Pull the flaps open during play, stuff with food, let the dog sniff, find and tug to release the rewards. Combines high-drive tug play with low-arousal nose work.

Indoor handlers needing rainy-day stimulation. Multi-dog homes where you want the dogs entertained without one dominating the toy.Why a snuffle tugStandard tug toys reward the dog with the toy itself. Snuffle mats reward with food.
