Smart as anything and stubborn.

My old guys love

Kong with a chew stick inserted in Kong peanut butter

Snuffle mat - Amazon has these. When they are sooooo bored we put their supper (kibble) in the mat. Make them work for it.

We have these small mats and we put a smear of pumpkin on them. Again make her work.

In the Summer my old guys love small bits of fruit/veggies frozen in water. Licky heaven.

Good luck!
