It is a very challenging game that requires some degree of skill from your dog. Difficulty level varies from 1 paw to 4 paws by adding and removing number of tokens (hats and cylinders) from the structure. This puzzle comes with 6 drawers and 8 of each kind of tokens. By purchasing additional hats the game challenge can be increased to staggering 33 tasks! It is of our all time bestsellers and dogs and their parents have a lot of fun playing with it.
 
According to dog’s behaviorists 10 minutes of mental stimulation with employment of interactive game equivalents to 1 hour of physical exercise. This is especially important for the dogs living in large cities where long walks are difficult and impossible, senior dogs with ailments that do not allow them for prolong outings and those living in cold climates, where going outside can put animal’s health at risk.
 
How to play:
 
1.    Hide your dog’s favorite treat in various places (under “hats” and “cylinders”, inside of the drawers, under the trapdoor between the towers). Make sure your pet observes you while you are doing it.
 
2.    Encourage verbally your dog to look for the hidden treats.
 
3.    The treat will be found under the “cylinder” any 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. The drawers can be opened by pulling on the string attached to them.
 
4.    Make sure to praise your dog each time he/she finds a treat.
 
 
Tip:
We recommend that you start the game with fewer pieces, as your dog may lose motivation if it is not able to solve the game after a few attempts. Let your dog watch as you hide the treats in the game to stimulate its curiosity. By being patient, showing it how the game works and giving it encouragement, you can ensure your dog will enjoy playing the game with you and will solve the puzzle, boosting its self-confidence.
 
Never let your dog play unsupervised, and intervene if it starts to chew pieces of the game. Regularly check the pieces for any damage such as splinters. Clean by wiping with a damp cloth, and do not use abrasive cleaners.
