Holiday shopping gets a lot more specific when you live with a reactive dog. Suddenly, you’re out here analyzing toys the way other folks obsess over air fryers. That’s why this new reel from @lostwithbuzz feels instantly useful. It opens on rescue dog Buzz, fast asleep on his little elevated bed, looking like he’s recharging before a big shift.
The text on screen says, “5 enrichment toys you should put on your Christmas list, especially if you live in an apartment,” and it fits perfectly with Mandy’s whole thing: helping other pet parents figure out how to keep a sensitive dog busy without turning the neighbors into enemies.
Owner lists ‘enrichment toys’ for dogs that won’t disturb neighbors in video
This little slice of dog-parent wisdom has taken off, pulling in more than 140K views. Buzz runs through the whole toy lineup, and underneath his anxious edges, you catch that familiar, food-motivated Labrador Retriever vibe. Mandy explains in the caption, “They are all rubber made so you don’t have to worry about disturbing neighbors downstairs,” and that’s what it’s about: smart toys, minimum chaos.
For reactive dogs like Buzz, toys like these aren’t just fun — they’re grounding. And for pet parents like Mandy, sharing this list is just another way of making life a little easier for everyone else trying to raise a happy dog upstairs from someone else’s ceiling. First up is the Benebone Pawbler. Buzz pushes it around with this deliberate, zoned-in energy. Treats tumble out as it rolls, and he tracks every piece as it owes him rent.
Then comes the Ruffwear Porcini Toy, which Buzz clearly knows inside out. He gives it a practiced bop. The Outward Hound Orbee-Tuff puzzle ball is next, and Buzz follows its path across the floor, letting it drop a trail of treats he cleans up with efficiency.
Mandy holds out the West Paw Toppl after that, and Buzz switches to licking, nibbling, and settling into that meditative zone enrichment toys are famous for. But nothing beats his reaction to the Arf Pets automatic treat dispenser. He’s chilling next to Mandy, totally relaxed, and then the dispenser clicks on, and he launches himself into the other room like someone rang a dinner bell.
Scroll the comments, and it’s toy tips, holiday gifting intel, and a whole bunch of apartment pet parents thrilled to find toys that don’t make them sound like they’re hosting an elephant parade.
