Nina Ottosson by Outward Hound Worker Composite Puzzle Game Dog Toy

Of all the balls, Kongs, ropes, etc. I purchased for our new Mini American Shepherd puppy, this has been the best. Our puppy went from howling from being separated from us, to diligently working on this puzzle, to being completely satisfied and asleep once he recovered all the kibble. The intellectual stimulation it provides is brilliant. You can also set it up for very easy solving and increase complexity as your dog gets older and wiser.

It took our pup 2-3 tries to really get the idea of how this puzzle works down. The nice thing is that, even though he knows how it works now, it requires enough tactile stimulation to work through no matter what. One thing I would note- it was great for our 11 lbs dachshund puppy, but I think it might be a little delicate to maneuver for a large breed dog that isn't very coordinated.

I got this for my 14 year old dude who is super food motivated and very mentally active to help satisfy his desire for constant entertainment. He LOVES this puzzle and even chooses it over his treat balls. He uses his claws a lot and it's taking the beating well. Happy!

Kept our two 3-year old Brittanies occupied & engaged for a while, but soon enough they'd chewed off one of the V-shaped flanges and are starting to chew up the small hollow posts with the hidey-holes. These dogs aren't terrible chewers, but this proved too intriguing. Still, it's too expensive to not be designed to withstand what should be expected as normal attention from a dog looking for a treat.

Although my 5 month old, 55lbs, gerberian shepsky figured this out within one round of playing and it takes her about 5 mins to get through the whole thing now, she loves eating her kibble from this. It gives her a fun and interactive way to find her food while acting as a slow feeder. Also, a great way to feed her treats hands free. She has nibbled on 1-2 of the knobs but that’s no concern to me since it still held up well so it’s durable, and she is a heavy chewer. Note that pups should be supervised when using this as they may try to pull out the middle piece (which my pup successfully did the first time) or knobs, and it also slides around hardwood floors/smooth surfaces.

I purchased this puzzle to go along with my two other Nina puzzles (Slide and Tornado). My dog had already mastered those (he is Hound/German Shorthair mix)and wanted a puzzle that was a bit more challenging. He still is missing about one of the rotating wheel holes with each play - but I believe he will master that soon. These puzzles keep an active dog engaged long enough for me to get a cup of tea!

It’s sturdy and challenging and my 7 month old puppy loves it. Glad I bought the puzzle with the rotating disk in the middle. He quickly figured out the other sliders within a couple minutes. The disc requires some abstract reasoning.

My German Shepherd loves the toy but sadly, just from pawing at the center piece to make it spin we have had 2 break on us. She’s only 80 pounds and though excited about solving the puzzle for the treats she was not being destructive. I’m really sad for her..she really loves the game. I hope the makers will redesign this so center core can’t break....then I’d gladly buy her another. Chewy was great and easily refunded for the second one. Wish I had called them about the first

I finally took the plunge & got my crazy Doberman a puzzle-treat toy. Most of them I've seen had so-so reviews, so I passed on them, but the reviews on this one were good, so I figured...must be a reason? I can see why now!! She loves it!! She has to work for the treats, but that's the point!! For anyone with crazy hyper fur kids, give this one a go. And as an added bonus, it's also super entertaining to watch.

I chose this puzzle after watching a video of the creator showing a few different ways to set it up for play. I love the idea that you can adjust the difficulty and change up which tasks the dog needs to complete. Our dog has played with this a few times now, and it's been so much fun watching her learn how all the parts move. I've found it's helpful the first couple times to be generous with helping her solve it so that she doesn't get discouraged. We feed our dog 1/4 cup of food per meal, and this puzzle will hold her entire meal and then some. Great for slowing down fast eaters while also giving them an activity!
