To give Fido a little play time, hide treats in an egg carton.
It's best to use a treat with a strong smell, like a piece of a hot dog. Show the treat to your dog first, then close the carton, but don't lock it.
Next time, lock the carton and let the dog work on getting the treat out.
To increase difficulty once the dog knows the game, hide the egg carton.
