This is larger than expected, which is nice. The pieces are loose enough for even small dogs to move. Though sometimes I wish they were not that easy to move. It keeps my dog entertained while he tries to get food and treats out of it and I go make dinner for the humans. While he did figure out what to do after the first day, it still works because it slows him down. He's not a fast eater, but sometimes I just need to keep him busy in his play pen while I do other stuff. Yes, dogs will figure this out and do it much faster after a day or two. But still worth using it. This way, he isn't as bored as if he had nothing to do. Even humans like playing games (usually on their phones) even This is larger than expected, which is nice.

Okay I don’t want to admit it but I did not think my dogs would be smart enough to figure this out. I have 2 frenchies and a Saint Bernard (huge size difference) and all 3 LOVE this. It is so fun to watch them. Every once in a while my male Frenchie gets frustrated and just barks at it and my Saint drools all over it which makes it harder for the frenchies hahaha! I use the Stella & Chewy freeze dried treats. My friend recommended them bc she has a dog that suffers from seizures and her neurologist said she needs more mental stimulation when she can’t get exercise and this has worked well for her too! Buy it now! Your pets/babies will surprise you!

This is a very sturdy puzzle which is why I gave it the one star. Other wise, my dog popped of the swing tag within 45 seconds of her playing with it. She moved the sliders about with in about 30 seconds and had the entire thing empty in under 2 mins. Other then this being a heavy toy, I would not recommend this to anyone. I have many puzzles for my hound and this didn't even cause her to take pause. Wish I had the box to return.

This is my dog's first puzzle. While he solved it really quickly (under <1 min) his first try, we now use it to give him his daily joint treats and some kibble before the rest of his breakfast and he really seems to love the short challenge. The box suggested freezing some treats into it, and he loved that too.

The toy/puzzle is well made, sits solidly on the floor, and moving parts do just that - move smoothly. However, my puppy was immediately able to open each compartment as if she’d been doing it her entire eating life! She likes the puzzle and would rather eat her meal from it than from her bowl (would require multiple fillings), but she completes it faster than she eats from a regular bowl! She’s half Border Collie but I don’t think it takes a doggy genius to figure out where (and how) the treats are hidden.

This was our 8 month old puppy's first interactive toy and it was fun to watch her find the treats. Yea, she was quick to solve it but, my opinion, it shouldn't be too hard. It's supposed to be fun. This product is durable and we haven't had any problems with it.

This is a sturdy puzzle and more complicated. Our 8 month old puppy really likes it. We used some wet food in a couple of the compartments even put it in the dishwasher to clean. The flippers move and the circles move so you can make it harder as they catch on to how it works. Very good puzzle and small enough to put in their crate it you use one.

This game is fun to my 3 month old puppy. I give her afternoon "snack" (some of her dog food) while playing this game. She learns, has fun, and gets a little afternoon snack all at once. My 3 year old poodle likes this game, too. He is pretty quick at completing it but he still likes it.

My 8.5 chihuahua Terrier mix loves food and enjoys solving puzzles. It prevents her from wolfing down her food. It gives us a chance to eat our own dinner because it keeps her busy. She’s a high energy dog and the mental stimulation seems to keep her energy in check. She had several level one toys and this was her second level two puzzle. She was able to solve it independently after a few times. It is a great set up for the level three dog worker puzzle.

The first time it took my 8 week old puppy less than 2 min to get all of the treats out with the puzzle set up in the harder configuration. Less time on the second setup. Dogs don't really have to figure out this puzzle to get to the treats. All they need to do is paw at it.
