How to Teach Your Dog New Tricks Using Puzzle Toys – North America Edition
Why Puzzle Toys Work for Dog Training
Training your dog doesn’t always require strict routines or boring commands. With the right puzzle toys, you can teach your dog new tricks while keeping them mentally stimulated and engaged. These toys reward effort, build focus, and make learning fun for pets across Canada and the U.S..
Start Simple: Reward-Based Learning
Dogs love to work for treats—it’s instinctual. By using Puzzle Feeders and Interactive Toys from our collections, you guide them through cause-and-effect learning. Place a treat inside, show them how it works, and celebrate when they succeed. Over time, your dog associates actions with rewards, just like basic commands.
Use Puzzle Toys for These Basic Tricks
- “Find it” – Hide treats in puzzle toys and let your dog discover them.
- “Wait” – Build patience by holding off the release of the toy.
- “Push” or “Spin” – Some interactive toys move and require paws or noses to activate.
Build Smarter, Healthier Habits
Training becomes easier when your dog is excited to play and learn. Puzzle toys also promote mental stimulation, reduce boredom, and help extend your pet’s healthy years. They’re a win for dogs of all ages—especially smart breeds like Border Collies, Poodles, and German Shepherds.

It can keep my cat's busy for a long time, but it should be under supervised I think. Long time playing with it can make them tired!
Maki playing with her ball. 😀
I'm using this stuff to keep my puppy busy and happy everyday.

Got this toy for my girl Archie and she absolutely loves it! It’s super durable, keeps her entertained for hours, and the treat dispenser is a fun bonus. Totally worth it
