One idea
“Your dog isn't tired.
He's bored.”

A walk fills his legs, not his brain. Dogs are built to sniff and search for their food, and most get it in a bowl in under a minute. The kit gives that minute back to him as a job, so he is busy doing dog things while you do yours.

What's inside

Two tools. One routine.

A single puzzle gets boring. A routine keeps working. That's why the kit is three things, not one.

01

The Rolling Treat DispenserLevel 1–3

A puzzle that releases kibble as he nudges it. Twist to widen or narrow the opening: easy on day one, harder once he gets it. Quiet rubber rollers and thick ABS plastic. Twists apart to rinse.

The Snail Snuffle Toy

A soft fleece strip that rolls up into a snail. Tuck kibble into the roll and let him sniff and unroll it. Different job, different part of his brain. Machine-washable.

The 7-Day Enrichment Guide

Your first week, planned: how much to load, when to make it harder, what to do if he ignores it on day one, and a workday template for every week after.

The routine

Five minutes before your first call.

Scoop breakfast into the puzzle. Tuck a few pieces into the snail. Say “go find it.” Sit down.

Three ways to fill it

Same breakfast, three different jobs.

All three are in the guide, with portions. Whatever goes in the puzzle comes out of the bowl.

DAY 1 · LEVEL 1

Plain kibble

A small handful of his regular dry food, widest opening. Show him one piece falling out, then let him figure out the rest.

DAY 4 · LEVEL 2

The jackpot mix

Kibble plus three or four pea-sized high-value bits. Narrow the opening one step. The occasional jackpot keeps him working past the easy pieces.

WEEKENDS

The snuffle scatter

Unroll the snail, scatter kibble along the strip, roll it loosely. Tuck one treat deep in the middle. Ten minutes of nose work before your first coffee.

Five pages. Read it in ten minutes while the kit is on its way. Day one is easy mode. By day seven it's a habit, and “work time” means “puzzle time.”

Our promise
“He spends all day waiting for you. Give him ten minutes that feel like an adventure.”

We made this kit for people who love their dogs and also have to work. That's most of us. You're not a bad owner because you have a 10am call. But a bored dog is a real thing, and “he'll be fine” gets harder to say every day.

We'll tell you plainly what the kit can't do. It won't fix separation anxiety, and nothing is chew-proof. What it does is give a bored dog a job, every morning, in the five minutes before your coffee is ready.

Honest answers

What it does,
and what it doesn't.

Will it actually keep my dog busy?

For most food-motivated small and medium dogs, a loaded dispenser or snuffle roll takes five to twenty minutes to empty, depending on the setting and your dog. It's a routine, not a switch. Most dogs lose interest on day one and come back by day three; the guide covers exactly that.

What if he figures it out too fast?

That's the point of the levels. Level 1 empties in a few minutes on purpose so he wins early. Narrow the opening one step at a time; most dogs are still working at Level 2 after a week. The jackpot mix on Day 4 keeps him going past the easy pieces.

What if he ignores it?

Most dogs do on day one, and most come back by day three. Use higher-value food for the first sessions, make it easier not harder, and do it when he's hungry. Sit on the floor with him for the first two minutes. All of this is in the guide.

My dog destroys everything. Is this for him?

Probably not, and we'd rather say so now. Nothing is chew-proof. If your dog shreds and swallows fabric or plastic, skip this one. If he's a nudger, roller, and sniffer, it's a great fit.

Is it safe?

Non-toxic ABS and nylon with soft rubber rollers; polar fleece for the snuffle toy. Supervise play, put the toys away afterward, and check them before each use. The guide has a full cleaning and safety section.

Will it fix anxiety or barking?

No. Enrichment gives a bored dog something to do. If your dog panics when you leave, hurts himself, or changes behavior suddenly, that's a question for your vet or a certified trainer.

How long does shipping take?

Estimated delivery is 8 to 12 business days to US addresses. Items may arrive in separate packages. The guide is emailed the moment your order goes through.
