I bought this for my rabbit, and I must say that he loves it. He loves to lift up the bones and toss them around. On top of him loving it, he gets some of his daily intake of food since there is more than enough space under the bones to put food. Just wish it came in different styles instead of just bones. I recommend only for supervised play time for all animals. Overall would recommend.

When I first set up the easiest of the puzzles, My healer just sniffed it and walked away. I removed one of the bones and showed her the treats. She sniffed it more but walked away again. Well, it took half the day for her to return determined to eat some treats. It took about 30 minutes. For then on, her ability increased quickly. At the end of the day, she had 3 of 9. The following day she got the other 6. By the end of day 5, she could empty all the treats in about 10 minutes. So, now I'm ready to move on to the next harder puzzle. I was surprised as I consider her to be very intelligent. But, she doesn't like to play games. She was bread to be a work dog and she can do that very well.

Bottom line, I think these puzzles are a really great product. I think we're both enjoying them. … more

My shih tzu took about 5 minutes to realize how to move these bone pieces to get the treat. Now I put one inside one of the bones and the game is for her to find it. She sniffs each bone until she finds it and goes crazy with her paws moving the piece! The only thing is she then starts to bite the pieces like they are chew toys so I need to put it away for the next time. Highly recommend!

I got this in anticipation of bringing home my 8 week old cocker spaniel. The first day he was home he was nervous in general, so it took him awhile to get the hang of it. Even still, by the end of that first day he had gotten at least one bone out of the puzzle. Now it only takes him a few seconds to get one out, so it’s not as much of a puzzle as it is a toy. I don’t even have to put treats under it any more, he just likes playing with it on his own. Every time I put a bone in the spot, it’s almost like he’s insulted that there’s one in there and immediately tries to get it out. And he likes chewing on the white bones by themselves as well. Highly recommend for a young puppy!

Okay, it is an old reference, some will have to look it up. But my German Shepherd puppy does need support to practice patience to identify where the treats are. His basic method was to tip the whole thing over. Yes, patience young one. I started by filling them all. To up the challenge, left some empty to ensure he was using his nose. He really enjoys the challenge now and is utilizing patience every time.

I bought this for my new puppy. What I did not expect was that it has now become the favorite toy in the house for all three of my dogs! The pup has certainly taken to it, and can easily chose the correct "bone" that has a treat under it!!

My 12 week old Basset Hound, Walter, absolutely loves this puzzle. I have put both treats and food in here for him to find and he seems to really enjoy it. Very durable also as he likes to chew on the bones when he wants it to be refilled.

I have a 1 year old Shorkie. My dog has never had a puzzle toy, so i figured i'd start at the beginner level. My dog figured it out in under a minute. A week later it takes him no more than 30 seconds to get all the treats out. I think this would be great for a young puppy who is still trying to figure out motor skills, or for an older dog.

I was babysitting a Weimaraner and thought this could be an entertaining toy. It definitely was, but the second time he learned he could just flip it over to access all the treats at the same time. It’s a good puzzle, but very simple for smarter dogs.

This is a fun puzzle for dogs as it makes them think about how to access the treats under the little bone shapes. I happen to have a very smart dog, so she accessed every treat in under 10 minutes. She loves this puzzle, though, even though she mastered it quickly. It's still fun for her to search and be rewarded with a prize!
