New! Nina Ottosson Dog Casino, Dog Finder & Dog Twister


Just In! The New Nina Ottosson Dog Casino, Dog Finder and Dog Twister have arrived here at Mickey's Pet Supplies.

We are so excited to have these new toys. The Dog Casino is now in the plastic, washable version and at a good price point.
With Dog Finder your dog or cat(yes, cats can do this puzzle toy too!) 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 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!

Dog Twister- The dog/or cat is to learn to look for treats by moving one block after another around in a circle in different directions. 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. Teach the dog words like: wait, go ahead, go back, find it, sit etc. while you are playing. All of the Nina Ottosson dog toys will enrich your relationship with your pet. You show. The dog/cat looks, listens and learns. Give praise when it does the right thing.

With the Dog Casino- in this new washable plastic version- The dog/cat is to look 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.

We recommend these dog puzzle toys to keep your pet's mind healthy and active. One of our regular customers is the Cherokee County Animal Shelter in Georgia. They have been working with their adoptable dogs and cats and have their volunteers playing and interacting with their wonderful animals.

Here is what one of their e-mails said: Thank you so much Ann!
We are actually going to use the additional Pink Spinny with the cats!
We appreciate you sending these so quickly. We have made copies of your business card to hand out when people ask about the puzzles. We have actually had several volunteers who want to use them with their own dogs.
Here are a few pictures of LUKE one of our longest resident dogs demonstrating the puzzles at our recent Grand RE-Opening with our trainer, Katherine.
They were a BIG HIT. Katherine is teaching each of the volunteers the best ways to use the puzzles.
Today was rainy and two volunteers came in and played with some of the dogs using the puzzles - lost all track of time!

Thanks again for your speedy shipping and great service! We look forward to ordering more from you.
