My dog doesn’t like toys, will they play with The Clam?

If your dog’s still warming up to playtime, The Clam is perfect for you. Tuck your dog’s favorite treats inside, and you’ll see your dog’s interest in play start to take off.

My dog’s a bit nervous, will The Clam be too difficult for them?

The Clam is a fantastic confidence booster. You can slowly increase the difficulty and start with low energy games, such as hide and seek, to build your dog’s confidence. We also recommend using The Clam to create a noise box, which is a game-changer for noise sensitive dogs.

Will the Clam help my dog learn to play with other toys?

Every dog is different but yes, we’ve heard from lots of customers about how the Clam has been a ‘gateway’ toy into playing with other interactive training toys.

Why is the Clam better than other treat-based toys?

The Clam is the original and the best! It’s designed by training experts and manufactured to our extremely high standards using top quality materials. The Clam is a quality, effective training aid for dogs - which is verified by its hundreds of five star reviews.

Is it supposed to be easy for my dog to open the Clam?

Yes! The Clam is cleverly designed so that it stays shut when you throw it, but so that it’s easy for your dog to use their snout to open the ‘shells’ of the Clam and get the treats within.

What should I use to fill the Clam?

Great question! You can use your dog’s favourite treats to fill the Clam. Dried treats are less messy and smelly treats (like dried sprats) can work well for scentwork games using the Clam —but any treats your dog enjoys will work.

I have a large breed dog - is the Clam suitable?

Yes! The Clam has been tried and tested with breeds of all sizes.

I have a small breed dog - is the Clam suitable?

Yes! The Clam has been tried and tested with teeny breeds too, and they love it!

According to enrichment experts, just 20 minutes of sniffing is equivalent to an hour’s walk. Engage your dog’s olfactory system and pair it with the brainwork required to retrieve their food and watch your dog’s satisfaction soar.

How to use The Clam

The Clam is our most popular toy ever.

We’ve seen thousands of times over the transformational effect it has on dogs of all breeds, from all backgrounds.

But before the results start rolling in, there’s a little bit of work to do.

Follow our steps and you’ll be celebrating in no time…

Step 1.

Introduce The Clam

Pull the ‘shells’ of The Clam apart to open it. Pop one or two treats inside. Then, with The Clam still open and in your hands, invite your dog to come and take the treats.

Step 2.

Let them open it

The Clam is cleverly designed so that your dog can easily open it themselves - and get their own instant reward from a distance. No more waiting for you to catch up!

So for the next step, re-fill The Clam then close it and invite your dog to come and get the treat.

While keeping The Clam in your hands, let them spend some time sniffing and working out how to open it. Resist helping them if you can!

Step 3.

Open it on the floor

Re-fill and close The Clam, then place it on the floor near your feet before inviting your dog to open it and get their reward.

It’s important throughout this process that your dog is focussed only on the treats that are inside The Clam - so keep any other treats you have on you well hidden!

Once your dog can confidently do this step without assistance, they are ready to start using The Clam from more of a distance.

Step 4.

Introduce some distance

Load The Clam as in previous steps but then ask your dog to wait (or hold them back). Throw The Clam a short distance (a few feet) in front of you, then release your dog.

They should race to The Clam to help themselves their treat inside. If they don’t race to it, try again, but shorten the distance.

Build up slowly and avoid helping your dog. It’s important they work these steps out for themselves.

Step 5.

Increase the distance

Now your dog can successfully race after and open The Clam by themselves, you are free to increase the distance.

Ask your dog to wait (or restrain them if you need to) and try throwing The Clam a little further away.

If your dog doesn’t race after it, you may need to repeat the steps above.

If they do race after it and get their treat, you’re ready to start using The Clam as a motivational power tool in your training!

Please note: These steps are a guide only and may need to be repeated more than once. We recommend making sure your dog is completely confident with each step before you move on.
