My cats had a neat toy years ago called a Peek-A-Prize Box. It was wooden and very solid, with holes drilled into the top and sides (the holes were big enough I could get my hand in there, too). Until Montgomery came along I would load it with snacks, but when it became apparent that everything upset his stomach (he hadn't been diagnosed yet), I switched to toys. I don't know how big your dog is, but if he's twenty pounds or less, this would probably work. If he's bigger than that, you could probably make a larger one if you're handy. They had a lot of fun with it, full of marbles, ping-pong balls and crinkle-poms. Squeakie balls, tennis balls, and small stuffed toys could be substituted.
There used to be a line of toys by Nina Ottosen (sp?) that were puzzles. The compartments were large enough to hold a toy, I think...Its been awhile.

Re: Ideas for enrichment toys?
Montgomery was born 20 March 2012. He eats extra lean ground chicken, lean ground pork and lean ground beef completed with Alnutrin and freeze-dried chicken liver, with hard-cooked egg. He gets two size zero capsules of Enzyme Diane's enzymes at each of his six meals, and a size four capsule of Tylan three times a day. He's a fierce little Spitfire with a roaring Merlin engine.
