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”.

Removable tray renders puzzle solvable in seconds

The removable tray that the food goes in can be easily slid out the side of the puzzle. Also, if your dog uses brute force at all to solve puzzles do not get this

The removable tray that the food goes in can be easily slid out the side of the puzzle. Also, if your dog uses brute force at all to solve puzzles do not get this toy. The pieces can not hold up to any attempt to pull them out.

How easily the pieces are dislodged.

Pet liked it, but the design is not good unless you are hypervigilant. Dog can easily dislodge the pieces and then chew them. You also need to put them back together

Pet liked it, but the design is not good unless you are hypervigilant. Dog can easily dislodge the pieces and then chew them. You also need to put them back together after almost every use.

It slides on tile/hardwood

Six minutes and she found every treat, and I had to hold it still so it did not slide so she could opem the slots to get the treats.

Not for feral puppies lol

Great puzzle in theory, I just wouldn’t recommend for food crazed puppies. My 2yo German shepherd loves puzzles but decided he was just going to use brute force

Great puzzle in theory, I just wouldn’t recommend for food crazed puppies. My 2yo German shepherd loves puzzles but decided he was just going to use brute force and tear it open to get his food out. It can easily be pieced back together, but it only lasted about 2 minutes before he had it all pulled apart.

Rockstar & I both loved this!

This is easy for me! It has a pull out tray so I can sprinkle all the kibble at once, instead of doing it by hand one cup at a time! Rockstar has loved it because

This is easy for me! It has a pull out tray so I can sprinkle all the kibble at once, instead of doing it by hand one cup at a time! Rockstar has loved it because each time she has played with it she has gotten better and better! This is one toy I have seen her make real “progress” with! It’s like the light bulb is going on!

Puzzle toy

My dog had this for like 5 min and the pieces started popping off. She then proceeded to take them and chew which ended up being a mess and couldn’t use the puzzle

My dog had this for like 5 min and the pieces started popping off. She then proceeded to take them and chew which ended up being a mess and couldn’t use the puzzle anymore because it wouldn’t fit back in the grooves. As soon as the one popped off it was over.

Too smart

I bought 2 of these for my 4 year old medium golden-doodles. They got the idea of the puzzle after 15 minutes but the found how to pull the tray out to all the tricks

I bought 2 of these for my 4 year old medium golden-doodles. They got the idea of the puzzle after 15 minutes but the found how to pull the tray out to all the tricks. Next day tried again. Too smart, they pulled the tray out immediately. Great idea for dogs but my are too smart. I’m going to have to return and try something else.

I love the idea of puzzle toys

But not all dogs are equal, my Jack Russell gets annoyed if the game is complicate, or too much work , but my daughter’s Jack Russell is more energetic and persistent

10/10 for ease of filling and cleaning!

This puzzle is our first to add in mult-directional pushing motions, and my dog gets a huge kick out of it. My dog loves to eat his meals in puzzle toys. I can fit

This puzzle is our first to add in mult-directional pushing motions, and my dog gets a huge kick out of it. My dog loves to eat his meals in puzzle toys. I can fit maybe 1/2 cup in this toy because the kibble size is huge, and I want him to eat slowly, but you may be able to fit more. This toy has withstood normal wear and tear in 2 months of regular use and washes up well. The slider squares can be removed with some leverage, so I closely supervise this activity. We switch up the puzzles (and loan them to friends), and my dog loves to return to this easier puzzle after completing a more challenging one. I'm so pleased that he's not getting bored after figuring it out and enjoying the variety. My only wish is that Nina Ottosson/Outward Hound come out with a stand to mount these toys on. That way my dog is eating at an elevated level. Besides Lickin' Layers, they're all too big to fit in his adjustable food stand.

Hard game

Bodie gets frustrated with this game and gets riled up when he plays this game. Because he may not be smart enough for it yet.
