Details

Good to know

The dog must be supervised when working with the ActivityMat
The ActivityMat must be placed so that the dog can get to it from all sides
Dogs are different. Some dogs choose to use their paws a lot, others use their snout. Accept the way your dog chooses to solve the tasks
Only allow one dog at the time to work with the activity
It is important that the dog is experiencing success when working with the ActivityMat. Therefore, start with a single task and let this be open. Give the dog the help it needs, without taking the initiative from it
If the dog does not know what to do, it is a good idea to give it a treat just for touching the ActivityMat
Choose the right time to work with the ActivityMat. If the dog is too eager, it might be a good idea to let it eat first. However, if it is less interested, it may be an advantage that it is hungry when it is presented to the ActivityMat.

Useful tips

Use a start command when the dog is about to work with the ActivityMat
Let, at first, the dog see that you put treats in the activities
Avoid over-stimulation, work max. 15 minutes at a time, but preferably several times a day
Always finish the work with the activity mat while the dog is successful.

Important:

Never leave your dog unattended with the activity toy. Do not let the dog chew or bite the activity toy. Always supervise your dog. Store the activity mat in the enclosed carrier bag (comes with the starter set) and put it away when not in use. The activity mat is made for dogs, it is not a toy for children.
