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”.

Highly Entertaining and Durable
By TheMorningLine on Nov 12, 2021
We got this for our 9-week old puppy who is pretty intelligent and easily gets bored. He loves it. Without the disc in the center, it's still fairly easy for him to flail and dig at it to get the treats out, but it keeps his focus and he loves to chew and mess with it even without treats in it. This is also the most durable of the Nina Ottosson toys I've purchased, with pieces that don't come off and more durable composite. This toy should last and remain entertaining for awhile. I highly recommend it.

Great brain teaser
By KatieMae on Nov 29, 2021
My mini-Bernedoodle loves the challenge of finding her food. Some days she won’t eat from her bowl , but when I give her a challenge she goes to town. She has been through a few other levels and this one gave her a little to think about. This is a great puzzle if you have a dog with lots of curiosity.

Challenging Puzzle
By LauraC on Oct 25, 2021
Our 10 week old Golden Retriever puppy enjoyed looking for kibbles in this puzzle. It seems like there are a lot of options to hide treats and make this puzzle more or less complicated as needed. It seems pretty sturdy also. We haven't used it a lot as the first time we tried it our pup managed to pinch his tongue in between 2 of the pieces. I think it was because he was standing on the puzzle while searching for his treats. He was fine but we've put it away until he is a little older.

husky puppy
By kenz on Nov 5, 2021
This is the only puzzle toy that takes our husky puppy more than two minutes and really engages his mind. He’s a smart boy and we have lots of puzzles but he seems to find those too simple. There are multiple parts to this puzzle that he needs to figure out before he can get all the treats inside and he ends up using his nose, mouth, and his paws so he’s really stimulated.

Not great for us
By Heavy on Nov 25, 2021
9 month old goldendoodle puppy destroyed this puzzle instantly trying to get to treats hidden inside. Not very sturdy nor difficult. Puzzle rated at 3 but puppy destroyed/solved it and moved on from it fast.

Did not keep dog occupied
By Neil on Nov 29, 2021
I was hoping this would keep my dog occupied, but honestly it took me longer to figure out how to get the treats IN to the puzzle than it took her to get them OUT. I mean, I know my dog is brilliant, but...

Way too easy for smart pups
By PupDoodle on Sep 22, 2021
While this is the most advanced level 3 toy from Nina Ottosson, if you have a smart dog, don’t expect this to last long at all. My pup is 6 months old and was able to get all the treats out within 2 minutes. I even put it on a raised surface so she couldn’t use her paws! Not worth the price for a few minutes of nose and brain work.

Decent but fragile
By Sarah on Oct 23, 2021
The center ring broke on the first day. The sliders still function and have been fun, but it is very easy difficulty wise now. Not for dogs who are strong!

Our Puggle Loves It
By Laurie on Aug 14, 2021
Our Josie loves the puzzle feeder. It challenges her and gets her to eat slower. I’m amazed at how she learned to position the sliders and turn the wheel. I love challenging her with enrichment toys like this to keep her interest sparked and her day more interesting. I definitely recommend it. You’ll be surprised at how quick they learn, yet don’t get bored. She loves foraging for her kibbles.

Flippers broke off immediately.
By Elyse on Aug 24, 2021
I unboxed this and set it down in front of my dog and I kid you not... one of the flippers broke off immediately. Literally had this for 5 minutes and my dog loves to play but is not destructive. Good method and seems challenging, just a bummer about the quality!
