Puzzle

At Meyer’s Tails Up Farm in Belvidere, IL, we know that a happy dog isn’t just a tired dog—it’s one who gets to use their brain, too! That’s what makes our dog enrichment activity, the Puzzle, such a hit with our guests. It’s the perfect mix of fun, challenge, and reward.

Here’s how it works: we take a durable rubber toy (Kong®-style) and fill it with a little kibble and a dab of peanut butter—just enough to make things interesting. Then, your dog gets to sniff, lick, and work to get every last bite out. It’s amazing how focused (and proud!) they get when they finally solve it.

This simple dog enrichment activity gives pups a chance to think, problem-solve, and stay entertained in a healthy, positive way. It’s especially great for curious dogs, high-energy pups, or those who need a little quiet time between play sessions. Plus, it’s a wonderful way to make mealtime more meaningful—they’re not just eating; they’re working for it and loving every minute.

We’re big believers in the power of play here at Meyer’s. Adding a Puzzle session to your dog’s stay gives them more than just a treat—it gives them confidence, mental exercise, and a whole lot of tail-wagging satisfaction.

Sometimes the best fun isn’t about running wild—it’s about figuring things out (and getting a peanut butter payoff at the end!).
