  • Challenging puzzle!
Color: Multipuzzle (Green)
Very challenging and keeps my dog busy for about an hour. It's much bigger than I thought it would be, but it is good quality.

  • Stands up to “Pupasaurus Rex”!
Color: Dog Casino (Blue, Orange)
My Corgi blew through this puzzle in about 2 minutes but that’s pretty good. She mostly uses “brute force” to get the treats. She paws, pummels, and chews her way to the treats. It’s not very elegant or thoughtful but it does keep her busy and she loves it. I am impressed with how well the toy has held up! Other puzzle toys have been chewed to bits relatively quickly but not this one, there’s not a mark on it. I like that all the moving bits are not removable, this is good because the white “bone” pieces are quite small. I think this might not be for a dog who could pry them off, could be a choking hazard. However, my pup is pretty good at chewing up almost anything (antlers, bones, plastic, rocks…) and she has not torn them off. The “bones” are on pretty tight and they are attached with something stretchy so you can lift and turn them to lock and unlock the drawers. They were kinda hard for me to lift up and lock. There’s no gap or purchase to get them up but I have pretty strong fingernails so I was able to do it. I think a butter knife used as leverage might be wise. Pulling on the bones themselves was a no go because they were too slippery. I think the drawers are removable but my pup did not get them out and it’s no big deal if she did. It is dishwasher safe and both myself and pup are happy with the purchase. ... show more

  • Very Entertaining!
Color: Multipuzzle (Green)
The media could not be loaded. My lab got so mad with this thing! I now have 3 puzzle toys for my dogs so they each can be working on one at the same time. They're pretty smart, and figured out the first two rather quickly. So I bought this one to give them more of a challenge. My younger dog was at it for awhile and didn't end up figuring the center part or the slides out. My lab just got frustrated and lost interest. She went for the younger dogs puzzle and I had to keep returning her attention to her board. She ended up pawing at the outer pieces and knocked one off. NP. I was able to pop it back into place. When she was done, she still had treats hidden inside. NBD. We'll work on it. At least it served it's purpose and got her engaged. It also kept me entertained! Definitely work up into making it more challenging for your pup. Even if they advance through lower level puzzles pretty quickly like mine do. One thing I will say about this one: I do wish that the boarder compartments were different. Some of them move across multiple squares. As the dogs are moving things around, the treats tend to get stuck in spots on the board where they can’t be fished back out. When I went to set up the board for my lab, I realized there were some cranberries that had gotten stuck in one spot that made them difficult to remove. Tilting didn't work and I couldn't grab them with my fingers, either. Ended up grabbing them out with a pair of kitchen shears lol. ... show more

  • Boredom Relief / Mental Exercise
Color: Dog Smart (Orange)
The media could not be loaded. So many are complaining that the bones got chewed up. That's because the dog has to be taught that the bone isn't the prize, the item held within is. They don't reason like we do and anything to a dog is a chewable item. I made the same mistake with my 8-yr old hyper-but-uber-smart Spitz / Husky mix. When he was a puppy I didn't know even a portion of what I do now and he tore up a great number of toys as a result. I'm starting fresh with a new pound puppy. My 10-month old took off with the bones initially and tried to chew them. I removed them from her and redirected her to the real treasure. After the 2nd round of training she started ignoring the bones and going for the real treat. She now takes her meals in this or her Kong Wobbler. I still have to watch because as I was typing this she finished the game and got bored waiting for me so proceeded to chew up one of the bones. The 8-yr old owned this in no time. His first time with it he put his paw on the center to hold it in place, then picked up the bones, tossed them to the side and reaped his rewards. He was considerably more slobbery than the girl, so do be aware that these things can get slimed. I'm using other toys with him due to the goo factor, and to offer him more of a challenge since this was far too easy for him. This has been a great relief for boredom for the 10-month old. She cracked her foot on our patio when the two dogs were running full speed ahead in the yard, resulting in a toe fracture. I am to keep this puppy on limited activity for 4 - 6 weeks so I'm learning all sorts of new tricks to keep her mind active to make up for the lack of physical exertion. Now that she's able to put weight on the foot this toy, the Kong Wobbler, and a plush toy with holes to pull smaller plushes from are helping me do just that. Pros: Good introduction to puzzle toys Durable But requires training to prevent dogs from chewing the pieces up Lightweight Easy to set up Cons: Noisy if your dog manhandles it Moves all over the floor Slobber can make the pieces difficult to handle (or just gross) Takes a little time to set up Supervision needed Video is the boy on his 3rd attempt. He has a listening problem - he can't hear "sit" when he doesn't want to. :D I have to send him to the crate because he has resource guarding issues I've never been successful at training out of him so to keep things civil I send him away from the game before I refill. If that one piece hadn't escaped, breaking his concentration, he would have finished up pretty darn quick. The girl is less elegant in her execution. ... show more

  • Comes apart too easily
Color: Multipuzzle (Green)
It certainly keeps my dog busy but he's learned that it's very easy to just pull the pieces off the board than to slide them around. They just pop right up. Bit of a pain to get that back together again, but it keeps him occupied so I guess it works? Good enough lol

Color: Dog Smart (Orange)
This week I purchased the Outward Hound Dog Smart Treat Puzzle Enrichment Toy Level 1 for my 60 pound 4 year old German Shepherd dog. My dog is familiar with these types of puzzles as we have purchased Outward Hound Dog puzzles in the past. My husband has to show the dog how to do the puzzle first because even though she is a smart dog she still isn’t the best with these types of puzzles. Once the dog is shown how to solve the puzzle the dog is able to be “left alone” to work on the puzzle by herself. Level 1 was just challenging enough for her to not completely tear through it in under a minute. It took her maybe 2 minutes to finish off. These puzzles are well constructed and a good value for the expense and we will definitely be purchasing more in the future. This purchase was a success and we will re-use the puzzle again in the future. ... show more
