CHALLENGE SLIDER - DOG PUZZLE GAME
Level 4, the endgame. Multiple mechanisms in sequence for the dog that solved everything else.

The stuffable that combines with its smaller size into a two-part problem. Dishwasher safe, near indestructible.
Toppl collection
Flips, slides and cones between dog and kibble. Tasks are collie currency and dinner becomes one.

Karen Pryor i-Click Dog Training Clickers (3)
A garden course is cheaper than replacing skirting boards, and the collie agrees to the trade. Weaves, jump and tunnel cover the basics.
Dog Agility Training Equipment
The waterproof long line UK trainers actually use, made to length by small makers. Freedom with a literal grip on it.
Biothane Long Line
Give the walk a job, carrying their own water. Collies respect employment.
