Here at the Puppy Development Center, we have a menagerie of random objects to help acclimate the puppies to different surfaces and textures, as well as other problem solving and confidence building activities. There's a cool A-frame to climb on, a giant ramp to explore, a giant tire, baby pools, and a fun toddler slide! There's a tunnel, scooter, and all kinds of toys with crazy textures, shapes, and sounds. We also have a fabulous box frame built by some hardworking Lionheart students that houses various objects such as tin cans, cut up hose, those little kitty toys with the jingle ball in them, and PVC pipe. The box helps engage multiple senses, builds confidence, helps with problem solving, and introduces the association of potentially scary textures and sounds as fun, because it's all associated during play!
