With a toy or suitable object wrapped up, get your dog to unwrap or dig using their forelimbs. This exercise should last a few minutes, but be careful not to overdo it if your dog tends to be very enthusiastic.
- Alternatively, with the use of a soft surface such as mud, or sand, hide your dog’s favourite toy beneath the surface.
- Encourage them to dig to unearth their toy.
- Reward and repeat.
