Awww thanks. I think so too 😍

Oh yes! The challenge slider is one of our favourites (the level 3 one). She sounds like a smart cookie! If she’s a rather small breed you might wanna check out the Brick one instead of the Tornado - both come with the bones and both are fun! Another one that is pretty easy but keeps them busy for a while (we use as a slow feeder) is the lickin layers one! I filmed a video about it and you can find the blog post I wrote here enrichyourdogslife.com/product-review-lickin-layers-dog-puzzle-game/ Whichever you choose next, I’m sure she’ll love it. And yes, my wadis also don’t get fully get how it works but that’s OK. That’s how they problem solve and if they get to their reward, then it’s obviously working :) once she figures it out you can also combine different puzzle toys. Maybe use less treats (I imagine she’s rather small if mixed with a sheltie) and split it into 2 puzzles, put them both on the floor for her and let her choose which one she likes to work on. Just make sure you practice each one first and help if needed to avoid frustration. Keep me posted and please give your girly an ear rub from me 😍

Awww thanks. He is ☺️😃 ❤️

Thank you!! Our first try! Planning to bake more!! :)

Thank you so much!!

Glad it was helpful! It’s super easy to clean also without a dishwasher. Tbh probably even quicker to just use a sponge and soapy water! Thank you for your lovely feedback! Really appreciate this!

Thanks for sharing! Great ideas! I like to keep it super simple for my senior but Panda will probably really like this challenge! I’m gonna try it out. Have you tried to „block“ it with one of their other toys too?

Hi love, this article might help. It’s about decompressing your new rescue dog enrichyourdogslife.com/how-to-decompress-a-new-rescue-dog-decompressing-a-rescue-dog/ you can find also more helpful resources regarding building trust etc on my blog. ❤️

THANK YOU SO MUCH💖💖

Thank you for saving this little darling! It’s a rule of thumb. Depending on how traumatised the dog is, add some months! Her past and human contact must have been rather horrible, so her approaching you and giving you a lick is big. Also, she’s 5 and not a puppy, so it might take generally a bit longer. Each dog and each journey is unique. And if she’s more comfortable when you lie, then I’d use this as information. Chalkie was very similar. He’s deaf and still scared of strangers. So if he’s unsure, if it’s me approaching or he’s unsure of his surroundings, then I go down a bit and it’s easier for him to trust. Same with playing. He prefers if I play with him sitting (on eye level) rather than standing. This might help your girl too, ie avoid „bending over her“ and think of ways to be „less intimidating“. Not that you are - but in her mind humans generally might be. Thank you for saving this precious girl and whilst your journey surely isn’t the easiest one, the even bigger the reward when you see her truly blossoming. ❤️

Concept training teaches your dog broader “concepts” like calmness, proximity etc. you start by training these outside of situations (ie no trigger present) and set your dog up for success. This way you don’t just teach the dog a single response to a single event but “reshape” how they think and you for example work on a more optimism or confidence, which translates in different situations and how your dog “does” life. Ie you teach your dog options to act differently than they did before. When we teach in a situation (ie with the trigger present), our dogs might not be able to cope or listen and just react. By taking out this pressure and building the skill set first, your dog learns the skills to be equipped to handle real life situations differently than before (you take the concepts out into the real world bit by bit). In a nutshell: you give your dog options (and skills) to make better decisions. Hope this helps.

“Decompression, in the context of dogs, refers to the process of allowing a dog to relax, unwind, and decompress after experiencing stress, anxiety, or arousal.” You can find the full article here enrichyourdogslife.com/a-full-guide-to-decompression-for-dogs/ ❤️

Right? They’re amazing! I volunteer for them since years and they’re such a great bunch of people! And it makes so much sense. Because when you adopt a dog from abroad you only meet them once they’re actually here. And there are no shelters for “back ups” or hundreds of volunteers .. so glad it all worked out as well as it did for us. Panda looooves all the boys and they adore her (as do I 🤭). But having the videos and conversations removed also the worries upfront, if this is the right decision. Thank you for your kind words and taking the time to leave a comment ❤️

That’s great! It’s only a rule of thumb though and every dog is different as well as every dog’s story. If it’s a “simple rehome” where they transfer from one home to another (and maybe even already know the new owner) than this will most likely be very different than a dog who has been abused or never lived in a home .. plus the dogs personality, how easy they trust, the dogs resilience …. One of my boys felt “home” right away too. He snuggled up to me and fell asleep next to my other dogs and took a really deep breath. He’d still struggle with other things - like being scared of the dark, never walked on sand etc. they all unique - just like us 😊 Thank you for your comment and for choosing to adopt 😊

I’m so sorry for your loss! It’s a big change for everyone and your little one will need to adapt to being alone - without their dog friend around. There aren’t specific magic toys. I’d rather stick with what works for your little one and what she enjoys most. Lick mats are great generally as the licking can be soothing. And you can spread Ruby’s favourite foods on it and make it extra tasty.

Thank you for your very kind words! 🙏🏽❤️

You’re very welcome 😃 hope it helped!

Awww she sounds very sweet and very loved 😊 my dogs send a big slobbery kiss to your Aussie girly 😊

I agree! The designs are more pretty and dogs don’t really care about them. Guess they’re great for Instagram but some of them are not too practical like the heart one. My dogs love the bone one though a lot and I like their treat dispenser and tug toys. But am a big fan of the lick mats from Lickimat and love their new products! And yes, agree with the ecoins 🤣🤣 I am currently putting together a review for them 😅 thank you for your input! 😊

Thank you so much! ❤️

Here’s the related blog post about the 3-3-3 rule with pictures if you prefer www.rescuedogmomlife.com/post/the-3-3-3-rule-for-new-rescue-dogs

Awwww what a beautiful story! Mine get along together super well too - sometimes it’s just meant to be! What a lucky girl to have found you two! Thank you for sharing!! This made me smile and warmed my heart! Thank you! ❤️

And wow!! Love the full size mud socks on Panda and Chalkie!

Oh my dog! These doggy charcuterie boards - looooove them! Haha, might be turning into a new obsession haha. Watch this space, Snoopy haha. Chalkie says hi 💖

@@ynna094 🤣🤣🤣 impressive right? Haha. Soooooooooooo much dirt with these little mud pigs. But muddy dogs are happy dogs, right?

@@EnrichYourDogsLife 100%!! Sadly with my dude his happiness end up at the point his precious body is about to be washed 😆

@@ynna094 oh yeah… Chalkie really doesn’t like the shower either. But legs and tummy are a must in muddy days 😅 luckily he doesn’t roll around in stuff. The girly of course loves a little bath pampering session - but gets the crazy “I rub myself dry everywhere” zoomie session occasionally afterwards 😅 Rambo of course loves it - including the blow dry he demands afterwards 😅🤣🤣

Hiya, there are plenty of ways to slow feed your dog that don't involve a bowl. While you could train them to not chew the bowl, you could also explore some of the other ways, like scatter feeding, make your own 'snuffle box' or use a towel, so the brain gets to work, or use a can dog toy or a Kong for 'power chewer' (the black ones, either Kong or Sodapup is my recommendation). I put you also together a blog post on some ways to slow feed without a bowl here www.enrichyourdogslife.com/post/paws-and-pace-exploring-various-ways-to-slow-feed-your-dog hope it helps.

Please tell my dogs this 🤣🤣 they don’t seem to agree that they’re even big enough 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 hope you guys are well!!! ❤️ xx

Hiya 👋 I never use the Qwizl for him as wouldn’t “stick” with it. I keep enrichment toys for him easy and low frustration. He loves Toppls, Kongs with chicken - that I let him bring to me to be refilled. We trained the command “get mummy the kong” - this is his favourite thing. And puzzles but only supervised, to keep frustration low and for me to be ready to help out. My other bully loves the Qwizl though! Keep in mind though, that my senior boy was adopted pretty late in life and never had any enrichment before (barely even went for walks as it seems) and was very nervous around food (I had to hand feed him in the beginning and sit next to him for a whole, so he would eat at all). So, I guess for other senior dogs who have more confidence around these things and like a bit of a challenge, the Qwizl would be great. Hope that helps.

Thank you lovely 🐶

Thank you lovely 🐶 hope you and your lovely girl are well 🐕

Awww I love that you pass on the toys to rescue dogs 😍❤️ Snoopy 😅 I’m surprised he didn’t simply unscrew the cap 🤣🤣🤣

Yeah they loooooooved the beach!! I think it was Chalkies first time at a beach actually. Maybe second. Nothing cuter than a slo-mo of dogs haha ❤

oh keep me posted how he likes it!! I love the no mess bit about it the most hahaha. We looove the Wobble but it's not too challenging, so more an easy snack. Looking forward to summer though when it's a frozen snack. Also love filling it with water and treats then... keeps them busy for a while. Thanks.. tried to organise them in a pretty way but didn't work. Too much chaos, so basket it is for now 😅

That what I thought 😅 he’ll probably be smart enough to chew threw the rope first 😎🤣 also the loop is pretty small, so you’d probably only be able to fit a small rope through it. You could make it more challenging by freezing it after stuffing though?

@@EnrichYourDogsLife he figured out he can put frozen stuff on the sun to thaw and then throw them vigorously on the floor and from the stairs to get the stuff out 🤣

@@ynna094 Snoop you Legend! 😂 I rest my case haha
