An educational way to activate you and your dog.

Your dog should push in the buttons with its nose to get a reward.

Together with your dog, hide a treat in each compartment. Sitting on a stool, chair or on the floor, place the DogTrigger (standing) between your knees, in your lap or on the floor, at your dog’s eye level. Start the game with a command like “OK”. Point at a button. Your dog should touch or push in the button with its nose to get a reward.
Allow your dog to watch you load the game with treats.
Encourage your dog by helping to push in the block so it receives a treat. As your dog understands the game, set the block completely out. Finally, let the dog alone try to figure out how to retrieve the treats.
Each time your dog succeeds, praise it! If your dog uses its paw, discourage it with your hand and try again.

Make it more difficult...
....When your dog understands how to play the game, try varying the game by hiding a different amount of treats. How long you can play depends on your dog, but typically 15 minutes per round is enough for most dogs.

The Idea…
...with DogTrigger is to have a pleasant and rewarding time together with your dog. You show how to play, your dog watches, listens and learns and you both have fun together. Your dog will enjoy these moments and look forward each time to playing DogTrigger.
