In the supplied manual is very well explained how to make the first training sessions, so can a dog that has been little experience with these games are well brought up, although it is a Level 2 game. As my Big already has some experience, I gave him a first, twice the Board portrayed filled and can even try to see what he comes as no manual handle before I have given assistance.
But once in detail:
We already had a game at the hat, made of wood and shaped differently, had to be lifted and my Big recognized the similarity immediately and plucked the hat from the game and threw it carelessly aside to get at the tasty sausage treasure. I always take pity on the poor little hat when are thrown around in the area, but that they are so far wonderful, because it is made slightly thicker plastic. Through the grooves they are for a dog mouth to grip well in vollgesabbertem state and not slip away.
Most problems we had at the beginning with the levers. When first trying out the poor little bones crunching scratch, Beisheim and Zerrattacken had to withstand since my Great was firmly convinced that you would still like to pull out the cone. Next time I have then the cap omitted and the slide with your hands (Beware of Dog Paws scratching) covered), so he needs to worry only about the lever. After yet some scratch, Beisheim and Zerrattacken he then found that you can not pull out. He now has two different methods developed (Stubsen front lever and withdraw from behind, since the walk around the board much too strenuous is ^^) aufzubekommen to the flaps.
However, what makes the flaps most difficult is that they are so easy to fall back. I have so little cheated at the start and held the door when he had them get open.
The slides were something new for us, but they slip even by slight contact with the nose or paw back and forth. Sometimes my Big forgets that including hiding something, but tap once on the slide enough that he again reminded).
For stability:
As might have realized my Big is, at least initially not particularly fond of the Flip Board handled. However, the greatest signs of wear are far superficial claw marks. Aborted is also nothing, and I already had the fear that the Knöchelchenhebel not survive the first time (it was dragged to it, scraped and chewed).
Slivered us is also nothing. I can imagine that the flaps could splinter in some way, we have not yet happened and because the coarse try fast was over, I've got no all to great concern. Should it happen sometime, I guess that can be broken elements take out easily because everything is individually bolted from below. I either way never let them play unsupervised would my big and so could intervene immediately if something should go wrong, I also not necessarily a risk of injury.
Clean the game:
After a game unit, the part looks real as hell, full of drool, dog hair and overlooked Leckerliekrümeln. Since I do not like to treat dog toy with detergents I wash it directly after playing thoroughly with hot (really hot) water and dry it off with a clean towel. Since the game is made of plastic that goes very well.
Other comments:
In other reviews of dogs playing I read again and again, "My dog has in X minutes understood how the game goes and empties it in record time that I find boring and I do not enjoy!", Unfortunately, go this reviews but then not on a whether the dog has fun even if the master / mistress is too boring. I mean yes, that should be pleased that they have such a super-intelligent dog who hinbekommt everything very quickly, or that they themselves so can give good support, that the dog does not equal giving up in frustration after the first attempt. I've learned that dogs can give up in frustration very quickly if it does not work later than the second or third attempt) since many do not have much patience. And if dogs can solve quickly a game that is more positive than negative for me.
In some reviews it will find the master and mistress bad and boring that their dog just once or twice on the board "sweeps" and already has all the goodies to applying any technique. Unfortunately, these reviews also go not to the fun of playing a dog. The own fun playing these games but I think rather secondary, if not third or viertrangig.
Our conclusion is:
, Easy to clean a very nice game and resistant to attack by impatient dogs. Since I have fun when my dog is having fun, it is relatively me no matter how, and how quickly he reaches his goal. The important thing is that he likes to do and does not lose interest. Very few dogs toys have existed for eternity, but for responsible handling of the game, I see us there already for some time have fun with, and it is my great toy too boring / easy.
We will definitely bring also other Dog Activity Products try to add variety to the matter. At the moment I liebäugel since the Level 2 Poker Box.
