U could also get a tug of jug. That is teddy absolute favorite toy. He gets so excited when I put his breakfast in it. At frist she will get fustrated but just give it time and shell get it

Franklin is fed in a tug-a-jug and Omega treat ball (he has to roll the ball around the house to get the food out). He LOVES the brain work involved in these toys and if I ever try to feed him in a boring old bowl he literally won't eat! He took to it right away. He is incredibly quick with this kind of stuff though. I think when I got him his first treat dispensing toy I just let him see me put kibble in, let him smell it, then rolled it around a bit so he could see the food come out of it.

I put Noodles breakfast in one of these in order to give him something to do while I'm getting ready for work. I recall us showing him how to knock it over in order for his food to come out. He picked up on it right away and now he is really quick at it. He gets so excited just waiting for me to set it down on the ground.

Oh my, Ginger took a while.  She was terrified to touch it.  She would bark at it until I would go over and kick it with my foot.  My husband hates her barking so I would just do it so she'd stop.  Well, one day I was taking a mental health day from work and she started barking at her Kong Wobbler.  The barking doesn't bother me, so I just let her bark.  It went on for a constant hour and a half.  Then, she finally hit it with her nose and a piece of kibble came out.  From then on, we haven't had any problems.  The only time she barks at it now is when it's empty!  We had it for 4 weeks before that afternoon of barking, but after an hour and a half she go the hang of it.
