The Eggcontainer Puzzle

[Anneke]

Made a puzzle for the dogs the other day.
An eggcontainer, some strips from old newspapers and yummie treats.
I put some treats in the container, other I folded in the paperstrips first and then put it in.
Closed the container and let the fun begin!
Ok, the dogs aren´t so lively in the vid, I guess my timing wasn´t so good, giving them this puzzle for the first time, after they had a 1,5 hour walk
Jinx opened the container all by herself and understood straight away there were treats in the paper.
But Cooper was just too tired to think and needed a little help. So it´s mostly him in the vid.

LOVE IT!! I'm always always looking over all empty containers of all types, to see if i can make the dog a "puzzle" out of it, but i never thought of using an egg carton!!
Clever!!

PS---your country's language in the background, (maybe is your BF on the phone..? maybe it is a tv set?) sounds sooooo lovely, i just love the sound of it. No clue what the words mean, but it has a marvelous, very appealing sound to it...

Great puzzle, but my dog would eat the whole carton and the newspaper!!

Maybe you could get some edible paper?
Mine will tear everything up, but they won't eat the paper, fortunately.

 

[dogcrazy]

you are so lucky Anneke that your dogs don't eat paper!!!!

Neat idea Anneke.
You should still be able to use news paper dogcrazy. Black ink is soy based, the colored ink is hit or miss.
I have seen people use empty cupcake tins and tennis balls to make puzzles too.

I never knew black ink was soy based!!!! Soo cool!!!! Dogcrazy, if you supervise Carmel, maybe she won't eat the paper???
