Dog Box

Dog Box

An amusing game for dogs to be played together with their owner, a game that develops the dog’s intelligence and puzzle-solving skills. This is more than just a dog toy. The dog is to learn to put blocks into a box with holes on top. The game has three degrees of difficulty. When the dog succeeds in getting the block into the hole, treats fall out.

Place several treats piled on each other on the rubber edge on top of the sloping board of the box. Make sure that the treats can fall down, try out the way that is best for the treats you use before letting the dog try. Start by placing a block (or a ball) a bit away from the hole of the upper board. The dog is supposed to push the block deliberately into the hole so that the treats fall out. If the dog tries to strike with the paw or tries to put in his nose in order to take the treat, just put your hand over the hole and point at the block.

Now place the block on the floor in front of the DogBox. Use the command "Fetch" or whatever command you prefer to use and lead the dog’s attention with a movement of your hand to the hole and say "Let go" or a similar command. If the dog misses the hole – that happens quite often in the beginning, put a small treat in front of the toy as a reward that the dog let go the toy block so near the hole.

Make it more difficult... ...When the dog has understood how the DogBox works (it may happen that it take quite some time – so have patience) the upper board can be replaced with one of the other two boards, with a higher degree of difficulty, in the bottom of the DogBox, you can also hide the blocks and let the dog seek for it before put the block into the box.

The Idea… … with Dog Box is to have a pleasant and rewarding time together with your dog. You show how to play, your dog watches, listens and learns and you both have fun together!

Your dog will enjoy these moments and look forward each time to playing!
