Nina Ottosson Toys:
It is a vital part of your dog's daily routine that they have ample mental stimulation in order to prevent them from becoming bored and frustrated. Boredom and Frustration can typically lead to behavioural issues, such as chewing and barking. In our busy lifestyles these days it can sometimes feel impossible to incorporate this into our day. The easiest way to do this would be by using strategy games and interactive toys. These can keep your dogs occupied for hours on end and can be used both indoors, as well as outdoors.
There are a wide variety of these toys available on the market, but Nina Ottosson toys are renowned for their quality and superior design. They are available in both plastic and wooden format and are robust and long lasting. They come in various difficulty levels, and most of the games have the capacity to adjust the difficulty rating as your dog becomes familiar with the strategy required. It won't be long before your dog figures out how to get to the hidden treats and the unpredictability of the game will provide hours of fun and entertainment. Each design has a unique mechanism that encourages your dog to use mental, as well as physical dexterity to figure out the correct strategy. Some of these games are also suitable for cats too. These games are also ideal for strengthening the bond with your pet, and encouraging some interactive play. Every dog is different and therefore you will find that their motivations are very different. However, eating is usually a common motivation for all animals, and hence these games being designed with treats as a reward.
Nina Ottosson Dog Smart - Level 1 Difficulty Rating:
This game is suitable for dogs of all sizes and ages, as well as for cats. It's a level 1 difficulty rating and your pet will soon figure out that they need to nudge the pieces with their paw or their nose to reveal the treats hidden beneath. If you want to make it even easier for your pet then you can tie a piece of string through the hole in the pieces to make it even easier to dislodge the pieces.
This is a great game as the level 2 difficulty rating makes it more challenging for your dog. This game has lots of scope for increasing the difficulty level and for challenging your dog that bit more. It's also a great game for teaching your dog commands such as 'wait' and 'go ahead' or 'back off'. The dog will only lift the block at the end of each track so they will need to use a great deal of concentration and energy to work it out for themselves.
The wooden dog twister has a level 3 difficulty rating and your dog needs to figure out how to move all the discs in a circular motion, in different directions to be able to get at the treats concealed beneath. You can make it a bit easier for your dog to begin with by locking some of the discs by using the wooden pegs. Once they are a bit more proficient at what they're doing, you can remove the pegs to make it a bit trickier.
With the plastic dog brick game, your dog needs to figure out how to slide the discs to reveal the treats beneath. You can increase the difficulty level by placing the white plastic bricks between the sliders, or you can make it a bit easier by tying a string through the hole on the sliders to make it easier for them to pull the sliders aside.
