Great toy to entertain and stimulate your dog
I love this toy and so does my dog. She’s a very smart dog, being a terrier, which tends to be a very intelligent breed. It’s hard to find toys that she doesn’t figure out within the first 5 minutes. This one kept her entertained, interested and mentally stimulated. The first time she used it, I actually had to help her a little bit by showing her the different ways that the doors slide. For the first three or four days I would fill it and sit it out for her to play with. Those first few days it took her anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes to get to all the treats. As time went on she was able to get to her treats more quickly. The good thing about this toy is that there are a lot of sliding doors covering the many treat slots and because of that, the puzzle is never solved the same way. There are so many different ways for your dog to solve the puzzle that your dog will never get bored with it. The downside of this puzzle is that it is not for large dogs with strong jaws. I dogsit for a black labrador retriever who I left alone with the puzzle while I went to another room to do some chores. When I returned, 15 minutes later, instead of solving the puzzle the lab had completely ripped the doors off of the puzzle and chewed various parts of the puzzle handles and sides. The puzzle was completely destroyed beyond repair. So if you are going to purchase this for a dog with strong Jaws/A strong chewer, I would recommend that you supervise the dog the entire time. I may even recommend against purchasing this for dogs with strong jaws because I don’t think it will hold up. Bottom line this is a great quality dog puzzle that performs as the manufacturer advertises.

Fun Quality Dog Puzzle toy!! ð¶
Well made durable dog toy puzzle. Got this for my new dog and she likes it a lot. Figured it out quickly. Easy to clean. You can use kibble, treats or even put some peanut butter in and freeze for a bit. Only downside is then my dog wants to play with all the loose âboneâ covers – but I just have to get them quickly.

It’s good.
Pros:Keeps my dog busy for a bit.Makes him actually work for his treats.Cons:I had to tape down the little orange lock bits because when he would push the puzzle it would shift them.His brain doesn’t always work so well (or maybe it does) because he figured out if he scratches at it he can pull some of the pieces off.

Ruby loves this
I got this for my 4 month Yorkie. At first I didn’t think she would be able to get to her food because she is so little. The first 3 times I put the bones so they weren’t all the way on. By the 4th time she was figuring it out and now she is a pro. I feed her all her meals in it and it keeps her from eating so fast. She has fun doing the puzzle too. Love thos product! I got it half price and it was so worth it!!! â¤ï¸

After six months of light use, attachment moving parts broke off
I purchased this Outward Hound dog puzzle about six months ago. I have a large intelligent energetic male Doberman who loved this puzzle. I sit and watch him play the puzzle and take up the puzzle the minute that he is finished. I gave him the puzzle maybe once a week. Parts that move on the puzzle began to break off at their attachment points at around five months of use. Finally the main movement piece snapped off where it attaches to the frame. These moveable parts simply snap into place. I looked on Amazonâs website to see if there is a possibility of buying replacement parts but the company says no. Itâs a great puzzle and he loves the puzzle but now it has to go in the trash. Six months is not very long for this item to last. This great concept needs to be re-designed and manufactured to make the moveable parts not breakable.

Boredom Relief / Mental Exercise
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 toysDurable But requires training to prevent dogs from chewing the pieces upLightweightEasy to set upCons:Noisy if your dog manhandles itMoves all over the floorSlobber can make the pieces difficult to handle (or just gross)Takes a little time to set upSupervision neededVideo is the boy on his 3rd attempt. He has a listening problem – he can’t hear “sit” when he doesn’t want to. 😀 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.

O produto é ótimo, já conheço a marca e tenho outros tabuleiros para meu pet. Demorou muito para ser enviado, achava que tinha caÃdo em golpe, mas chegou certinho e embalado, recomendo e compraria novamente.

My 2 pitbulls were very curious. One of them would not give up on it and the other one found it too hard and eventually lost interest if I didn’t help out. Its durable but mind you my dogs are not ones to chew on things I dont allow so I made it clear no chewing. Functions amazing but might be too hard as mention, so easy them into it. Cleaning can be a bit of a pain of a pain depending what you put on it, but I soak it then scrub with an old brush and its like new.

A qualidade é ótima e vale o preço. O brinquedo é bastante resistente, aguenta bem mordidas e arranhões. Tem uma forma mais fácil e outra mais difÃcil, depende do lado que encaixa a parte branca, na caixa vem explicando com imagens. Ajudou muito minha cachorrinha que não gostava de brincar com nada, mas com esse brinquedo ela animou e exercitou a mente. Não é muito difÃcil, então evita frustrações.
