Piano – (Interactive Toy of the Year!)

The Piano was named winner of the Interactive Toy Product of the Year award! Unlike flat puzzles where your dog slides tiles, this innovative game requires them to work both vertically and horizontally to earn rewards — a unique combination of movement, sound and scent.

Features:

• Eight wooden tubes hide the treats
• Each pressed tube drops a reward and plays a note on the xylophone
• Adjustable difficulty via pins under the tubes
• Trains focus, dexterity and sense of smell at the same time

Why it suits your Cocker:
Cockers combine a strong sense of smell with a tireless urge to search and a surprisingly fine sense of precision — this Piano appeals to all three at once. The vertical pushing requires slightly more controlled paw and nose movements than a flat puzzle, which fits perfectly with the dexterity this breed naturally has as a gundog. And let's be honest: a Cocker "composing" its own little tune while searching for treats is exactly the kind of enrichment this curious breed needs to stay sharp and content.

Tip: the perfect next step after Smile for a Cocker that is slowly getting bored of simpler sliding puzzles — combine both for variety throughout the week.
