They have holes in them that you can put kibble or treats
and the dog has to think
and really work to get the treat. Even a plain chew toy would probably help distract her from you when she gets too demanding.
You'll still have to make certain times of the day "puppy time" - just like you would with a human child. Schedules work great with dogs. They soon learn what time of the day is walk time, play time, nap time, food time, etc.
