All our games and puzzles are made from certified wood covered with water-based varnish that is not harmful to humans and animals. Please keep the game dry and free of water exposure, as the wooden pieces may swell otherwise. Use only dry treats for playing with our games.



Here's how it works: 


1.     Hide your dog’s favourite treats under “hats” and “cylinders” as well as inside of the drawers. Make sure your pet observes you while you are doing it. 



2. Encourage your dog to seek the treats hidden inside of the puzzle. 



3. Praise the dog each time he/she solves the task - this motivates them to play as much as the smell of their favourite treat.
