Nina Ottosson Dog Smart

The gentlest introduction to board puzzles. Nine pegs sit in nine treat wells, and each peg has a small hole so your dog can smell which ones are loaded. Knocking or lifting a peg out of the way is a single step, so most dogs solve it in the first session and learn that puzzles pay. Once your dog clears it in seconds, it has done its job; move on to a Level 2 board. The pegs come right out, so collect them afterwards if your dog likes to carry off and chew small objects.
