Nina Ottoson Dog Twister

A challenging and fun game for you and your canine buddy.

Looking for a new way to play with your dog? With this game your dog learns to find treats by moving one block after another around in a circle in different directions. Treats can be hidden in the hollows under the blocks.

Once your dog has mastered the first level you can up the ante by locking the blocks in position using holes around the up-side of the game. Then your dog will learn to lift these pegs in order to be able to move the blocks and find the treats. Teach your dog words like: wait, go ahead, go back, find it, sit etc. while you are playing. 

The Dog Twister will enrich your relationship with your dog. Games which involve mental stimulation like this one are great for expending excess energy. Your dog will feel happy and satisfied after the challenge and the treats. 

How to Use

The first time you place treats in all the hollows. Let your dog watch. Place the blocks so that some treats can be seen between some blocks.  Tell your dog to “go ahead” and allow your dog to try and find the treats. If your dog hasn't quite got it yet, point with your finger to a treat in a hollow. Praise the dog immediately when she uses the toy correctly. When your pup has understood what to do you can hide a different number of treats each round.

Increase the degree of difficulty… lock the blocks with bone-shaped pegs which are to be placed in the hollows all around the up-side of the game. Your dog learns to unplug the blocks by lifting the pegs one by one in order to be able to move the blocks and then find the treats. You can also hide treats under all the pegs. Start by locking some of the blocks. Later when your dog understands how to work, you can lock all the blocks. The pegs can also be placed sideways in order to make it easier for your dog to grasp them.

Important… Do not let your dog chew or bite the toy. Only play with the Dog Twister together with your dog. Do not leave your dog unattended and always make sure you put the toy away once the game is over.
