Product Description
DogFighter - wood
An exciting and activating game for you and your dog
The dog is to look for treats by moving blocks in four different directions. The block can only be lifted up at the end of each track, underneath each block there is a compartment where snacks can be hidden...
Tip: you can vary the game by using more than one block in the same track...
If the dog wants to throw him/herself on the game and hit hard with its paw, then teach it to work with the nose. One suggestion is to put the Dog Fighter on a stool which is adapted to the size of the dog.
Make it more difficult...
... To make the game harder, use for example big Dog Smart blocks or a rolled-up piece of cloth or paper in the rounded part of the track, which the dog has to remove in order to get to the Dog Fighter block. You can vary the game by using more than one block in the same track.
The Idea ...
... with Dog Fighter is that you and your dog will have a fun and enjoyable time together. You demonstrate. The dog watches, listens and learns.
Together you have fun!
Remember...
...Do not let the dog bite the Dog Fighter. Play with it together with the dog. Do not leave the dog unattended. The dog must not play with or chew the blocks.

Five Stars from Five Dogs! December 23, 2009
S. Wussow (WI, USA)

Our five rescued dogs LOVE this toy! We followed the instructions online for introducing it to them gradually and getting them used to it by making things very easy at first, to boost their success rate, confidence, and interest... Now two of them use it on the "hardest" level and absolutely BEG for the chance to play with their puzzle!
All I have to do is take it out and they recognize it by sight and can't wait to have their turn with their game. I have to put the other four in a closed room while one uses it, and I hear whining until each has had their turn.
And of course, it achieves the desired effect: dogs that are MENTALLY stimulated AND worn out - and ready for a nap afterwards!
We also have a plastic Ottosson toy, and a benefit to that one is that it has rubber feet, and only four pieces come out (the others just slide) - so it is much easier to put away when finished. Also, the treat holes in this game are smaller, and it's kind of hard to get the treat to stay in the tube while you're inserting the tube into the board. These are human considerations - from the dogs' perspective, that one is a bit easy to get the hang of; not so with this challenging toy.
The construction is very good, and stands up to our dogs' sometimes overly-enthusiastic attempts at getting to the treats (they weight between 50 and 75 lbs.)
For treats we use Premier Liver Biscotti and they work very well.
I'd recommend this toy to any of my friends who are owned by dogs - and have. Our dogs are our kids, so we value a product that provides them with a means to stimulate their little minds and bodies in a constructive way.
If you have a dog that is destructive due to boredom, this toy is just what you need!
