I thought we'd have a nice quiet game. I had this image in my mind of my loving Labrador and I lying on the floor. Between us would be three plastic tubs with a nice treat under one of them. My attentive dog would watch me mix them up then gently overturn the right one with her nose and eat the treat.
Boy, was I wrong!
The first game never really happened. She realised that there was on treat under the pot but lots more in my pocket. She tried to get her nose ito my pocket and grab a mouthful.
With the treat bag on the table, we tried game two. Holly showed no subtlety. She just knocked them over until she found a treat and ate it.
By game three she'd had enough. She repeated her game two tactics, then grabbed one of the pots and chewed it into an unusable state. She then sat by the table staring up at where I'd left the treat bag.
Game four was cancelled due to lack of pots.

That is EXACTLY what happened when I tried this game with Maxx :rofl:
