We were on chat last night and I have known Tank is smart he learned his basics sit and down with hand signals in a few days and the holly roller he got from his secret santa he loves it and it didn't take him long to play with it and figure out how to squoosh it and how to throw and stretch it etc. he loves it. I want to find him some good toys to keep him busy I really think allot of his acting out is because he is bored, I am working on walking on the leash in the back yard, and I also go out there with him and play fetch for long times but its kinda hard with school, and work, and we have had some crumy weather too. But in the house on my coffee table I have some glass balls on the bottome of the coffee table and I arrange them in a star and he always pushes them together and moves them around. So I think if I find him a toy that mentally stimulates him a little better then he wont be as bored or act out as much. I know I have seen the ones at petsmart that he can roll and the treats fall out but I was wondering if anyone else has any suggestions he is very good at using his nose, and his paws .

I love the balls that let the treats fall out.  Modoc is a toy machine.  He always has a stuffy or toy in his mouth.  I don't know if he shreds them like Modoc does but if he does then go to a thrift store and buy stuffies for $1.00 or less.  Modoc loves ones with squeekies, lol, but he loves his balls too.

Hi
 
It was great speaking to you in chat on Thursday. 
 
Am putting a link to a British site that shows the sort of games I was talking about.  Managers please remove the link if it is not permitted, apart from spending money with them I have no connection with this company  http://www.companyofanimals.co.uk/interactive-dog-games.php
