Pet Zone – IQ Treat Ball
OurPets IQ Treat Ball is my favorite engagement toy. Fill it up with kibble or training treats and let your Pomsky ware off some energy trying to get the treats out of the ball. This is a great energy management toy. I used this one for my puppies, highly recommend it.
Here is Pet Zone’s description: Pet Zone IQ Treat Ball is a fun alternative to slow feed dog bowls that promote a healthy lifestyle for your pet. Add your dog’s favorite treats or kibble in the dog toy ball, only allowing them to eat what is dispensed when they roll the treat dispensing dog toy. It can be filled with treats or kibble and set to the desired difficulty level using the ball’s adjustable interior disc. Our food-dispensing dog toy promotes active feeding, giving your dogs the exercise they need, and then rewarding them for it!
Outward Hound – Ottosson Puzzle Brick Dog Toy
Puzzle toys are great. My dogs used to love the Outward Hound Ottosson Puzzle Brick. Fill it up with some treats and let your Pomsky figure out how to lift each latch. This will keep them busy as they need to flip open each lid to find the treat. They will get pretty good at it though! So I like to rotate this one out with other puzzle toys, and bring it back after a few weeks so they have to figure it out again.

West Paw – Interactive Treat Dispensing Toy
The West Paw Zogoflex Interactive Dog Puzzle doubles as a chew toy. You Pomsky can spend hours chewing the toy to try and get the treats out. Perfect for keeping them mentally stimulated and chewing a toy (instead of your furniture).

Outward Hound – Plush Hide and Seek Activity
The Outward Hound Plush Hide and Seek Toy is up there in terms of all time favorites for my dogs. They LOVE pulling these little squirrels out of the logs. They get super excited every time I fill the log up with squirrels and let them go to town picking each one out of the log. One of my dog is a sucker for plush toys so he loves to take out one squirrel at a time, chew one squirrel for a few minutes, then go back for the other squirrels.
Here is Outward Hound’s description: Hide a Squirrel Interactive Dog Puzzle Toy There are so many ways to play with this plush dog puzzle, you and your pet will be entertained for hours!

Wisedom – Dog Treat Ball
The Wisedom Dog Treat Ball Puzzle Toy is similar to the IQ treat ball above. The main difference here is this one is rubber, so your pup can chew the toy and it doesn’t make as much noise when your Pomsky kicks it around the hardwood floor (the OurPets IQ ball is a little noisy).
Here is Wisedom’s description: Multifunctional ToysCan be used for dog puzzle and outdoor entertainment, is the best choice for dog training.IQ Treat toys – Please Keep PatientThe treat toy also is a puzzle toy, so please keep in patience to teach the dog how to use it,thanksSmall Hole SizeThe hole size : 0.5 inch diameter, small and medium dog food can be easily loaded.

KISSIN – Dog Snuffle Mat
