Outward Hound Nina Ottosson Interactive Dog Toys - Medium Level 2 - Dog Puzzle Toys & Treat Dispenser for Boredom Relief, Mental Stimulation Enrichment - Reduces Anxiety, Engages Smart Dogs

This is excellent quality, and my dog loves it. It’s a good way to keep his mind active and get him working a little harder for his food. Easy to take apart and clean.

Product itself is fine, its great for our 2 golden retrievers and keeps them busy. My onlyComplaint would be the ease of cleaning it. We used peanut butter and it’s been impossible to get off. Perhaps a certain brush to accompany the product for efficient cleaning

Our dog is a little bit of a weirdo. For some reason he just loves to pull on tails, ears and fluff on plushies. And hs loves these flipping chipmunks! We've had this since October and in spite of the small size of the chipmunks and his rampage of plushie destruction, it's taken 3 months to lose the first one to disembowellment!He even enjoys the toy as a puzzle when we set it up (but when I'm working away, my partner often forgets/can't be bothered), although it doesn't take him long to get all the goodies out.Sturdiness and longevity not given 5 stars because he still managed to destroy a couple of the chipmunks in 3 months, but honestly I still rate thsi toy for the entertainment value its had!

1) Product specification. Bought the green, circular toy with sliding cups and fishtails and a rotating central disc to cover the holes. Packaging says that you can lock the disc with the fishtails, but... you can't - it still spins freely with the fishtails in any position - but you can lock it if you leave a cup inside the one notch on the disc. So maybe that's what they meant, otherwise, the product isn't being manufactured to proper specifications!2) Robustness. Dog is a border collie, so I bought this one even though we haven't tried any of the other puzzles, because reviews said collies solved those within minutes (which I'd expect... they're very clever dogs). Possibly I over-estimated his skill, but he isn't stupid, he just knows that if I let him, he could lever the central disc off with his teeth and get at the treats that way... So you definitely should not leave your dog alone with this puzzle for even a second! Also it wouldn't be great as a training tool, because if your dog isn't already obedient to being called off, it will wreck it within seconds. But it's a nice little diversion.3) Treat extraction. I used very small treats at first (because I don't want to overfeed him) but he discovered immediately that he can curl his tongue right under the edge of the disc and extract them that way, which would be the same for peanut butter, so I advise that it works better with larger treats! Also don't use little flat disc treats because they can get stuck in the groove that runs around below the disc and require extraction with a spoon handle.4) Puzzle solution. Putting treats under the cups so they have to be slid over the holes works well, although I'm not sure if he's actually worked that out or it just happens naturally as he snuffles for the treats. The fishtails are free-spinning at all points but do need to be moved out of the way to uncover the outer treat holes, so they add a little extra challenge. Turning the central disc is so far proving a major challenge. It's a little stiff, and he wants to use his nose and tongue rather than his paws, so I think that might be causing some of the trouble, but he also clearly doesn't understand what he has to do - yet. I'm hopeful we'll get there eventually though, and at least it means he hasn't solved the whole puzzle at once!Overall, the puzzle is well made (apart from the odd inability to lock the central wheel the way it describes) and sturdy, except that the average dog's jaws can get through marrowbones, so 'sturdy' does not equate to 'indestructible' and (I repeat) you really must not leave your dog alone with this, like the packaging warns. It's a bit of a faff to wash clean, because of all the sliding parts, but it does rinse and drain well.Dog loves it - well, he loves finding the treats - to be honest I think he'd have just as much fun, and use about as much brainpower, hunting for treats under upturned cups like in the 'find the lady' street hustler trick, so whether we've wasted our money remains to be seen; if he can just work out what's required to move that central wheel! (To be fair to my dog, he is medicated for epilepsy and probably stoned out of his gourd half the time, which doesn't help.) So it's not a terrible product... but I'm less satisfied with it than I'd hoped. I think I should probably use it daily to help him learn. You could use it more often if your dog eats kibble (just use some of his daily food ration) but mine has rice for dietary purposes so kibble is out.

Bought this for our middle aged akita who recently lost his doggie partner and we thought he needed extra stimulation. I didn't read instructions initially and put the whole puzzle down for him, complete with middle bone bricks and he struggled. I removed those and it really helped him but it took him a while to work around it finding all the treats. Now he just goes for it, knocking the bone bricks out of the way so focused on getting the treats. The little boxes with lids have hinges so the lids come off but don't break. I'm so impressed by the durability of it and it has made Aslan's life s much more interesting - he loves it.

My Retriever loves this, and it brings a big smile to my face. It gives a good challenge, and it’s a joy to see my dog’s brain working as he works it out. She worked out the bones today. Would highly recommend

The quality of the product is good, not very difficult to clean and can hold a decent amount of food, but the puzzle is just too easy. It can’t keep my dog occupied for longer than 5 minutes

This game is better than no game for sure, however it was easy for the dogs, possibly to easy for the dogs, however again this would depend on ones dogs interlect of how easy it is or not, regardless the game was kept yet the other game that was bought is harder so that one gets more use.

I rescued my little 15 month old cockapoo about 6 weeks ago. I thought this toy would be a good way to keep him mentally stimulated but I worried about it being in the advanced category. I shouldn't have - he absolutely loves this toy and after about a week had totally mastered it. At first he was just frantically pawing at it and it took him a long time to retrieve the treats but now he actually knows how to move the squares fairly gently with his paws and he gets to all the treats pretty quickly. I'm wondering what is available out there that would be even more challenging to him. This toy is well made and sturdy enough that it will last a long time.

Excelente calidad, excelente producto. Super fácil de desarmar y lavar. No es tan complicado que mi schnauzer necesite asistencia, pero si le sirve perfecto para comer lento. Le pongo una croqueta por casilla, jeje.

The media could not be loaded.  This is a great game for my dog. I put her regular kibble mixed with a few treats in it and she enjoys it. She will push it around a bit after eating, but it's very sturdy and she can't turn it over.It comes apart so it's easy to clean, hand wash only.

The media could not be loaded.  Very high quality. The plastic is nice and thick. Keeps my dog entertained for a while, but he kind of figured it out eventually through pawing at it constantly. Thought the only way to get the treat was to pull on the white handles to unlock the teal lids and be able to slide them. I guess my pup is smarter than I am because he figured out that the lid pops off too. I didn’t even realize that the lid pops off.

Ordered two puppy puzzles and am very pleased with both. Quality is very good
