Your dog has to work out which piece moves and in which direction, rather than simply nosing at it — which is what makes the difference between two minutes of interest and twenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSliding pieces and covered compartments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoughly 30 cm across — enough working area for a medium or large dog to use their nose properly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-toxic plastic, wipe clean or rinse under the tap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree colours: light blue, orange and red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStarting your dog off\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not fill it and hand it over. That is how puzzle toys end up in a cupboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStart with every compartment open and treats in plain sight, so your dog learns the board is worth investigating. Then cover one. Then two. Build up over a few sessions until they are solving the whole thing. A dog who fails on the first attempt often will not come back to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it suits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDogs who finish a bowl in twenty seconds, dogs left alone for a few hours, and dogs on restricted exercise after an injury. A puzzle board gives a dog something to do with their brain when their legs are not an option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt also works as a slow feeder — put part of a meal in rather than treats, and dinner takes fifteen minutes instead of thirty seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWorth knowing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a puzzle, not a chew toy. Supervise a dog who is inclined to pick things up and destroy them, and put it away between sessions — both for the toy's sake and because a puzzle that is always available stops being interesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFree UK delivery. 14-day returns.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Petsworth","offers":[{"title":"Light Blue","offer_id":58699913363781,"sku":"MPW-TOY-PUZZ-LBL","price":33.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0884\/6147\/6165\/files\/dp_4.png?v=1785242617","url":"https:\/\/mypetsworth.com\/products\/interactive-puzzle-toy-for-dogs-slow-feeding-iq-training","provider":"My Petsworth","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
