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”.

Not Much of a Challenge and Lacks in Design and Execution

Am normally a big fan of Nina Ottosson products. My dog has many of her brain games and they are high quality, durable and offer repeated fun. However, this ball

Am normally a big fan of Nina Ottosson products. My dog has many of her brain games and they are high quality, durable and offer repeated fun. However, this ball is a little too big and sturdy for my medium size dog (30 lbs). I purchased the smaller of the two sizes but it would be helpful if there was a smaller third option. For filling w/ treats and for cleaning purposes, it would be much better if the ball separated in the center and had solid "wall" splitting the two sides. The only way to fill it is to drop treats in the holes, so you need treats or food that came easily drop inside. Which means that once your dog is pushing the ball around the floor, the treats fall out rather easily making the game not much of a challenge at all. While it is made out of the same durable material as Ottosson's other products, it really lacks in design and execution.

It works, my dog plays w/ it BUT it is a PAIN IN THE BUTT to fill!!!

You can't open it up to fill it, so you have to spend almost as much time to put treats/food INTO it as the dog does to get it back out. Frustrating, my family

You can't open it up to fill it, so you have to spend almost as much time to put treats/food INTO it as the dog does to get it back out. Frustrating, my family doesn't use it as much because of the hassle. If you don't mind trying to make your hand a funnel for food that is too big for a funnel and JUST fits inside these holes, then it's great. Your dog will bat it around and eat the bits that fall out, very entertaining in that regard. Knowing what i know now... I would not buy it personally.

Skip!

Its arrives larger than shown in the picture. Small dog? Maybe if they are 25+ lbs. it’s recommended for beginner level. It is not beginner level friendly, Nor human

Its arrives larger than shown in the picture. Small dog? Maybe if they are 25+ lbs. it’s recommended for beginner level. It is not beginner level friendly, Nor human friendly. It’s too big for small breeds and to remove the treats yourself? Get ready to shake, rattle and roll x infinity before one finally gets free.

Easy to use

Pros: My dog quickly got the hang of this one! He could not fit it in his mouth or chew on it. It dispensed kibble/treats easily and was immediately rewarding. Cons:

Pros: My dog quickly got the hang of this one! He could not fit it in his mouth or chew on it. It dispensed kibble/treats easily and was immediately rewarding. Cons: it was almost too easy, went through food very quickly! I have laminate floors; it was so loud! When it rolled into objects at any speed I was worried it could ding up doors or furniture. It hasn’t yet, but if he got rough with it, it might.

Stop! Don't waste your money!

I also purchased the little bone treats to go with these as I bought two.. one for each dog. Big mistake, there are two holes for placing treats in AND also where

I also purchased the little bone treats to go with these as I bought two.. one for each dog. Big mistake, there are two holes for placing treats in AND also where they come out. Which they promptly do so as soon as your pup starts to play with it. The "Fun" didn't even last 3 minutes.. from one end of my living room to the other .. it rolled, the bones came out, they got eaten.. funs done.. over... So much for "hours of fun".... Unbelievable waste.. very disappointed

Excellent mind user

Once Addy got over her fear of the ball, she wasn’t quite sure about it at first, she now will cold and stare at me and nudge the ball if she wants me to fill it

Once Addy got over her fear of the ball, she wasn’t quite sure about it at first, she now will cold and stare at me and nudge the ball if she wants me to fill it and roll it around. It is wonderful for days I can’t get a ton of exercise in with her (she’s a heeler mix) and she can roll it around my house by herself until it’s empty. Highly recommend the small for dogs play, it is a perfect size.

Daisy LOVES smashing this hard plastic ball around the house to get the treats out but it's super loud. I have given it to her outdoors and it's still got her full attention and what's better is I don't hear it. Also, inside use can lead to the ball getting stuck under furniture or other items that could be knocked over and broken.

Best thing for nervous dogs

We have a deaf dog who has separation anxiety. We use this when we walk out the door to keep him occupied. It’s works perfectly!
