Mandala & Star

MANDALA & STAR from My Intelligent Dogs® are two games in one. This provides both fun and variety for your pet. You can easily turn MANDALA into STAR and vice versa. MANDALA has straight and curved tracks that form a symmetrical shape and STAR has tracks in the shape of a star. MANDALA & STAR both share the same game pieces which is very convenient.

The MANDALA & STAR game invented by My Intelligent Dogs® is an enjoyable game of skill. You can easily change its level of difficulty from easy to difficult thanks to many game parts (caps and cylinders) that come with the game. All previously hidden treats can be found by moving the caps and the cylinders that are placed in the tracks. Firstly all obstacles (cylinders) have to be removed and then the caps have to be lifted.

Your dog will have to use its skills and patience if it wants to find the reward. Your dog will be able to train its fine motor skills and learn how to coordinate its various movements. At the beginning you should start with the STAR – as it is easier – and slowly prepare your dog for the MANDALA which is surely the more difficult version of this game.

Both game versions of MANDALA & STAR come with 20 game parts (each version has 10 caps and 10 cylinders).

Here's how it works:

Step 1: Hide suitable treats under the caps.

Step 2: Encourage your dog to play the game – for example, you can show your dog where it can find its reward.

Step 3: Your dog has to lift the cylinders first and then push and lift the caps. Under these caps your dog will find the hidden treats.

Step 4: Praise your dog each time it finds something and let your dog look for other treats.

Hints:

Play with your dog and encourage it to solve the task. Stay calm, be patient and continue to explain the game to your dog until it understands.

Do not let your dog play unsupervised and intervene when it starts to bite the game.

Let your dog search for the treats no longer than 10 minutes, otherwise it might lose its interest in the game. Distract your dog with something else and put the game away for a little while.

A few days break from MANDALA & STAR and playing with other games from My Intelligent Dogs® games collection will let your dog enjoy the MANDALA & STAR game anew each time you give it to your dog.

Suitable treats:

Only dry dog snacks should be used with the MANDALA & STAR game.
