Mandala & Star Dog Treat Puzzle

This dog puzzle contains two games in one - you can easily choose which puzzle to play by turning it over. We recommend this game for the beginners in field of intelligent games activities for your pet.

In "Mandala" (difficulty level 2 paws) straight and curved tracks which guide the "hats" where treats are hidden are placed symmetrically; while in "Star" they form the shape of a star.

The puzzle trains dog's dexterity and concentration skills while boosting their natural instincts of curiosity, drive to play and sense of smell. 

According to dog's behaviorists 10 minutes of mental stimulation through interactive games equals an hour of physical exercise. This is especially important for the dogs living in large cities where long walks may be difficult, for senior dogs with ailments that do not allow them for prolong outings, and for those living in cold climates, where going outside could be a health risk.

How to play:

1. Begin game training by hiding one or two treats until your dog gets the idea and is successful at moving the pieces to find treats.
2. Hide your dog's favorite treat under "cylinders" and "hats" and then place them in the tracks. Make sure your dog sees you placing the treats inside of the puzzle pieces.
3. Verbally encourage your dog to start the search or if necessary show them the treat hidden under the "cylinder" and "hat".
4. The treat will be found under the "cylinder" by knocking it down with a paw or a nose and in case of the "hat" by moving it in its track to the position where the "hat" can be lifted revealing the treat.
5. Don't forget to praise your dog every time he finds a treat.
