Off the Beaten Buy: Dog Casino Interactive Game

In the Dog Casino interactive game, available at Lucky Dog Outfitters, 1411 W. 23rd St., dogs must dislodge the removable bone on top of the contraption to pull out a side drawer that contains a few treats as their reward.

It’s not exactly dogs playing poker, but now dogs have the opportunity to try their hand (or paw, rather) at a little gambling.

In this Dog Casino interactive game, your dog must dislodge the removable bone on top of the contraption to pull out a side drawer that contains a few treats as their reward.

The first few times, keep the drawers partly open so your dog can smell and/or see the treat and push it open with its nose or paw. Continue to increase intensity by closing the drawers entirely without pegs in place, and then at its hardest level, locking them closed with the pegs.
