Outward Hound by Nina Ottosson Dog Hide N' Slide Treat Puzzle Enrichment Toy, Level 2 Intermediate, Tan, Composite

Our 9 week old Bernese Mt Dog loves this enrichment activity. Great for her sniffing, seek and find, and lots of mental stimulation. It’s flexible enough that we can vary the way she has to find the rewards. Please note I do not recommend letting pup use this unsupervised. They can pull the flaps off (which is totally fine) but puppy shark teeth could end up making the flaps a chew toy. That said the toy is made really well and is holding up to extensive biting. Glad we got this!!

Great puzzle for puppies and dogs. I have 2 grown dachshund and a dachshund puppy. They all love this and it gives them plenty of engagement time. They prefer meals from this over just a regular bowl.

This treat puzzle is well-made and works as advertised, but our Frenchie Charlie found it a little too easy. He's a very smart dog and had all the treats out in under 10 minutes, so it didn't provide the long-term enrichment challenge I was hoping for, but it was fun for him. The quality is solid and the puzzle mechanism works smoothly, so it's not a knock on the product itself. It would probably be perfect for dogs new to puzzle toys or less food-motivated pups. For really smart or experienced puzzle dogs like Charlie, you'll want to move up to a more advanced level pretty quickly. Still a decent toy, just know your dog's skill level before purchasing.

My dog loves this toy and it keeps her busy for awhile. It seems to be of good quality and functions really well.

My dog is a true sweetheart, but she's also a fast eater and a very aggressive chewer, so I wanted a puzzle toy that would allow her to use some of her thinking skills, along with it being sturdy enough to handle the power behind her teeth and nails. The Outward Hound Dog Tornado Treat Puzzle Dog Toy works wonderfully, providing a high Activity level and fun Playability!! Granted, although it doesn't take my dog very long to get to the treats -- I typically only place one small treat at a time in the different puzzle bins -- it still makes her have to use her smarts to get to the covered goodies. Having three layers to this puzzle makes it even greater, because the different layers rotate around without the treats just spilling out. As I mentioned before, my dog is an aggressive chewer and I caught her chewing on one of white bin covers while I was refilling the bins, so you should watch your dog the entire time they're playing with this! The puzzle can get noisy when your dog moves the layers around to get to the treats, but I expected that. The toy colors are bright and stimulating. As for the smell, I clean the empty puzzle bins, the bin tops, and all three layers of the toy after each use, because slobber is a byproduct of the play. For me, this Dog Tornado Treat Puzzle Dog Toy is far beyond a great Value for the money, because of its very low price, especially compared to some other puzzle treat toys, it’s sturdiness, and it's fun and reusability!!!

I’ve been using this puzzle since my dog was a puppy (she's 3 now), and while it has a lot of positive aspects, there are a few things that could be improved. Pros: Slows Down Mealtime: This puzzle is perfect for slowing down my dog while she eats. Instead of inhaling her food in seconds, it makes her work for her treats, which is great for digestion and mental stimulation. Keeps My Dog Entertained: My dog really enjoys solving this puzzle. It keeps her engaged for a good while, and I love that it provides a healthy outlet for her energy and curiosity. She has to figure out how to lift flaps and slide pieces to get to the food. Cons: The White "Bone" Pieces Are a Mess: I didn’t like how the little white bone-shaped pieces keep falling out of the puzzle. They just go everywhere, and after a few uses, I decided to throw them out entirely. It was more hassle than it was worth to keep them. Flaps Are Easy for My Dog to Pull Off: My dog quickly figured out how to pull off the top flaps that cover the treat compartments. While I can still use the puzzle without the flaps, it was frustrating at times when she would easily rip them off, especially during the early stages of using it. Durability Issues with Chewing: When my dog was a puppy, she chewed one of the puzzle pieces, which caused a little bit of damage. While you can still use everything, I wasn’t thrilled about the chewing. So, if you have a dog prone to chewing, be cautious about leaving them unattended with this puzzle. Takes a While to Dry: It’s great that this puzzle is dishwasher-safe, but it does take quite a while to dry completely, especially in the compartments where the treats go. You’ll need to let it sit for a bit before using it again, which is a little inconvenient when you’re in a hurry. Overall Thoughts: The Outward Hound Nina Ottosson Dog Brick Puzzle has definitely earned its place in my dog’s enrichment rotation. It’s fantastic for slowing down mealtime and providing her with some mental stimulation, which is especially important for high-energy dogs. However, the white bone pieces were a hassle, and the flaps didn’t hold up well for my dog. Still, it’s a fun and useful puzzle overall, and I’ll continue to use it in the mix with her other toys.

This is a great one for our pup, it was just hard enough that she needed to think & try different things, but not too hard to frustrate her. I learned to always monitor a bit, when they play with the puzzles, and I take it away when I'm not putting treats in it (I actually just use kibble, it's a way for her to eat some of her meals). Great fun for both of us. The puzzles come ranked in difficulty, and with each puzzle itself you can increase the difficulty (they come with instructions how to layer the difficulty). I was thinking of taking one star off, because the white bone cup shapes are inviting for the dogs to chew on: this happened to me, and also a friend. It requires monitoring & not letting them chew too much. But - these puzzles are so well made and provide great engagement for your dog, it is a 5 star product.

O tabuleiro é bem interativo, tem vários compartimentos para abrir, empurrar e tirar pecinhas. Se o seu cão for delicado, é um excelente brinquedo. Se ele for um roedor voraz de brinquedos, melhor não, há muitas peças soltas para serem roídas e engolidas.

​最初は戸惑っていましたが、おやつが入っていると分かると一生懸命スライドしたりフタを開けたりして遊んでいます。 ​単純な「転がすだけ」のタイプとは違い、「フタを開ける」「スライドさせる」「骨を外す」という3段階のステップがあるので、飽きずに長く遊べています。早食い防止にもなりますし、雨の日や外に出られない時のストレス解消にぴったりです！

Brinquedo inteligente e anti stress

Really well made and durable. Our Aussie Shepherd 3 month old puppy loves it even though he worked it all out nearly immediately. We still set it up for him even though he races through it. Very impressed with the brand and we have since purchased more difficult puzzles from the same line.

Kul grej! Men som med alla Nina Ottosson-pussel är kanterna vassa. Har man en hund som jobbar snabbt och kan bli lite ivrig kan de skära sig på underkanten av varje våning.
