The answer? Keep your smart dog entertained, with the DogSmart Bone Puzzle Feeder from Outward Hound. It’s the brainchild of Swedish dog trainer, Nina Ottosson.
Hide a few of your dog’s favourite treats under each of the bone-shaped puzzle pieces, and challenge your dog to lift up the bones with their paw or nose to get to the treats underneath. It’s rewarding and stimulating – and once your dog’s got the hang of it, you can make the DogSmart even more challenging.
- Designed by Swedish dog trainer, Nina Ottosson
- Suitable for dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds
- Place treats, dry food or even wet food in each of the DogSmart’s compartments, then cover it with one of the bone-shaped puzzle pieces
- The puzzle pieces can be arranged in different ways to keep your dog interested
