Nina shares how her puzzle products help dogs stay mentally stimulated, reduce boredom, and improve overall behavior through problem-solving and enrichment activities. She explains the science behind dog puzzles, slow feeders, and interactive feeding systems, while discussing how different breeds respond to mental challenges and why “all dogs need a job.” The conversation also explores the evolution of the pet industry, the increasing demand for enrichment products, and how Nina turned a simple idea inspired by her own dogs into a globally recognized business after more than 35 years of innovation. Along the way, they discuss hunting instincts, pet wellness, puzzle games for cats and even zoo animals, and how mental stimulation can aid injured or recovering dogs. Whether you’re a dog owner curious about enrichment or simply interested in modern pet care trends, this episode offers a fun and insightful look into the world of canine puzzles and behavior.
