Dog Puzzles

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

I mentioned somewhere in the past couple of weeks that I was ordering new dog puzzles for Guinness, and someone asked me where I was getting them.  Well with the holidays not only did I forget to respond, but I also forgot who asked, and now I can't find the post.  Guinness seems to like puzzles, but I've been frustrated because he figured out the ones I have in about 5 minutes, and then it was just about how fast he could get his paws on the treats.  It was no fun.  Karen actually turned me on to the Nina Ottosson toys and puzzles.  For whoever asked, I'm sorry that I did not get back to you, but here is the link to the site... http://www.activedogtoys.com/.  I ordered him the Nina Ottosson Dog Casino which is the highest degree of difficulty, and it took the dog in the video quite a while to figure out, so I'm hopeful that this will work for Guinness.  Murph is another story....no puzzles for that guy.  I ordered him the Animal X Tire Ball, which is supposedly made for tough chewers and it makes 20 different animal sounds....right up the "big guy's alley".

Sounds fun! Thanks for the link!

[Jarka, Monty & Auggie]

I just watched the video. Wow, that dog is very calm and persistent. I got Monty a different kind of a puzzle (Ethical Pet Seek-A-Treat Flip 'N Flap Dog Puzzle), but it was too small and lightweight for the big guy. He has no patience so he was pounding at that thing with his paws until something fell out. He did figure out how to slide the one part with his nose, but the flip flaps were quite difficult (also because the puzzle kept sliding all over the floor).

Let us know how Guinness likes it and take a video.

Halas has a couple of the Nina Ottosson toys, and he loves them.

Thanks for this post, I have to check out that link! Wheeler LOVES puzzles ( with string cheese pieces hidden in it or apple chunks). He is the same way, every time he gets a new puzzle, he seems to figure it out in a couple of minutes & the next time he gets it, it doesn't seem to challenging! They are such smart little buggers!
