Dog Busy Box

This is a dog entertainment and education toy. It was designed to reward with a rolling ball if they drop it into the top. Without the bottom it acts as a simple puzzle to use their paws or muzzle to get the ball back out.

Came up with the idea after watching my Jack Russel Terrier put her ball in our shoes and then try to get them out.

The top is intended to only sit on the pyramid base, not glued.

You can use this with or without the pyramid. With, the ball will roll about 2-3 feet in some random direction after the pooch drops it in the top hole. Without the bottom the ball will stay trapped and they need to learn how to get it out. My JRT learned pretty quickly to drop the ball in the top after about 3-4 sessions. I sized it for normal dog play balls.

Update 10/21/2022: I added a funnel for the top. It just glues on, nothing special. Helps dogs get the ball into the hole without being super precise.
