Ethical Pet Seek-A-Treat Shuffle Bone Puzzle Dog Toy

This toy was better than the first toy I bought as it challenged my puppy a little longer. It was great to see how she first sniffed and used her nose to move the knobs. On subsequent tries she also used her paws and had to soften her touch to get it just right. It still does not provide more than 5 minutes of engagement though. I'm looking for a toy that can be manipulated to increase the difficulty.

Our 9 week old goldendoodle pup loved this toy. Unfortunately, she pooped in her playpen and managed to get it all over herself and the toy. The toy is made out of a soft wood material and once the poop was on the toy, we simply could not get the stains off, and I didn't want to let her use it again until I knew it was clean. So soaked it in a little bit of soap and water, and the toy swelled up so much that even a few days later, the puzzle parts of the toy still wouldn't move any more. It was a total bust and we had to throw the toy away. Two stars instead of 1 because I would buy another one if it was sold in a material that could survive being cleaned.

I made sure to use extremely fragrant and tasty treats the very first time - and although she never used her paw she did accomplish the task with her nose and at times her mouth. The first time frustrated her and now, a week later, she can clear every hidden treat in less than 5 minutes - and when I pick this up to fill it her excitement level is overwhelmingly enthusiastic

It was a bit bigger than I thought it might be. However, once our Lhasa understood what the task was, she went at it, and gets better every time. She doesn't play with toys or balls (she was a rescue; I shudder to think what may have happened to her in her former life), but I've now been able to use this to teach her to stay and wait. It's been great fun to watch her.

My dog luvs this toy for finding her treats. It is a good distraction tool. My dog was almost 5 months when purchased and found this engaging but it was a little easy for her to do. She systematically uncovered every hole to find her treats while sniffing them out with first use. I did not have to explain the toy to her. I only put it out occasionally since she does not get treats every day. I also break her treats into small pieces when I place them in the shuffle bone.

I got this to keep my dog from being bored and it works great. he sniffs out the hidden treats and figures out that he has to move the pieces to get to the treats. I wish it were made out of something less easy to chew though, because if it's a little stuck in place, he chews at the piece to try to move it off the treat.

My 4 month old pup chewed/peeled the particle board in a matter of moments. She was not even trying to, it just peels very easily. The concept is great but should be made of plastic or something more durable for a dog, especially a puppy who could ingest the loose pieces easily.

My dog absolutely loved this toy but it is not real wood and pieces were coming off of it with the first use. This item should be more durable if a dog is expected to slide the pieces. I already had to discontinue use because I was afraid she might ingest pieces.

This toy was fun in the beginning, but my dog started to chew the little circles off in order to get the treats. I recommend that pet owners supervise their pets while playing with this toy! My dog seemed to have a lot of fun though. :)

We have a big dog and he likes this game a lot. It doesn't last too long, but it is still an entertaining way for him to finish the last few bits of his kibble dinner. I have seen it work with a little dog too so it seems to be good for all sizes.
