Are you looking for a interactive dog toy that will keep your dog guessing for a while? The Dog Box by Nina Ottosson is a great option. It develops your dog's intelligence and rewards their problem solving skill with treats. The dog learns to pick up blocks and insert them into the top of the box. Each time they succeed a treat is discharged from the box. You can control the level of difficulty with the three different lid configurations.

These unique interactive wooden dog puzzles are designed to enrich your pet's mind and foster a stronger relationship between the owner and their dog.

Place several treats piled on each other on the rubber edge on top of the sloping board of the box. Make sure that the treats can fall down, try out the way that is best for the treats you use before letting the dog try. Start by placing a block or a ball a bit away from the hole of the upper board. The dog is supposed to push the block deliberately into the hole so that the treats fall out. If the dog tries to strike with their paw or tred to put their nose in order to take the treat, just put your hand over the hold and point at the block.

Now place the block on the floor in front of the Dog Box. Use the command "Fetch" or whatever command your prefer to use and lead the dog's attention with a movement of your hand to the hole and say "Let Go" or a similar command. If the dog misses the hold- that happens quite often in the begging- put a small treat in front of the toy as a reward that the dog let go of the toy block so near the hole.

When the dog has understood how the Dog Box works (it may happen that it takes quite some time- so have patience) the upper board can be replaced with one of the other two boards, with a higher degree of difficulty, you can also hide the blocks and let the dog seek for it before he puts the block into the box.

Remember: do not let the dog bite the Dog Box or chew the blocks. Play with it together with the dog and then put it away when you can supervise.
