    In the past I have stumbled upon videos showing the positive impact of treat buckets on kennels.  The videos showed a kind of before and after.  Now that I really need them, I am having trouble finding any.  Does anyone have links to similar videos to share?  I'm really interested in something that shows the progress of dogs - not just the after.

    Here's a linnk to an article with video about treat buckets. I'm looking for  either DIY buckets or marketed ones that are worth the money.

    We've used the metal buckets, clipped to the enclosure. They offer various sizes (xs for cat kennels, m for dog kennels).

    We use stainless steel "coop" cups with a screw attachment for our kennels. They are cheap and work wonderfully! Super easy to clean. They look a lot like this one:
