Hello and welcome to this new video from Animal Expert. Today we'll explain how to play a mental and olfactory stimulation game called the Shell Game. A fun way to enrich our best friend's day to day life. To start, we'll look for three identical containers. @ first, we recommend making small holes so that the dog can smell the contents. But in more advanced sessions, this won't be necessary. Since this is Timmy's first time playing the shell game, we've chosen a treat with a strong aroma to make it easier for him to find it. It's also a very high reinforcement, so it will motivate him more. When it comes to playing. We've chosen unsalted frankfurter bits, but later we'll lower the intensity of the treat and we can use regular snacks or even the same kibble that he eats every day. Basically, we're going to put the frankfurter bits in one of the cups and move them around to increase the difficulty. Then we'll use the word search so that Timmy understands that he has to find a hidden treat. Remember that it can be a bit complicated for the dog at first. Keep motivating him and try to avoid directly indicating where the treat is. Ideally, you should wave your hand over it so that he understands that he has to look for it. After a few repetitions, the dog will know perfectly well how the game works. Then it will be time to increase the difficulty by suggesting new games. For example, the discrimination game. For this, we have chosen a container that is different from the others, both in color and shape. We will always hide the treat in the same one so that he learns to identify and discriminate different types of objects. These are some examples that we have used to explain how to stimulate your dog. But you can be creative to enrich his routine with many other variations.
