What dog toy is better then a KONG ball? How can I keep stimulating her mind?

Stimulating a active 9 month dog is always a joy!
I regularly rotate –
chew toys,
squeek toys,
PVC piping with vegimite stuck inside
KONG ball with various bits in there
allowed the dog to hunt for bones / treats
she has another dog for company
she gets walked every night and let off for runs
balls – various shapes sizes
human company
positioned her closer to the bird avary for viewing entertainment
pigs ears, cow hoof, noses, large bones
What else could keep her active mind busy that can last longer then half an hour?
She is Kelpie x Lab (she is a watch dog not a guard dog)
What do you do for your dog?
A treat ball perhaps?
They have to roll the ball around so a small morsel of food will fall out of the hole.
Seems like you are doing enough lol.
Make sure you dont spoil your dog.
The best stimulating toy is you, the owner. Training the dog, playing with the dog and exercising the dog are the best ways to stimulate his mind and his body. Get involved in some training classes, agility, rally, obedience, etc. with your dog.
Frisbee or tennis ball to catch/fetch. Labs love them.
I have a rubber toy tire my Aussie mix loves and we get these funky balls from Orchelen’s They are made of rubber and kind of remind me of a soccer ball in the sense that the octagon design part of them isn’t there…kind of like a ball with holes in it. Both dogs (an aussie mix and a yellow lab) love them, they are easy to throw and when you are done playing with them they play tuggie with it and it holds up to the abuse. We also have a chuckit, tons of tennis balls and squeak toys, but by far those two toys are our aussie pups favorite toy.
