How to make a Snuffle Basket
You need:
- Laundry basket
- Fabric
- Scissors
- Kibble
Cut the fabric into long ribbons. Then thread them through the basket holes and knot them. Create several layers with different alignments. DONE!
Now you can put in the kibble and send your dog sniffing!
- Cut and prepare
- 1st layer
- 2nd layer
- 3rd layer
- 4th layer
The tool is great for your dog, because sniffing makes the brain release happy hormones, lowers the heart rate and strengthens his self-confidence. And it is very exhausting!
Additionally, the sniffing basket requires a lot of thinking and problem solving to get out the food, so your dog will develop new skills, which is very satisfying.
And furthermore, for us it is very entertaining to watch! 🙂
