and it doesn't upset his tummy.
