Unfortunatly this idea is little more expensive, but there is a dog toy, called "Buster Cube" You put treats inside of it, set it the difficulty level and let your dog push it around. Sometimes a treat comes out, sometimes not. The dogs love to chase it anound until they are sure all the treats are out. The cubes comes in different sizes and ranges from about $10-$20.
Another fun thing we having being doing with our dogs, is teaching them to jump through hula-hoops. The training facilty we use has a "fun and games night" and often they use agility equipment for this. Both Sadie and CIncy seemed most hesitant about the tire jump, so I got the hula hoops to help them get over it and they are doing much better. The downside to this can be it is easier, (esp. starting out) with at least two people.
One last thing I have done is got a training book of tricks. Since Ralp and I taught Sadie most the tricks we could think, it gave us some new ideas of fun things to do.
Good luck with your puupy and have fun!!!
