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”.

Questions & Answers

7 Customer Questions


What is the difficulty level? I just got a level2 for my dog and he figured it out in 2 mins.

Answer by ChewyAug 21, 2018
This toy has an advanced level of difficulty.

Are there removable parts?

Answer by ChewySep 23, 2020
The Hound Twister Puzzle Game Dog Toy does not have removable parts.

How much dog food does it hold? Cup wise?

Answer by ChewyJul 10, 2020
This toy does not measure an exact amount. It is recommended to add as much as you want but to remember the toy must still work to be effective. It varies due to kibble size or wet/canned or raw food.

Is this toy durable? My dog likes to chew

Answer by ChewyApr 24, 2020
Do not let the dog chew or bite the toy, only play with it together with your dog, do not leave the dog unattended, the dog must not chew the blocks.

This Twister puzzle is definitely more challenging than some other toys. My dog doesn’t always figure it out right away and will sometimes give up, but with a little help and encouragement, he gets interested again and keeps going. It’s a good option if you’re looking to add a tougher mental challenge and don’t mind being involved during playtime. The toy feels sturdy and works well with treats once my dog gets the hang of it.

Fun Puzzle! Keeps Dog Occupied!

There are 2 levels: 1 is easy, just slide the caps. 2 is hard, paw to open the drawers. Fun to see my Shar Pei figure out the harder task of pulling the handles

There are 2 levels: 1 is easy, just slide the caps. 2 is hard, paw to open the drawers. Fun to see my Shar Pei figure out the harder task of pulling the handles to allow sliding the top pieces. Took a while, but he eventually figured it out! Good value!

Cheap and floppy

My lab will nose at it and the flaps open rather than having to use paws to open the tabs and slide the doors. Definitely would not recommend

Not worth the money

The plastic was easily scratched and chewable. Consider this toy required them to "pull" the drawers open. Was good for a week but already falling about.

Best for a dog that paws

I got this for my brilliant toy poodle. My poodle, pekapoo, and biewer terrier never figured out the locks but still enjoyed it just sliding. Then a little yorkie came to visit and really enjoyed it. It was challenging but not impossible for her. My 3 couldn’t get the locks even with help for over a year and this teensy yorkie figured it out in a day but still found it time consuming.

My dog absolutely loves puzzles and she will usually figure out a way to get the treats. This one's a bit too tricky, and she's given up. Every now and then I will help her by showing her how to pull out the white thingies, to no avail. She lost interest in it. This puzzle is a bit too hard for most dogs to figure out, I'm guessing.

Slows down eating

Slows down eating but not as much as a slow feeder bowl. Dog paws open the compartments rather than solving the puzzle.

Chicken and duck feet

Our Shepherd loves these treats. At 2:22 pm everyday she goes to the cupboard and asks for one.

Our pup knows he has to slide the covers around but can’t quite pull the latches out yet. I think he will get it after I show him a few more times. It’s definitely good that I started him on the easier puzzle of this brand because I am sure he knows he has to move pieces to get the food and treats I hide inside.
