Nina Ottosson Dog Finder Interactive Toy (Plastic)

The easy to clean Dog Finder by Nina Ottosson is an exciting and activating game for you and your dog or cat.

The dog/cat looks for treats by moving blocks in four different directions. The block can only be lifted at the end of each track. Under each block there is a depression where treats can be hidden.

The idea with Dog Finder is that you and your dog/cat will have a nice and enjoyable time together. The dog/cat is to learn to look for treats by moving blocks with its paw or nose in four different directions. The block can only be lifted at the end of each track. Under the blocks there are hollows where treats can be hidden. You can place 1 or 2 blocks in each track. Teach the dog/cat to understand words like: wait, go ahead, back off, find it, sit etc while you are playing. Enrich your relationship with your dog. You show. The dog/cat looks, listens and learns. Praise it when it does things right. Together you will have fun!

The first time you use Dog Finder, have only one block in each track, with treats under each block. Let the dog/cat be present to see when you hide the treat. Tell the dog/cat to go ahead and let it try to find the treats by itself. If the dog/cat does not understand, lift one block and show the treat and let the dog/cat try again. Praise the dog/cat as soon as it does things right.

When the dog/cat has understood how to work, you hide a different number of treats in each game. It depends on the dog/cat how many times you manage to play. If the dog/cat tries to bite the game or its parts, put your hand over it and stop the game. When the dog/cat has calmed down you can say 'go ahead' and let the dog/cat try again. If the dog repeatedly wants to bite, teach it to work only with its paw. If, on the other hand, the dog/cat wants to throw itself on the game and beat excessively with its paw, then teach it to work with its nose by putting the game on a stool/chair which is adapted to the size of the dog/cat. This is also useful if the dog/cat has an injured paw or is newly operated.

Increase the degree of difficulty by using more blocks in each track.

Tips

If the dog/cat finds it hard to grip the blocks, you can tie a string through the holes in the blocks.
