Key Features:
Advanced Puzzle Design: The Dog Twister features a complex design with multiple sliding pieces that your dog must maneuver to reveal hidden treats. Each piece is locked in place until your dog figures out how to slide them to uncover the compartments beneath.

Bone-Shaped Pegs: The toy includes bone-shaped pegs that can be used to lock the sliding pieces, adding an extra layer of difficulty and ensuring a more challenging puzzle for your dog.

Durable and Safe: Constructed from high-quality, non-toxic, and BPA-free plastic, the Dog Twister is sturdy and safe for your dog to play with. Its robust design can withstand vigorous play.

Non-Slip Base: Equipped with anti-slip feet to keep the toy stable on the floor, preventing it from moving around during play and ensuring a focused and enjoyable experience for your dog.

Easy to Clean: The toy is designed for easy disassembly and cleaning. Each part can be washed with soap and water to maintain hygiene and safety.

Setup:

Place the toy on a flat, stable surface.
Hide treats or kibble in the compartments under the sliding pieces. Use the bone-shaped pegs to lock the pieces if you want to increase the difficulty.
Adjust the positioning of the sliding pieces and pegs to create the desired level of challenge for your dog.

Introduce to Your Dog:

Show your dog how to interact with the toy by moving the sliding pieces to reveal a treat.
Encourage them to use their nose and paws to move the pieces and discover the hidden treats.

Encourage Play:

Praise and reward your dog when they successfully uncover a treat, reinforcing the positive behavior and encouraging continued engagement.
If your dog finds the puzzle too challenging, reduce the difficulty by removing the pegs or making the treats more accessible until they become more proficient.
Increase Difficulty:

Gradually increase the challenge by using the pegs to lock the sliding pieces in place, requiring your dog to figure out how to remove the pegs before sliding the pieces.
Rotate the positioning of the treats and pegs to keep the puzzle fresh and interesting for your dog.

Regular Cleaning:

Disassemble the toy after each use and wash all parts with warm, soapy water to remove any food residue.
Rinse thoroughly to ensure no soap residue remains, and dry completely before reassembling and storing the toy.
Inspection:

Regularly check the toy for any signs of wear or damage, especially if your dog is a strong chewer. Replace the toy if it shows significant wear to prevent small pieces from breaking off and becoming a choking hazard.
Storage:

Store the toy in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain its condition.
Keep it out of direct sunlight to prevent the plastic from becoming brittle over time.
