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”.

My poodle's favorite for years

I came here looking to see if anyone had tricks on cleaning it better because after about 3 years of almost daily use, it's gotten pretty gross despite wiping down

I came here looking to see if anyone had tricks on cleaning it better because after about 3 years of almost daily use, it's gotten pretty gross despite wiping down the exterior regularly. My only complaint is that it doesn't come apart to wash, but if it did, it might not work as well. The bad reviews surprised me, but my dog is not a big chewer and I show her how to play with new toys so she doesn't get frustrated and just try to destroy it. She does pick it up with her teeth to haul it back to an open area when it gets stuck against something, but it's never pierced the clear barrier inside. I guess if your dog is prone to chewing through things instead of engaging with them and trying to figure them out, it's not a good choice, but I got this because my sister's toy poodle loved it for years and my medium poodle has also loved it for years now so I'm back to buy it again just because the inside is getting pretty icky. She'll finish the hardest puzzles out there in 2-3 minutes but I can throw a handful of treats in this and it will keep her busy for 20-30 minutes easily. Day in and day out for years now. She doesn't get tired of it like her other toys. So YMMV, but I think it's worth a try unless you know it's not going to be a good fit for your dog.

5 minutes eat time

This toy is easy to chew on and for any dog to tear up. I give it 3 stars because it's still in use however you must be present and store it away immediately after

This toy is easy to chew on and for any dog to tear up. I give it 3 stars because it's still in use however you must be present and store it away immediately after pup finishes using it or it will be fully destroyed and only used once for you. If I had the chance I would choose another ball maze because that takes way longer for dog to eat. You must be cautious with it when storing food in there or pebbles will fall out.

Fun but not strong

My dog loves this! But after only two times of use the clear plastic area where the treats release is now showing extreme wear. Hoping it doesn’t break/gets dangerous?

Not So Indestructible

So the toy itself was great. You can put Cheerios in it or dog treats or whatever and the dog goes wild and has a fun time. However, the plastic comes off in bits

So the toy itself was great. You can put Cheerios in it or dog treats or whatever and the dog goes wild and has a fun time. However, the plastic comes off in bits and pieces that are smaller than a dime. Our dog ingests these and then proceeds to vomit them back up if there are too many. The toy will not stand up to those dogs who are young, incorrigible and want to bite and chew everything.

Keeps pup interested

I put dog food pellets inside, and he is eager to get at it rather than leaving it sit. It is also good since we have another dog who can't figure it out and then

I put dog food pellets inside, and he is eager to get at it rather than leaving it sit. It is also good since we have another dog who can't figure it out and then he gets the food and treats without the other one grabbing and eating it especially since our shihpoo is a grazer and comes and goes back to it throughout the day.

One of Higgins' favorites!

Since he pushes it all over the house, I had to get a second one to make sure I could find at least one of them right away for the next day's fun.

Great toy

Great tou, kept my dogs busy for around 30 minutes. They do try and crew up the plastic so I only let them play with it while supervised.

Fun until I forgot to put it away

My dog enjoyed this toy very much. Not too easy and not too difficult -- she is relatively smart when it comes to puzzle toys. My only issue is that I left her alone

Our puppy loves this puzzle

We have a 16 week old Australian Mountain Doodle who loves this food puzzle. We put kibble and a few treats and he has a blast. You need to use dry food since

We have a 16 week old Australian Mountain Doodle who loves this food puzzle. We put kibble and a few treats and he has a blast. You need to use dry food since it doesn’t really come apart to clean - but it works great and highly recommend it.

Our dog loves this toy

We have a small pittie that's very hard on toys, but so far this one is working well. She is VERY enthusiastic about dislodging the treats from the maze!
