We eat from a plate, however our dogs love to search for their food using their powerful sense of smell. Pickpockets were designed by a pet owner and canine behaviourist with this in mind, and combine exciting foraging with a fabric feeder. Pickpockets can be hung from a crate with ties, or simply be placed on the floor as a foraging mat.
Why does my dog need a Pickpocket?
- ideal for dogs on restricted exercise
- excellent for crate training
- perfect for anxious dogs
- great distraction from unwanted behaviour
- fabulous for puppy development
- suitable for dogs with sensory impairment
- perfect mental stimulation for golden oldies
- recommended by canine professionals
- fully washable and can be tumble dried
“It’s marvellous! Sophie, my Golden Retriever, loves it! Pickpocket is one of the best things she has tried. And the cats like it too!” Sherri Steel, East Yorkshire, UK
Who is the Pickpocket suitable for?
The Pickpocket is suitable for most dogs and puppies for mental stimulation and emotional well-being. It is especially therapeutic for dogs on restricted exercise, for senior dogs or those with sensory impairment, and foraging can help to calm anxious dogs.
How can the Pickpocket be used for training?
- Grooming – encourage your dog to forage while you brush him
- Husbandry – distract your dog while you trim nails and inspect him
- Distraction – use to interrupt unwanted behaviour such as barking
- Crate training – hang in your dog’s crate for foraging fun!
Can my dog be alone with a Pickpocket?
It is not recommended you leave your dog or puppy alone with a Pickpocket. All dogs should be supervised and some very determined dogs may destroy or ingest fabric if left unsupervised. Please seek veterinary advice if you have any concerns.
My dogs love the Pickpocket! They are perfect to keep noses busy, and as a veterinary nurse I can see their value for dogs on crate rest, restricted exercise or recovering from orthopaedic surgery. With a Pickpocket your dog can ‘exercise’ with his nose! Nikki Caddick | Registered Veterinary Nurse
