Food Placement: Place small treats or dry dog food evenly across the snuffle mat. You can also hide a few treats deeper into the fabric or knot them within the mat to increase the challenge.
Encourage Exploration: Encourage your dog to explore the snuffle mat by using verbal cues, such as "Find it" or "Search."
Snuffle mats are typically handmade and consist of a base material and various layers that create the snuffling experience.
Base Material: Sturdy and washable fabric is used as the base of the snuffle mat. Fleece, polar fleece, and cotton polyester webbing are commonly used due to their softness and durability.
Cutting the Strips: Base material is cut into long strips, typically ranging from 2 to 4 inches in width.
Fluffing the Strips: Once attached these mats are given a 3D shape for holding treats This creates a fluffy image.
Securing the Knots: They are attached, by sewing them in place. Sewing can provide extra durability, especially for enthusiastic snufflers.
