I love to slide my Dog Brick pieces because I know there will be something good to eat. -- Norman, The Puzzle Solving Dog

Plastic Interactive Dog Game
This Dog BRICK Nina Ottosson Fun Interactive Dog Game is the plastic version of this game. I prefer the wood versions of these dog puzzles; however, there are several benefits of the plastic versions. First, they are dishwasher safe, this is perfect for doggie day care or shelter situations and they have non-slip feet, which is an advantage for your dog when they are playing the game. This version also comes with a training guide and training CD in three languages. I found the CD to be very informative and it gave clear instructions on how to introduce the games to your dog, cat, or other pet. This is a dog puzzle that you and your dog enjoy together.
Dog Brick is a second level Nina puzzle. I like the fact that you can make this puzzle progressively harder as your dog solves the problems. The brown parts slide over the center bone-shape indent. 4 bone pieces insert into the bone shapes. When the bone pieces are in the center your dog will need to take them out before the brown pieces will slide and reveal the treats. This puzzle has 12 places for treats and is 15.5 inches wide by 11 inches.
Dog Brick Puzzle, 4.6.2010 Reviewer: Annie Adams (Caliente, CA)
I ordered this for a pup who was one of three puppies abandoned near our home. This puppy was the most assertive of the 3 and had some issues with getting too rough with the other 2. Giving her this puzzle, along with a behavior treatment plan and some positive reinforcement obedience training has helped her to keep busy and stimulated in more productive ways. It probably took her 3 to 4 times longer to eat, though she figured it out pretty quickly. I'll be adding in the bones next to give her more to figure out. I'm planning to use this at the rescue I train at as well. A wonderful way to keep bored dogs busy and help fearful dogs develop some self-confidence!
