Who says learning can't be fun? With the Dog Hide N' Slide Interactive Dog Toy, you can stimulate your pup's brain and have a blast at the same time! This unique, interactive toy provides hours of fun every time your dog plays with it. Just hide treats in each compartment and watch as your dog slides around the pieces to find them. The built-in pieces stay in place while durable construction helps to keep this dog toy intact, even after your dog plays again and again. Plus, the elevated play makes this game great for short-nosed dogs who can't move pieces quite as easy.

Key Benefits- Stimulate your pup with a game that makes him use his brain while he plays.
- Hide treats in each compartment and watch as your dog slides around the pieces to find them.
- Provides hours of fun and plenty of spaces to hide treats, for endless combinations!
- Built-in pieces stay in place while durable construction keeps the pieces intact.
- Elevated play makes this game great for short-nosed dogs who can't move pieces quite as easy.
Every dog plays differently and, since not all toys are created equal, it’s always best to keep a close watch on your pup in case things get ruff. Supervised play will help toys last longer and most importantly keep your pal safe. No dog toy is truly indestructible, so always remove the toy from playtime if pieces begin to break off.

About Outward Hound Puzzle Toys for Dogs
Healthy Playtime Problem Solving
Did you know that 15 minutes of mental exercise can have a similar effect on your dog’s emotional well-being as 30 minutes of physical exercise? Dogs love to explore and problem solve and will use their noses and paws as tools. Each Nina Ottoson puzzle toy game is designed with your dog’s natural behaviors, senses and safety in mind.
Reduce Unwanted Behaviors
Setting your dog to work on a puzzle or game helps focus his attention and energy. This mental redirection can help reduce boredom, anxiety and destructive behaviors, too. Try using puzzle toys to distract your dog from fireworks, thunderstorms and other stressful situations.
Four Levels of Play
All dogs are different. That’s why each treat puzzle toy was designed with a different level of difficulty—to please dogs of all skill levels, whether they are beginners or puzzle-solving pros. Start by choosing a level that suits your pup’s skill set and level up as he learns!
Level 1
Perfect for beginners, these puzzles help gain interest and prepare dogs for puzzles to come.
Level 2
Features added obstacles, requiring your dog to combine actions to retrieve each tasty reward.
Level 3
These advanced puzzles challenge your dog to complete several steps in order to reach the hidden treats.
Level 4
This is the hardest level and requires multiple steps and problem-solving skills to solve!
For Bonding and Training
Nina Ottosson puzzle games are a great way to build your relationship with a newly adopted dog or help a shy dog come out of his shell. You can also use puzzles to help train your dog and practice basic commands like “sit” and “stay”.

Immediate hit!
By Emily on Sep 11, 2021
We have 2 puppies, 1 is 60 pounds (Roy) and the other is 80 (Riza, and yes, giant puppies). Riza has recently taken to “disassembling” various things around the house so we bought at his one and Trixie level 2 (the box one). Roy loves this one. It’s easy enough for him to figure out and there’s a lot of different ways to give him a new puzzle each time. He started figuring out the pegs immediately and gradually figured out the fins. Riza also immediately understood this one, but it was maybe too easy for her. We’re considering getting the next one up with the spinner in the middle for her. She has conquered all of the puzzles, and then checked Roys work to make sure he didn’t miss any. It We have 2 puppies, 1 is 60 pounds (Roy) and the other is 80 (Riza, and yes, giant puppies).

Definitely a supervised play toy, especially with big dogs, but we didn’t feel like it was too small for them or anything. They loved it and we spent a solid 2 hours on the floor alternating between all the new puzzle toys that arrived in their chewy box today. Overall, I think if you’re not sure if your dog will like puzzles, or “my dog isn’t the best problem solver”, but seems bored & you want some more indoor things to do. I’d say give it a try. … more

Probably too easy to be labeled a tier 2 challenge
By Clarke on Sep 23, 2021
I have another Level 2 Outward Hound toy that took my dog about an hour to figure out the first time and he still gets tons of enjoyment and stimulation out of. This one takes him about five minutes and then he's trying to pull off the little fish tails because he thinks there should be more to it. I will probably give it to my dad since his dog has more trouble with the harder puzzles, but if you're thinking about buying it then you might want to be aware it'll be very easy instead of medium difficulty.

Nice quality game
By Frankie on Sep 2, 2021
If I could give this game a “1” as it relates to my dog family and a “5” for the game itself, I would. If it’s a puppies first time out great. Not for a dog who does games. To me it looked a bit more difficult, but it was VERY simple. He was disappointed, I was disappointed. He got all the treats in seconds as each challenge was the same. He usually does the easy ones on the game board first then goes back to the harder ones. He has two games from Chewy and his first one, a cupcake tin with tennis balls, I fill about 6 or 7 holes. I’m now searching for a more difficult game!

Easy for smart dogs
By Lily on Aug 25, 2021
I bought this treat puzzle hoping it would take my dog at least 15 minutes to figure out. She's 8 months old and had all the treats out in 2 minutes. I still use it, but put it under a bunch of toys so that she has to look for it, then get the treats.She slides the arrows and knobs out right away. If you are looking for a toy that will take your dog time to figure things out, this one is too easy. It's a Level 2 and I am now looking at a Level 3 toys. Is there a Level 4? I am beginning to think my dog is a genius! LOL

entertaining
By Venes on Aug 5, 2021
I got it for my puppy of 9 weeks. He is very smart and gets bored and wants someone to always play with him. I got him this puzzle hoping it would occupy him for a bit. He absolutely loves the puzzle but it’s way to easy. First time took about 20 seconds to empty and the second time about 12 seconds. He still loves it even when I use food not treats but does expect someone to refill constantly or he chews on all the little parts. He has not been able to destroy it yet but he definitely needs something more challenging.

Great toy, my dog loves it
By AlenTXdogmom on Aug 18, 2021
Our dog Coop loves this toy. He got it when he was 2 months old, and it took him 5 minutes to figure it out, but he still loves playing with it, although he is 8 months old. He is a cattle dog, Collie and German Shepard mix, very smart baby and needs stimulation. The toy is very sturdy and well made. It takes 3 steps for dog to make it to the treats inside. I would highly recommend it.

Not a challenge.
By DogPuzzle01 on Aug 6, 2021
This puzzle is well made but I can only give it 3 stars based off the sales description. It says it provides “hours of fun”. My 8 week old beagle puppy figured it out and emptied it in less than a minute. If you fill the cavities with something like peanut butter it takes longer but then it’s more of a pain to clean. I’d love to find a more challenging puzzle but I’m hesitant to spend another $20-$30.

I love this puzzle
By Gisela on Aug 3, 2021
My persons got me this puzzle since I'm an active dachshund mix puppy. I love it! It took me no time at all (about 30 seconds plus, according to my person) to get all 7 treats out of the puzzle compartments. I mostly used my nose, but when I got a second chance to play with the puzzle, I started to use my paws, too. I occasionally try to bite the knobs, but my person tells me not to, and then I go back to using my nose or my paws. I want to get another puzzle, with more challenge, soon.

Hide N' Slide
By Lovemydogs on Jul 25, 2021
My dogs love these puzzles!!! Every morning after breakfast both of my dogs wait by the kitchen island for me to load up their puzzle boards. I have different levels of these activity boards now and once they perfect one level I move them up to the next level puzzle board. I love watching them figure out how to get the treats out of the little cubbies!!! I hope Nina Ottosson comes out with more levels of these puzzles. They are well made and neither of them have tried to chew them up, or at least if they have tried they have not succeeded. It is fascinating to see how quickly they learn the puzzles.

I hoped this toy would challenge Evie more.
By Evie on Aug 16, 2021
Her previous toy was similar so she. had an understanding of how to push and slide to get the treats. This toy just had more chances. I think if she had this one first, it was even easier. Still, the toy is sturdy and well made and she still wants her kibble so she perks up.Takes her less than five minutes. She’s always been a smart girl, thinking first.
