It requires your dog to remove the cones from the board in order to uncover the treats hidden underneath. There is a small hole on top of each cone gives your pet the ability to detect the treat using his sense of smell. However, dogs must then lift up, rather than knock over, the cones to earn their treats. Vary the number and placement of cones to increase the level of difficulty. The non-slip rubber feet keep the game in place as your dog plays and explores. We’ve also included an instructional booklet with tips and tricks for challenging and training dogs of all ages through play. Suitable for dogs of all ages and activity levels. As with any other product, your pet should be supervised with this toy.
