Mickey's Pet Supplies carries the Brand New Nina Ottosson Dog Puzzle Toys

Feb. 27, 2010 - PRLog -- Mickey's Pet Supplies announces they now have the New Nina Ottosson Dog Puzzle Toys. The newly released Dog Casino, Dog Finder and Dog Twister were only available in the U.K.  Mickey's Pet Supplies is the first store to have these toys available for sale here in the United States.
These new toys are the best interactive dog toy you can purchase for your pets.
Nina Ottosson is a Swedish designer that has developed these games as brain exercises for pets.  Dogs love to be challenged and these toys enable problem solving abilities, thus keeping your pet's mind active.  Dogs and cats can be trained to work these puzzles.
Dog psychologists, trainers and behaviorists have been so excited with these interactive dog toys.  They work on a basic principle of hide and seek.  Each toy has a unique and distinctly different design.  They work by having your pet push bone shaped cups, slide drawers, spin the wheel etc.
These games will teach the dog to understand words like: wait, go ahead, back off, find it, sit etc while you are playing. Your dog or cat learns to listen for commands and then learn what to do. Of course, the praise to your pet reinforces their desire to do the games with you. The degree of difficulty can be modified with each game.
Dog Casino by Nina Ottosson is an activating, ingenious game for you and your dog or cat. The dog looks for treats by pulling out the flaps in different directions. In each flap there is a compartment where the treat can be hidden. Increase the degree of difficulty by locking the flaps using the bone-shaped pegs on top.

Begin by placing treats in all the flaps that can be pulled out. Allow the dog to watch as you put in the treats. The first few times you can make it a little easier for your dog by not pushing the flaps all the way in, so that the dog can smell and see a little of the treat. Try to get the dog to push the flap with its nose or paw in order to pull it out.
Once the dog has begun to understand how the flaps work, you can make it more difficult by pushing the flaps all the way in before the dog begins looking for the treats.
Increase the degree of difficulty.... The next step is to lock some of the flaps using the pegs on the top. The dog then has to learn how to lift up the pegs in order to pull out the flaps. A tip is to place a treat under a peg. Once the dog has understood how the pegs works all the flaps can be locked.

Dog Twister works by having your dog look for treats by moving one block after another in a circle in different directions; the blocks can also be locked in position by a bone-shaped peg on the up-side of the game. There are depressions under the blocks where treats can be hidden.  There are hollows under the blocks where treats can be hidden. The blocks can also be locked in position with pegs in holes around the up-side of the game. The dog is to learn to lift these pegs in order to be able to move the blocks and find the treats.

With Dog Finder your pet has 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.
