What kind of mental stimulation do Afghan Hounds need?

Afghan Hounds, despite a low problem-solving score of 1/5, benefit greatly from mental challenges that tap into their innate drives. Lure coursing is ideal, engaging their strong prey drive and need for speed, while scent work provides a stimulating outlet for their keen noses. Puzzle toys can be beneficial, but focus on those that are less about complex problem-solving and more about discovery or reward. Providing opportunities for independent exploration in secure areas also satisfies their curious and somewhat aloof nature.
