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

Fantastic way to slow down a fast eater. My lab mix has been using this for 9 months and the feeder is still in good condtion in spite of being chewed on and tossed around when he was first learning how to use it. It took him a couple months to perfect his technique, but he still has to work at it to get the last few pieces out. It's great for small or medium size kibble, but large kibble can be too big for the holes. The food container is easy to take apart and reassemble for cleaning. I highly recommend this to make your dog's meals enriching and entertaining for all.

The dog finds it fun if, we put his favorite treats in it. The cat loves it when she is bored. The dog likes steeling the cat treats, so we found a treat they can share, which the dog leaves alone. Overall it's a good boredom buster for 2 out of 3 pets.It's well made. The directions on training our pets to use it was useful and clear.I am pleased and would suggest it to others.

I have a 15 pound small dog with lots of energy. We have gotten many dog puzzles fromOutward hound (own at least 4 of them).The challenge slider: This one is less sturdy than the others. The second time my dog used it and she broke out the pieces and I had to put them all back in together. Not sure how it will hold up in the future. She’s done it now about four times and only broke out the pieces once. I will say my dog is not physically aggressive she did scratch at it to make the pieces move but I don’t feel that she is a very aggressive and her approach on these puzzles she’s not a chew her either. I will say that her nails weren’t groomed at the time so perhaps that led to her getting grip to be able to like rip them upwards and out. Overall I’ve been very happy with the outward hound puzzle products. I like how quick and easy this one was to load compared to some of the others. You can pull out the tray and fill all the treats at one time. Not sure I would buy again just because I have some questions on sturdiness. As far as engaging her, it definitely does the job.The brick:This one is a favorite and my dog has mastered it. She just did it 20 times. I will set the little door flops have separated several times and I’ve clicked them back in okay. Wondered if it will hold up in the future. But it was worth the money.The casino:This is another favorite. I find that I have to lock every other one still even after like 10 times. Or she gets too frustrated. I do like that option that I can slowly lock more and more of them I find if I like them all she just gives up after a while at this point. I would recommend.The twister:That’s why I’m struggling on how to teach my dog to twist the bones to get them to be recessed to get the drawers pulled out. She pulls the drawers out fine if I leave them in the unlocked position. Not sure how this one’s gonna end up working out. She loses interest because she can’t get the doors to open and I’m struggling again to teach her how to twist the bones around. It’s just not clicking. Would not buy again.The treat tumble small:I recommend this one. I do it when she kinda is driving me crazy and I’ll just put her food in it for the day and make her work a little for it.

I have bought many of this brand of dog puzzles for my dogs. I decided to get this as a gift for someone that had a new hyper energy dog and told her that this might be for the dog but the joy in watching the dog figure it out would be a gift for her, then when she needs a good enrichment toy to get her dog's energy down a few notches she would remember the joy of the gift again. This is a starter level puzzle toy for dogs, but I still use this one alongside the harder ones for mine as it is a favorite. They love this one. It is very durable and has lasted for years. It isn't noisy to use it, cleans up easily, and they do have to figure it out and work through it even after they learn. I highly recommend this as a gift to your dog or as a gift that will bring a lot of joy and happines to a dog and their human.

The media could not be loaded. I’ve bought my baby several puzzle feeders and food toys. This is one of his favorites, I think because it provides pretty random/intermittent reinforcement - as you can see in the video, sometimes a lot spews out like fireworks and sometimes very little comes out (depending on the force he spins it with and the amount of kibble in there). It also has held up well over the past several months. Another one similar to this had legs and bolts to adjust the height and in my Aussie’s puppy-velociraptor phase, he chewed it up (it still worked fine but looked pretty ratty). This one has bothering interesting to chew other than the food it disperses. It is also easier and quicker to fill than the kind of puzzle feeders with multiple slots, so it’s great for when you’re low on time and want your pup to be busy while you leave to go to work or other things.My Aussie actually prefers to eat from puzzle feeders, toys, or in training sessions opposed to kibble just in a bowl or slow feeder (how boring!)Even one of our cats sometimes sneaks over and paws at it to get some of his kibble when he’s not around.
