Smart games designed by Nina Ottosson offer dog activation as well as spieces-specific activities. Dogs enjoy using their brain cells to solve puzzles.

These brain games are designed for different levels of players, from 1 to 4 levels, with 1 being the easiest and 4 being the hardest.

It’s best to start with an easy game for your dog, where they can get the hang of it quickly. If the dog does not understand the game, it may get frustrated and the game will not be appropriate for the dog. As your dog learns to play, its skills will develop and then you can move on to progressively more difficult games.

The Nina Ottosson Puppy Hide n’ Slide game is a 2 level game and is great for puppies. The object of the game is to hide treats in holes or under “pins”. Then move the slide over the hole. This way, your pup will first have to move the slide to get the treats, and then move the knob on and off the hole so that the treats fall into the hole and from there they can get the treats.

Be sure to let the pup figure out the task on his own first and if he gets frustrated, make the task easier.

Have fun playing!
