Nina Ottosson by Outward Hound Puzzle Dog Toy - Stimulate Your Pup's Mind & Keep Them Entertained!

Emma Donnelly: We mostly use this as a slow feeder, not as a puzzle. Holds a little over a cup of large sized kibble. Keeps our dogs entertained for about 20 minutes.

こうしてペットに散財するのね。。。っと買って良かったお品物でした。

E Benedict: I got this for my 7 y/o rescue dog who doesn't know how to play so I was hoping to get him some sort of mental stimulation to cope with his anxiety. He has low frustration tolerance and tends to give up on something if he can't figure it out, treats be damned. He did seem to get very into this the first 1-2 times I used it and went crazy pawing at it to get the treats out. However, he quickly got bored of it and now wants nothing to do with it - go figure. That's entirely a "him" problem though, so I would definitely recommend giving this a try! It is super super easy and straightforward though so only get it if your dog is beginner level. My only "complaint" is just that it doesn't store well because the pieces are loose and it's pretty large, but that's not a deal breaker in any way.

Renee: A mi perro le encantó, tenía miedo que no le fuera a entender pero sí, está diseñado muy bien y los estimula mentalmente de una forma divertida y fácil. El material tambien me gustó, está resistente, mi perro es pequeño, como de 10kg.

MSS: My 10 year old GSD needed help with this only the first time. I now give both his meals in this, it works as a slow feeder, gives him a challenge, makes him more self confident, too. If I leave him with this when I leave home, his anxiety seems much lower. It takes him less than 10 mins to find all the kibble or treats and is relaxed and exhausted after it. He’s learnt to use his nose, paws and teeth to find and reach all the treats. His “hand-eye” coordination has improved significantly. Planning to go for difficulty level 4 once he’s aced this. The quality is the same as a child’s toy, they haven’t compromised on the material. The design is done keeping in mind a dog’s instincts and challenging their capabilities appropriately. Gna be using these games for all future dogs. Size and difficulty is correct for dogs of any kind or age.

Ash: I have four dogs ranging from 15 to 140 pounds, and all of them can easily use this toy. It is much larger than I expected, but it moves easily enough that my smallest dog, who is 15 and blind but still very active, can still use it. Even if my little guy couldn't use it, it's difficult to find food toys big enough for my Saint Bernard to use safely, and this one fits the bill, so that's a big bonus!

It holds quite a bit of food and the rubberized bottom is a blessing for my sanity (and my tile/hardwood floors. I say it's good for *active* dogs because not only does this toy require the dog to use their brain to get the food out, they also have to move their body around to find the food that spins out. I know most dogs will just bop it around and the food will fall out close by, but for dogs like my pit bull who must smash everything as hard as possible, flinging food everywhere in the process, this thing holds up and provides a good all around outlet for mental and physical energy.

My only complaint is that the door just sort of sits in there, held in place by a few tabs rotated about a quarter of a turn, making it easy for a pawsy dog like my pit bull to open it...

Sal: I got this to keep my puppy busy, interested, and mainly mentally busy and tired so she would not want to chew us or other things.
I got intermediate level, already overestimating my 12-week puppy's capabilities. As usual, the Amazon package arrived swiftly but it was without a brown Amazon box. I read the new policy/ change to save waste (which I support). But it has no plastic warp on the inside product itself, which got me suspicious of being a used product, but gave it a rinse and wipe and gave treats to my pup inside. She saw it and was very excited. I don't know for what but she was excited and somewhat expecting what it is. I gave them treats inside and covered all the pockets and she solved and ate all in an instant. Either my cutest puppy is too smart or this product is TOO SIMPLE. I will go the latter as I have seen her chasing her tail and tripping over her own foot.
Pros:
1. Sturdy and well-built product. Size is good.
2. The material seems safe and sturdy. The colors are nice to keep the dog/ pup interested
3. doesn't skid much on the floor
4. The flat bottom prevent dog from carrying and swig it around

Cons:
1. Just too easy to solve....

ElunoraElunora: I have 3 dogs in my house that I think encompass the range of play that this toy brings.

The husky is a five-year-old dog who used this toy exactly like you expected. Once we showed him the sliding pieces and how the locks worked he fully enjoyed and worked the toy as intended.

One-year-old Aussie pup who was not - I'm going to say compatible - with this toy. We did the same instructions as with the husky, but other than the 'freebie' he only opened one other. He ended up just sitting next to it and guarding it against the other dogs.

We tried only locking every other lock. We tried unlocking every single one - he still didn't 'get' it.

The odd thing about this though, is we have harder mental toys than this one and he can complete those. A lot more slots with a lot more 'must do x,y,z to get 1,2,3' which I found interesting.

The last is our 7-year-old Aussie. This one...this one we nicknamed Hulk because he just brute forces everything. He starts by scratching the top of the toy to force open everything. He then will take a white lock in his mouth and pick it up so it is hanging vertically. This is where he worked the system.

If he...

Sam Baxter: This thing is great. Our dog is pretty clever so he usually works it out fast but it takes him a good ten minutes and slows down his eating!
