ANY IDEAS FOR SMART TOYS or games
I am trying to find different games or toys which keep my dog ocupied for some time. I have tried the lid from Illy coffe or yogurt when younger and she eiter push it with her nose to some corner and then turn it up in order to find dry granula treat. Or I spred some granulas all over the place she can not see when on her 4 legs but can smell and reach only when standing. I have tried Kong filling with biscuits or cut slice of cheese. She has found ways to simply empty it within few minutes. her favourite is rope but that includes me either running after my puppy or pulling it .ANY SUGGESTION FOR TOYS OR GAMES WHICH KEEP THEM BUSY FOR MORE THAN 5 MINUTES? she is not much into fetching but loves chewing and training and sniffing.

The Jack from Okra is a great toy.
It's the only one that keeps my guy occupied for more than a few minutes.
It looks like a huge Jack (the game, not my dog, ha!) and you can stuff a bunch of food waaaay down into each arm. It's so much better than stuffing a Kong.
Depending on what you use, the dog can go for about an hour or two working on it. (I found Old Mother Hubbard by Wellness cookies to fit perfectly in there so that they are tight enough and juuust out of reach. two side by side with some canned food sort of vacuum seals it in there.)
This is something that Jack just loves so we save it for special occasions about once a week or so. He virtually plowed through every other activity toy in 10 seconds.
The other thing I like about this toy is that it's easy to clean out after and it's virtually indestructible.
I got it at Petsmart, but I've seen it a lot of other places, too. It comes in a bunch of sizes for different sized dogs/puppies.
Good luck!

I love my "talking treat ball" Mommy says I'm so smart because I can get the treats out in record time...I especially like it because I can hear mommy talking to me while I'm pushing the ball around.
