What works for the Tibetan Terrier
- Puzzle feeders + treat-dispensers. The Tibetan Terrier is intelligent enough to bore quickly. Snuffle mats, slow-release treat balls and tiered puzzles burn brain energy that walks alone don't reach.
- Rotate toys. Dogs habituate to toys in a week. Keep 4–6 in circulation, swap weekly — they "feel new" again.
- Always supervise tug + chew. Even "indestructible" toys eventually fail; supervise and replace at the first crack.
