Exercise Your Dog's Brain with the Dog Tornado

We know our dogs need routine physical exercise. What about mental workouts? We train our dogs and interact with them, providing lots of mental stimulation, but there is another kind of activity for your dog.

The Dog Tornado is part toy, part brain exercise equipment and part reward. This interactive toy designed by Nina Ottosson puts a refreshing "spin" on dog toys. Pun intended. The Dog Tornado is made of plastic bone-shaped tiers that have compartments for food. The dog must turn the levels to access the food.

I tried out the Dog Tornado on my own dog, a food maniac with tons of energy. See what she thought about it and you may decide to get one for your own dog.
