TRIXIEMove-2-Win, Level 3, blue and white (32025)

Fantastic toy! As mentioned in other puzzle toy reviews, I have a Belgian Shepherd who is too smart for his own good. As often as I can I buy puzzles and things that really get him thinking, and he loves them. I've been eyeing Move 2 Win for quite some time (as well as the other Trixie toys) and when it went on sale I had to jump. Worth the price and worth the wait! Unlike the plastic puzzle toys I've bought before, the plastic on this puzzle is thick and extremely durable. The size of the pegs and slots are also large enough for a shepherd to use the toy and me not worry he'll choke on them or break them trying to solve it. Even better, the pegs and drawers are entirely removable and washable! I love his other puzzles he's had since puppyhood, but they get pretty slimy and saniwipes don't always get in places perfectly.The puzzle itself is surprisingly difficult with a simple concept: push the lever in four directions to push out the drawers, remove the pegs, and pull out the drawers they're holding in place. A toy of this complexity is about what you would give to a human toddler, say three or four years old. When you think about it, that's a pretty tough puzzle and really impressive. That said, don't expect your dog to solve it the first time or without help. Really, puzzles should be demonstrated to the dogs and some help given until they get the idea, and with the Trixie puzzles it helps if your dog has already solved level 1 and 2 puzzles before. This one builds on the puzzle that uses drawer pulls, and the one that introduces the lever, so if they've solved either one before, this will be easier. Sariel doesn't have them, so it was an entirely new concept for him. Typically he solves puzzles alone the first time in about a minute or less, and this was the first time he's actually needed my help. The pegs and drawers were easier to figure out and it was the lever that confused him a bit. It'll take another time or two showing him and he'll have this one down no problem.Overall I'm totally impressed and look forward to buying more of the Trixie toys. I would give a quick word of warning, though. With a lot of puzzles I find reviews from people saying they left their dogs with it and found the toy destroyed in seconds. Things like this are meant to be bonding and training experiences, not babysitters. Even though it's really sturdy, always supervise your dog with puzzles and toys made with hard plastic like this.

The media could not be loaded. This is level 3, we started at level 2 before this ! I was a little worried about it being lightweight especially on wood floors but then I realized that makes it even more of a challenge for him which “challenge” is pretty much the point of the game. Those 2 factors did not prove too difficult whatsoever and the price for these is incredibly low “comparatively to some competitors! Highly recommended as I am about to buy our third (level 4) if even available. I’m not sure how high the levels go. Goldendoodles are extremely smart I would recommend starting on level 2 as he had zero problems starting ther and honestly he figured both these out on 2nd try but still loves and is extremely stimulated. Make sure to play when hungry and WITH dog. GREAT PRICE/PRODUCT 💥

What my dog has learned from this toy. I purchased Trixie Move 2 Win Level 3 for my 5 month old Havanese puppy. It arrived with the box crushed but surprisingly even the pieces sticking out of the packing are just fine. Charlie is confined to the kitchen and laundry but i can see him from my favorite chair. First time with the toy he retrieved all treats in 5 minutes. He can now empty it in 1. His methods are not necessarily what Trixie had in mind. He loves to slide the drawers around the floor and has learned that they fit nicely under the stove. He barks when they are all stuck under there. There is a wooden trash container in the room that has a small drawer at the bottom to hold trash bags. I watched him figure out that it worked just like the little red drawers in his toy. The trash bags are now in the pantry. Fortunately the kitchen drawers are too heavy for him pull out because he tried those next. He is also fond of banging the parts together to create various sounds. I keep earplugs by my chair for those times. Beware of the rubber things on the bottom. He got those out in five minutes and they are small enough choke on.

The media could not be loaded. Our 22-pound, 9-month-old, Yorkie/schnauzer puppy Moseley loves puzzles and needs challenging mental stimulation or he quickly becomes bored and causes mischief. We've been feeding him lunch daily in the PetSafe Busy Buddy Tug-A-Jug Meal Dispensing Dog Toy, Medium/Large, which he LOVES, though it mostly involves doing the same thing repeatedly to get food out. We also occasionally feed him dinner in a multi-step puzzle toy or a slow feeder bowl, so we bought this product for variety.Though he figured out how to get all the food out of this level 3 puzzle in about 10-15 minutes the first time he tried it, he definitely enjoyed the process of solving the puzzle. Tonight we tried it again, and he completed the puzzle to get all his food in just over 5 minutes, but he was loving every minute of it, as the video shows. (NOTE: he eats small bites, so his food actually fits in the small drawers of this toy; dogs who eat normal kibble would probably need to use this for treat-finding training instead.)This isn't the most challenging puzzle we have, but it involves enough different actions and steps to keep our puppy actively engaged and interested while he eats his meal. The product is made of a solid matte plastic that has a nice, upscale feel to it and I didn't see any markings on it from teeth or paws after our first two uses, though I wouldn't allow my dog to use it unsupervised or chew on the pieces. I was happy enough with this product that I plan to buy another level 3 puzzle from the same company, Trixie Chess Game, Level 3, and use them together once he's perfected each of them to make a more challenging puzzle that only has food in some of the compartments.
