【3COINS】I had my seemingly bored dog try to find treats using a "developmental toy" and the result was

I want my dog to be more excited. So, I gifted them a "developmental toy" from 3COINS. Will my dogs, who are using it for the first time, be able to clear it?

My dog has been bored at home during its free time

with sweltering heat continuing every day. To prevent my dogs from getting heatstroke, I walk them twice, in the early morning and at night. However, there’s inevitably a gap between these two walks, so I often see them looking bored. As a pet owner, I want them to do a bit more physical activity for their health.

Until recently, I used "Kong" to make their snack time enjoyable. However, they've become accustomed to it and finish the treats inside in an instant! As a result of mastering the method to eat the treats inside in no time, I felt the need for more challenging interactive toys.

I gifted my bored dogs a new interactive toy

and what I got was a "learning toy" from 3COINS. It’s puzzle-like and seems to be able to hide a lot of treats. I have high hopes that this will keep them engaged longer than the Kong! Already, my dogs are excitedly saying, “What is this!” around it.

The way to use it is simply to slide the parts and put treats inside. The middle part seems a bit difficult since you have to move each part individually, but will my beloved dogs be able to clear it?

Can my dogs clear the educational toy?

My dogs, who are very curious about seeing the "educational toy" for the first time, are about to leap at it with excitement. Just seeing them have fun is a great joy for me as a pet owner. I quickly gave the stay signal and set the educational toy nearby.

When I signaled "go," they rushed over eagerly. It seems they can smell the treats, as they are sniffing around. However, they seem to be struggling because they don't know how to move it.

So, in front of my beloved dogs, I demonstrated the sliding action...

It seems like they quickly understood how to do it and started moving the parts. How clever they are! I was worried they might break since they were moving them with so much force, but it seems surprisingly sturdy. They played cooperatively, and they cleared it in about five minutes. They focused on it for nearly twice as long as the educational toys we had been using so far.

After letting them play one more time, time's up. When I lifted the educational toy and said, "It's over for today," they unexpectedly resisted. They are trying to show that they want to play one more time. So, at dinnertime, I filled it with food for a re-challenge. Recently, they had been eating a bit too quickly, so this educational toy seems to be a good solution. I'm glad I bought this.

It's hygienic since it can be fully washed! Perfect for keeping your dog entertained!

I was concerned about hygiene since my dog licks it, but this "educational toy" is made of polypropylene, so it can be washed with water to keep it clean. Its lightweight nature also makes it easy to handle.

I've been using it daily since the day I bought it, and while my dog is gradually getting faster, they still take their time playing with it, making it perfect for keeping them entertained! It also engages their mind, so it may provide the educational benefits as the name suggests.
