Nina Ottosson Dog Puzzle Toys at Mickey's Pet Supplies

The Nina Ottosson dog puzzle toys are here at Mickey's Pet Supplies.
These dog puzzle toys are very much appreciated and are used by dogs and other animals and their owners in many countries.
Theses interactive dog toys are also recommended by dog psychologists, veterinaries, dog-trainers and other dog-owners. Nina Ottosson has worked with the development and design of dog-activating toys/games that will mentally stimulate the dog, i.e. “brain exercises” in a fun and creative way. The toys are also easy to get out and use indoors and are specially developed to match the dog’s natural movements and instincts.
Activating – Problem Solving The dog puzzle toys are meant for the dog to work with problem solving in different ways, by finding hidden dog snacks, e.g. to lift blocks, push pieces, turn discs, push blocks, put blocks inside something etc.
All dogs need to use their head sometimes in order to keep healthy. Some dogs need more brain activity than others. If dogs are not provided with an outlet for its energy in the form of different types of activity or other stimulation, they can sometimes find their own “activity” which we as dog-owners often do not appreciate, like for instance chewing things to pieces, becoming aggressive or just generally over-active. The activity toys are also very good to use when the dog for various reasons can not move about freely, e.g. when injured or limping etc. Activating a dog can be anything from letting the dog do tracking in the woods, teaching it different tricks, obedience training or hiding a snacks in a room and let the dog find it. In the summer when the weather is good and it is not raining, the dogs normally get more stimulation, it is easier and more fun to be out and play and think of activities with your dog. In the autumn and winter it can be boring to be out when it is raining, snowing and windy. At the same time it is often hard to vary the activities indoors and think of fun activities that are entertaining, simple and stimulating. Hence, Nina Ottosson developed a wonderful line of dog-activating or interactive dog toys.
The Nina Ottosson puzzle toys/games for dogs are easy to get out, and fun to use both for the dog and the dog-owner. While the games are being used the dog and the dog-owner will get a chance to have more contact with each other. Check out the Dog Spinny, Dog Tornado, Dog Brick and Dog Magic puzzle toys and stimulate your dog's mind.
