Puppingtons Pods - Food Training Toy

Overview

Every dog has that spark when food’s involved, and Puppingtons Pods are built to tap right into it. These clever little toys hide treats inside, so your pup gets to chase, pounce, and “break it open” for the reward. It feels like a hunt, and the joy on their face when they find the treat is priceless. Perfect for training or just adding more fun to playtime, Pods turn every snack into a game worth wagging for.

Product Features

• Food = motivation: Dogs work harder when they know a snack’s waiting. Pods make training sessions something they look forward to.
  

• Soft but sturdy: Neoprene on the outside, canvas inside, light stuffing in between; gentle to grab, tough enough to last.
  

• Interactive fun: Velcro closure means they get the thrill of ripping it open, safely.
  

• Mix it up: Add a Bungee Handle (sold separately) for tossing, dangling, or chase games.
  

• Sized for play: Handles measure 70 cm, giving you room to swing and keep the action going.

Benefits

Training can feel like a grind if you’re only repeating commands. With a Pod in hand, it becomes a game. Your dog gets to stalk, chase, and pounce, then score their favourite treat at the end. That natural hunting vibe keeps their brain sharp and their energy focused on something good. For you, it means smoother training, a happier dog, and far fewer chewed-up slippers.

Usage Instructions

Fill the Pod with bite-sized treats, close it up, and let the fun begin. Toss it, roll it, or attach a handle for chase games. Supervise while they play and cheer them on when they finally pop it open; half the fun is the victory dance that follows.

Important Notes (Don’ts)

• Not a tug toy or chew toy; save it for chase and reward play.
  

• Avoid using chunky treats that could strain the Velcro.
  

• Don’t leave it unsupervised; it’s a training tool, not an all-day chew.
  
  

Compatibility

Great for food-loving pups of all shapes and sizes. Works especially well for dogs that thrive on reward-based training. Pair with a Bungee Handle if you want to take play to the next level.

Care and Maintenance

Open the Pod after play to let it dry out inside. A quick wipe with a damp cloth sorts out most dirt. Skip the washing machine; air drying keeps it in shape for longer.

Warranty and Support

Every Pod is made for safe, rewarding play. If yours doesn’t hold up or you’re not happy with it, Shine Pets will sort it; just get in touch.
