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.

When our dog sees me pick this up to put kibbles in, he starts jumping up and down and spinning circles! I see in most reviews that most dogs figured it out quickly, but our dog was raised with 6 cats so he doesn’t have the best doggie skills. He’s still learning that he can move multiple knobs and doors to get the treats. One thing I really like about this puzzle is that there are many ways to set it so the dog doesn’t become bored. The price is affordable for most people and the quality is just excellent.

My ferrets were having SO much fun on this!! I’ve never seen them worked that hard to get their freeze-dried treats. I had to show them how to move the blocks a couple of times during the play, but they learned it very quickly once they figured out how the block moved.

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!

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that dogs need mental enrichment. I have a 11 month old German shepherd who needs both mental and physical enrichment everyday. I have many puzzles, treat dispensers, etc. to keep her busy. I expanded my collection and love this puzzle! She figured it out in 3 minutes which is good. It shows that she’s ready for the next level! I have 3 level one puzzles, I will get a few more level 2 puzzles before moving onto the next level. Overall, great puzzle for a great price!

Hey everyone! bought two of these for my golden retrievers, and man they love them! They took about 10 minutes the first time I introduced it to them but after about 3-4 times, they have been able to get the puzzle done in about 3 minutes now. One thing I wish is that it was a little bit bigger. This puzzle is really cool and love how pieces slide and drop treats and whatever into the little grooves, just wish it was bigger so they have more spots to look in.

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.
