Hi, all! I read an article about a designer of dog toys that are mentally stimulating and wanted to share them with you. Designer's name is Nina Ottosson -- toys are sold on various websites. Here is one: http://www.surreypetsupplies.co.uk/acatalog/Nina_Ottosson_Toys.html#a4305 . They are a bit pricey but really interesting. I would love to see a dog actually figure them out.

Those look pretty cool. I wonder if there are any US distributors?

The article was in a past issue of The Bark magazine and I am pretty certain there was a U.S. distributor. I'll check to see if I still have that issue.
Guess what I did find ... a video of a beagle working one of the games: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMNTf2zAY3o&NR=1

Amazing! Nothing stands between a beagle and his treat

I love that video! I would love to get one of those for Jersey.

Those are very cool! I found a US distributor, I'm sure there are more.

I love the video. If anyone tries one I'd enjoy hearing how it goes. I wonder if Maggie would learn to use them or if she would sit down and chew her way through?

Good point. I never thought of that. Jersey does love to chew on wood.

Jen --maybe this is the one for Jersey -- it isn't made from wood -- looks like a good change of pace from the Kong:
Pyramid toy
