A SMARTER CHOICE: When it comes to training dogs, dog games and puzzles are a great way to engage and entertain your pup while they learn new skills. No matter the age, size or breed of your dog, Nina Ottosson dog games are as interactive as they are exciting and fun.

JUST KEEP SPINNING: Each level of the Nina Ottosson Dog Tornado spins as your dog searches for treats hiding inside. The spinning movement keeps your dog engaged and presents them with a fun and challenging way to play independently.

LEVEL 2 CHALLENGE: Different from Level 1 dog games, Level 2 Nina Ottosson dog games present your dog with more interesting ways to problem solve while giving you new ways to teach and train your dog.

HOW TO PLAY: Place treats or kibble in the compartments of the base. Cover some compartments with bones. The more covered compartments, the harder the game will be! Let the games begin! Show your dog how the game works and encourage them to find treats. Dogs are smarter than you think. Sometimes we just need to teach them! Leave some compartments uncovered and show your dog how it spins.

FROZEN PUZZLE: Mix some canned/wet dog food or raw food with water, pour some of the mixture in the hollows, or place a small piece of sausage or a tasty treat in each of the hollows, pour a little water, put the game in the freezer and let it set. Perfect for energetic dogs, hot weather, or just extended fun.

PLAY TOGETHER: Nina Ottosson Dog Puzzle Games focus on challenging your dog’s brain. Supervise when playing, and don´t let the dog chew on the toy. Teach your dog how to use the puzzle, play and have fun together. Put away until next time.

EASY TO CLEAN: To wash your dog’s Dog Tornado, simply remove all treats/kibble and hand wash with warm soapy water, rinse clean and dry. Fill again for more fun!

Answer your customers' common questions

What training methods do you use?

Trail Sniffers follows the LIMA approach towards training. It stands for Least Intrusive Minimally Aversive.

Trail Sniffers believes that training is most effective when following science based and positive reinforcement methods.

Trail Sniffers strives for learner-centered, minimally stressful, and thoughtful training sessions with all species. We use gentle methods based on the most current science of dog training and behavior.

What training equiptment do you use?

Respect for dogs and their people, kindness, science, food, play, observation, humor, creativity, and a clicker/word markers "yes"

How quickly can you "fix" my dog or expect to see results?

Trail Sniffers job is not to "fix your dog and their behaviour. Our goal is to provide you with management stratergies, training knowledge and skills so that you feel confident in training and supporting your dog so that you both have a happy and sucsessful life together.

If your dog has been practicing an undesirable behavior for 2 years, do not expect the behaviour to change within 2 weeks. Often we can provide the information needed in our consultation to train the new behavior with no follow-up sessions, but practice is the key to success. Many behaviors will take multiple sessions. Expect the best outcome if you do the training too

What is a "Behavioural Consultation"?

Behavioural Consultations are designed to address undesirable behaviours rather than basic cues. Undesirable behaviours include barking, separation anxiety, aggression, fearfulness and anxiety to name a few.

Will I always have to train with rewards?

Rewards are your dogs motivator. Think of it like it is a payment for a job well done. There are things everywhere in the enviroment that a puppy and adult dog will deem to be more interesting than we are. We need to give them a reason to want to check in with us or perform a behavior or cue.

Simply put - Would you work for free? Probably not, so why would your doig ?

FoodPraise/Play/ which ever your dog finds most rewarding - only your dog will know. Rewarads are a motivators for our dogs when training and since they won’t accept cash, find what they do accept.

Can you guarantee the training will stick?

If you are consistent, follow Trail Sniffers instructions and you are kind in training your dog, we guarantee you will see a change in behavior.
