Indoor toys suggestions?

Would really appreciate any suggestions for some new indoor toys for the Pooch please - we've had a lovely summer playing ball catching flies in the garden but am now looking ahead for activities to keep her busy indoors when the weather's bad. She has a blue multi-layered bone shaped thing for hiding treats in (which came with her from the rescue centre) but it takes her seconds to empty it. We've tried one of those chewy toys with holes for treats, but she either gets them out too quickly or barks frustratedly when she can't. She loves tug-of-war, which is fine, but I'd like to find her something she can be busy with when no-one's available to play with her. Many thanks!

There are wonderful complex puzzles for dogs to master to get the treat. The company of animals has a mind boggling collection for sale.

Mine love their kongs, rope toys and stuffingless plushies. They mainly steal socks and chew each other, though Hmm

Oh Lesser, there's a tiny little voice in the back of my head saying "what she'd really like is another dog to play with" which I'm determined to ignore, maybe I'll try another puzzle toy first Smile

Kong,

A bone. Sounds stupid, but keeps Ddog happy for hours and hours and hours.

You can get reindeer ones at pets at home or real ones from natural instinct if your local butcher isn't into them.
