What to do if your dog's emotional cup is empty?
We know humans all have an "emotional cup". When ours gets depleted, we can verbalise our desires and address them accordingly. For our pets, the same does not apply, and a little extra help is needed from us.
The dangers of a bored dog....
When we feel bored, we can go for a walk, call a friend, TV binge or start a new fun hobby. The same cannot be said for our furry friends.
How does Tricky Treats bust boredom for dogs?

Swimming in the Shark Tank!
Shark Tank: a business reality TV show that surprisingly, is not about sharks in a tank, but rather successful business entrepreneurs meeting with inventors, discussing their products and offering advice and sometimes funding.
Tricky Treats submitted our idea in late December and kept or "paws" crossed. In January we were short listed to audition in Perth and then we won a place to be filmed on Shark Tank in Sydney a few months later.
Why is Tricky Treats so special?
If we’re being honest with ourselves, Tricky Treats is so special because it is an clever practical answer to a difficult question we all ask:

WHY TRICKY TREATS IS PAWFECT FOR YOU!
Do you work long hours, away from home, with your pets left alone in your home?
Do you sometimes consider ringing your boss and calling in sick when you see your dog laying on your bed, curled up in blankets, watching you get ready for work with big sad eyes? We’ve all experienced that guilt and sadness before.
It’s hard leaving our dogs behind when we go to work. Your dog can’t phone a friend, like we do or curl up with a good book to keep occupied!
That’s how Tricky Treats started....
YOUR NEW PUPPY, TRAINING AND TRICKY TREATS
Did you know that approximately 38% of Australian households own a dog?
Getting a puppy is exciting, but it also comes with great responsibility and commitment. As cute and adorable as they are, puppies can wreak havoc on your home and life. They need plenty of company, exercise, stimulation, interaction and of course, training. They often say that better training leads to fewer headaches and this couldn’t be truer. In many cases, behavioural problems in adult dogs can be traced back to puppyhood so the earlier you start your puppy’s training, the faster and easier it will be for you and your dog.
Managing your Dogs Adrenaline Levels!
“High levels of adrenaline are associated with heightened vigilance, anxiety, and dogs may then be more reactive to small stressors.”
The Importance of Mental Stimulation.
