Dog Brick Interactive Treat Puzzle Dog Toy

Play together and supervise your dog closely. If your dog wants to chew on the game, correct & redirect their behavior. Start over as quickly as possible and get their attention back on the treats.

Did you know that 15 minutes of mental exercise equals 30 minutes of physical exercise for dogs? Dogs love to explore and problem solve in their own way. Some use their paws and some use their nose. Each game is designed with your dog’s natural behaviors, senses, and safety in mind.

The Benefits of Dog Puzzles

By putting your dog to work with a puzzle or game, you are focusing their attention and energy effectively, ultimately reducing boredom and destructive behaviors. Puzzles are also a great way to distract dogs from fireworks, thunderstorms and other situations where your dog may get anxious.

As Nina says—a dog has four legs and one head, and all five need exercise but in different ways. These challenging and rewarding activities will engage your dog’s mind and natural instincts.

Nina Ottosson puzzles can help build your relationship with a newly adopted dog and help shy dogs come out of their shell. You can also use these puzzles to train and practice basic commands like “sit” and “stay” with your pup.
