The Best Way To Use A LickiMat!

My dogs really enjoy spending time licking these mats. LickiMats are great for stimulating the senses, calming dogs down and making them feel good!

HOWEVER, if your goal is to stimulate their brain to achieve more sleep, use up energy and get the dog less desperate to do everything, lickimats will not stimulate your dog because something that is mentally stimulating is something that will work the dogs brain and tired them out soooooooo, the task must be hard.


For Example, doing maths and watching a movie are both classed as ways of mentally stimulating our brains, but only one is going to achieve a more tired person and it's just how dogs work too!


What I Love To Do

I love to crack an egg open on them and cook the egg in the microwave, or alternatively, I cover them in yoghurt and freeze them! I use these to help regulate my dogs' arousal levels, if we have just had a bit to much of a crazy fun time and sometimes I use them just as a treat, leaving them feeling soothed and satisfied.


If you're finding your needing ways to calm your dog almost daily or keep them occupied, these can be signs of underlying issues like stress, frustration and overall, a life style that isn't providing for the dog.


Remember this, the state the dog is in everyday, is the cause of the problems, that's what fuels the behavioural problems. They're a result of the life they live and training will never solve the issue, training is just for managing the behaviour whilst you help them.


Lucky for you, that' exactly what
