The only kind of laundry I like!
In fact I love this one! In the Scentventure Spacestars Trilogy we called this one Moon Vision. We made pancake moons and pegged them to a line for our dogs to discover. It was a hoot! Even though we didn’t peg them high, it took some dogs a while to figure out where that delicious pancake smell was coming from!
Often dogs are so used to doing searches at ground level that they don’t look up – when they do they’re in for a treat. Be sure to watch their expressions as the penny drops.
Kit
- Clothes pegs (optional – best avoided if your dog tries to chew or swallow non edible items)
- A ball of string or ribbon
- Or you can tie the string or ribbon to the washing line or indoor drying rack
- Two uprights e.g. back of two chairs, bamboo canes, or a hula hoop
Laundry
- Dog friendly pancakes
- Wafer thin chicken or thinly sliced cheese
- Dehydrated sweet potato
- I even saw a piece of carrot pegged on someone’s line!
- Non-edible scents
Method
- Stick the two uprights into grass or plant pots. Or if using chairs, position the backs so they are facing each other. A hula hoop can be wedged between garden furniture.
- With your string, create a line going from one upright to the other. You can have one line or several. Or tie to the hoop.
- Attach treats to the line either with additional string or clothes pegs.
- Invite your dog to tuck in!
