Learn More About Nina Ottosson by Outward Hound From Our Team of Experts
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”.

How is this one different from the “adult” version? I already have this one.
Answer by • Oct 14, 2020
There is no difference between the adult and puppy version besides color.
How many white bones come with this?
Answer by • Jun 03, 2021
This toy includes 3 dog bone covers.
What are the dimensions of the bones?
Answer by • Nov 03, 2021
The smaller bone pieces measure approximately 2-1/4 inches by 1-1/2 inches.
Where is this toy made?
Answer by • Jan 12, 2021
All the Outward Hound products are designed in Colorado USA. Most are manufactured in China by partners that Outward Hound knows and trusts and a selection of Outward Hound chew products & treats are made here in the USA.
The idea of spinning the bones around while exposing treats is a good idea; the white caps add to the challenge, but the toy is too light. My dog simply flipped the toy over to dislodge the white caps and the treats. I had to screw the toy onto a wooden board to prevent my pup from flipping it over.

Entertaining and fun
Didn’t take my 1 year old German Shepherd to figure it out. First couple days were a real learning process.
I give it to her for a mid morning treat. She looks forward to it and after a couple weeks, she knows how it works.
Next is using the white stops to see how long it takes for her to figure those out.

More challenging
Took my 3 month old puppy about 10 min to figure out. Would like it to have taken a little longer. He loves it

Super Gametime
Our dog is entertained for a long time with this puzzle! Depending on # treats hidden, it can be 10 or 30 minutes. Very good occupation. The white plastic bones are not bite-resistant, so those are pulled away early.

Non-skid my butt
I have a 8 month old Aussie, he figured this out in like 10 minutes. It keeps him busy for about 2 about a 3 weeks worth of use. Most of those 2 minutes is him pushing it to all the corners of the house. I started putting it on top my cats old silicone feeding mat to keep it still for him. He pulls one group of treats out, takes them to his bed, crunches them and then goes back for more and repeats until it's empty.

Waste of my money
Very disappointed in this product. Dog figured it out too easy without the white bone inserts. When I put those in she just chewed them up.

Easy and Fun
My little puppy is really enjoying this. I have been putting peanut butter and snacks in the different spots and she has to take time to find them. She enjoys it and it keeps her entertained for a bit. Easy to clean as well!

Lots of fun
He figured it out fairly quickly. Had a little challenge when I added the bones on top. He loved sniffing out his food.

Fun for both dog & bunny!
Not only was this fun for my dog, puppy, and bunny, but it also is the most adorable salmon pink/orange color! Love it and I love that I can wash it and all of the pieces in the dishwasher.
