How to play

  1. Pick a gate

    Your yard has four gates. Each one leads into a different garden maze, a new one every time you play.

  2. Bark!

    Lost toys squeak, quack and boing back when you bark, so you can follow your ears through the hedges.

  3. Bring them home

    Found toys follow you in a little parade. Lead them all back to your doghouse and they tumble inside.

See it in action

Twenty seconds of hats, barks, bounces and one very sneaky cat.

Lots to sniff out

Six good dogs

Play as a dachshund, chiweenie, pug, corgi, Dogo or German Shepherd. Every one of them barks, sits and wags its own way.

Very silly hats

Collect treats in the mazes and spend them at the treat shop: party hats, top hats, a propeller cap, bow ties, scarves and a royal crown.

Bouncy surprises

Boing off trampolines and toadstools to see the whole maze, or dive into a magic burrow and pop out somewhere else entirely.

A sneaky cat

Keep an eye on the hedges. A cat would love to run off with your toys, but one good bark sends it scampering.

Photo mode

Pause, pose your pup and snap a picture. Your favorite shots get pinned up on the photo board in your yard.

31 toys to collect

Every maze hides a toy you haven't found yet, from a rubber chicken to a flamingo. Fill up the toy shelf back home.

Four gardens to explore

Psst…

Dogs dream too

After a few mazes, your pup might start to look a little sleepy. Curl up in the doghouse for a nap and wake up somewhere very soft, with quilts for walls and pillows everywhere.

Someone else is dreaming there too.
