Commercial puzzle toys represent one practical approach to cognitive enhancement. Yet, homemade mental stimulation activities offer cost-effective alternatives that we can customize specifically for each Great Dane’s cognitive profile and behavioral patterns.

We can construct homemade puzzles using cardboard boxes, toilet paper tubes, and treat-dispensing mechanisms that require problem-solving behaviors. Sensory games incorporating different textures, scents, and auditory stimuli activate multiple neural pathways simultaneously.

Additionally, incorporating adaptive intelligence in these activities can help enhance your Great Dane’s problem-solving skills and overall cognitive development.
