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”.

What’s the best way to clean this? Can it be taken apart and put back together?

Answer by Chewy • Oct 14, 2024
This puzzle can not be taken apart. To clean the puzzle, simply remove the tennis ball and rinse with warm water and soap.

Is the outer layer hard plastic or soft?

Answer by Chewy • Jun 23, 2023
The large outer maze ball is made of flexible plastic and features a flexible rubber material.

Why is the toy greasy? I washed them really well and let them completely dry but the toy feels greasy. I don’t want to use something that has weird grease for my dog’s treats or food. The toy itself is a great concept and I was so so so excited to give her a new toy but now I’m questioning its quality and safety.

My dog loves this! It's soft so it's a good inside toy and washable so it's a good outside toy. It's not as difficult as I'd hoped, but it's at least 15 min of peace

My high energy, extremely intelligent Australian shepherd is constantly in need of enrichment. This puzzle ball was an instant hit!! The treats got him interested, and then within a few minutes the only motivation he needed was the tennis ball inside. He is FINALLY worn out by a toy!

Our dog loves this and it takes her a good amount of time to get it out. Especially if we add some tennis balls in front of it to make it even harder. I wanted to absolutely love this, but the downside is it’s near impossible to clean. None of it comes apart so it very quickly gets treat crumb build up on the inside.

Lasted for five seconds

The hole on the outer ball is far too big. The treat and tennis balls and treats fall right out. I put quite a few treats in (including ones inside the blue ball)

A lot of money for little use

Some kibble was left in the large ball and Megan got frustrated trying to get it out. She chewed the hole larger. No nothing stays inside.
