Poor Phoebe!

jdo1217 - Thank you so much for the link

I thought that it was because of my poor English that I could not understand the explanation that cooper's mom wrote.

How difficult can it be ?
But I am more stupid than the police permit - even after the good pic. I still can not see how to get the hole

44 minutes later ---- now I figured it out - I enlarged the pictures so I could set the paper with the explanations.

Poor puppy! I wish you guys a speedy recovery. In the meantime, mindgames! Lots of training of tricks, food should be given in puzzle form. If they can't wear themselves out physically, mentally is the next best thing.

I always like the muffin tin game. Grab six tennis balls, and a muffin tin and put treats in the tin cups, then cover with the balls. (Slippery rubber balls are also good, they're harder to get out). If you're sitting next to her you can replace the balls as she removes them, making her try and remember or smell out the ones she's already gotten.

Small cardboard boxes that you can close up and stack inside each other with treats are great. Flip the inside ones sideways, turn them upside down, stuff one with scraps of fabric she has to pull out before she can get the treat. Endless configurations of fun.

An easy and simple puzzle they have fun with is just rolling a small towel up with treats in it. (early training for a trick where they unroll a yoga mat)

Again good luck, I'm sorry your little girl is going through this.

Hanne, it was not your English that was the problem ~ I couldn't understand either. Glad you were able to figure it out.
