ABOUT THE HAMMER

The Fenrir Hammer is the ultimate training tool for dog trainers and canine leaders alike. If you're looking for a tool that burns energy, reduces destructive behaviour, helps with separation anxiety and combats bloat. You've picked the right one.

Chew toys are a great way to redirect biting behaviour, especially while puppies are teething. However, stuffable chew toys like the Fenrir Hammer can also be used for slow feeding. Simply fill the head of the hammer (as shown in this booklet) and use the hammer as a feeding tool. This helps to slow down eating and reduce the risk of health issues like bloat. Chewing has been proven to help with canine dental health so be sure to help teach your canine companion appropriate chewing behaviours.

The hammer comes in 3 sizes to ensure you get the perfect size for your canine companion. If you have a larger dog and choose the medium or large hammer toy, why not also get a mini as they're perfect for teaching fetch. Try using two different colours of mini hammer and use one for throwing and another for recall.

Crate training can be eased with the use of a stuffed frozen hammer. The mental stimulation helps to tired your canine companion and the soothing effect of the frozen treat, reduces stress and anxiety making the process of crate training a lot smoother.

It's not just the stuffable head that makes this the ultimate training tool though. The ribbed handle is perfect to grip making it great for tug of war.

step two:

picking your filling

The Fenrir Hammer has a large cavity inside the head of the hammer. This is perfect for filling with treats or even a full meal. 

Things to think about...

Nutrition

Make sure to not overfeed your dog, remember to include this as part of your dogs calorie intake for the day.

Texture

Pick interesting textures to make this experience engaging for your canine companion.

Flavour

You know your canine companion better than anyone. What do they love? Why not feature it in your hammer filling.

Stickiness

 Use a sticky substance like peanut butter or pate to seal up the entrance to the hammer. It'll keep all of the treats inside and make a great first lick.

Something Enticing

Stick something enticing in the whole of the filling. It could be a dog biscuit or other fun treat. Make sure it's something they love.

STEP THREE:

filling your hammer

You can mix the different elements of your filling in a bowl or add them a layer at a time. If you're using mainly dry ingredients, try wetting them a little before putting them in.

STEP FOUR:

FREEZing your HAMMER

For best results we suggest freezing overnight. This will make the filling last much longer, tiring your dog and increasing the effectiveness of the hammer.

Note - you may need to build up to freezing the hammer as your dog may need to get used to the sensation.

STEP FIVE:

GIVE TO YOUR DOG

Be consistent with your training. Make sure you instruct your dog to sit and stay before giving them the break command to enjoy their treat.
