Nina Ottoson interactive toys

[sugarmamma]

We own The Brick(thanks Heather and Zeus!!) and I just ordered Twister!

Tell me about the interactive puzzles you own and how you went about training them to work the puzzles without begging for help

I know Jadabug now owns Brick and Magic and Sophia's Mommy owns The Brick as well.

Anyone have experience with Twister? I'm hoping its pretty challenging

I don't have any puzzles - YET. You all are making me want to get some.

I have the hide-a-pup that Macky and Kendra sent Mandie. Both Mandie and her brother love playing with it, but they have yet to figure out that they can pull those pups out. lol

Carla/YazminD sent this one to Max & Teddy:

I put it on the floor and let the boys go to work. Teddy is really good with his paws and had a great time figuring it out. Max likes to study things first and moved the pieces with his nose.

I have the brick and the twister. They love them!! I first got the brick for my Harley when he was 6 months old because he had severe separation anxiety. I did not help him at all with them. He worked it until he figured it out, After the brick got too easy for him, I purchased the twister. i couldnt believe how smart he was with it! They go crazy when I get them out because they know they are getting treats

[sophias mommy]

Love the brick!!!!!!! Let me know how the twister works. Might need to get that one too!!!

I am loving the treat puzzle toys. It is a hoot watching them figure out where the good stuff is Poor Bogie got frustrated with the Dog Magic puzzle and wont even attempt to work at it..Jada mastered it in about two attempts. I am using mine to feed my two, they gobble their food so fast and slow feed bowls did nothing to slow them down.
These work like a charm I know I will be getting some different puzzles because they have so much fun with them.

I am going to order some of these. I bought Huey a kong that I was feeding him out of, but my hubby kicked it one night and stepped on kibble with his bare foot and has now forbidden the feeding of kibble via kong. Now poor Huey bats that kong around and tosses it trying to get something out of it, so nightly after he has eaten dinner from his bowl, I put a few cornflakes in the kong as a treat. I switched from cheerios to cornflakes because they are harder to get out and present more of a challenge. (And if hubby steps on a cornflake, it won't hurt his foot.) He LOVES it! I can't wait to get him some puzzle treat toys.

I have the twister. Honestly, I never did train them on how to use it. They just figured it out on their own.

I just ordered the Brick on Amazon. I can't wait until it comes. They are going to love it!

Tibbe has the Bone Shuffle (like the Brick only cheaper) and several different Kongs of various shapes and openings for treats/kibble and that is how he usually eats all his meals in the Bone Shuffle with 3 small kongs or the one bigger Kong lying on top. He gets to work usually starting with the bigger, round kong and then to the cone-shaped ones and he even has a kind of dumb bell shaped one. Keeps him busy working for his dinner and he loves it - chooses those over a bowl of food when given the choice. I just soak the kongs in hot soapy water, rinse and dry them out and only use dry kibble in the Bone Shuffle puzzle. He can empty it in no time.

Twister came today and its a hit!!! I will try to get a decent video to post. My phone memory seems to be full again

[Verbena]

They look like a lot of fun

You said the bone shuffle is cheaper? Michelle found The Brick on amazon for $20. Dishwasher safe. I paid $27 shipped for Twister. Also amazon.

I'm in love with Nina Ottosson puzzles!!!

I have been "switching up" who gets what puzzle (Curri was better at Twister and Sugar had mastered The Brick)

In 4 days....they each have mastered the opposing puzzles

Twister still has a few more levels of difficulty but I don't think I am going to go there yet.

so proud of my little Einsteins!!

I got Maya the squirrels she loves them.
