Trixie Activity Poker Box Activity Strategy Game Dog Toy, Level 2

This toy was fun for three 10 min sessions then it got washed and put away. My dog, who is not a genius, figured it out in 3 mins. (except for the string handle lift which she deals with by being rough until it opens). Maybe if she was a terrier and not a doodle she would have stuck with the esoteric beauty of pulling the string but...Anyway, I like the toy and we'll get it out again and start over as she'll forget how to do it. Pretty much everything is new and fun for her...everyday.

My dog loves puzzles! We started with a fun feeder, moved up to a simple slider type deal, and are currently on this one! My dog loves it, it is challenging and frustrating but it keeps her going! I put high value treats in here - usually some Stella & Chewy's freeze dried pellets. The flipper is the easiest for her, with the two handles much more challenging. I will warn you, this toy is not indestructible. I filled this up before a day of meetings and she got all the treats out. During one meeting, I heard her chewing and thought it was her bully stick. Turns out she was happily destroying the slider with the ball on top. O well, now we have 3 boxes. Not a big deal, she's a dog and she chews My dog loves puzzles!

I recommend that after your dog finishes all the treats, you take the puzzle away to avoid any damage. Overall though, it has held up really well and my dog is pretty brutal with this. I mean full on digging at it with claws and flinging it across the carpet (never flipping it though - which is good on the puzzle's part). My dog is medium sized, 55 lbs and this puzzle is a good size (maybe a little big but she has fun with it). … more

I often feed my energetic dog with puzzles to get his mind working. While I wouldn’t say this puzzle is advanced/difficult, it definitely would frustrate a pup who gives up easily. That being said, it has been perfect for my guy! Well made, variety of skills needed to open the different boxes, and the boxes can be put in a different order to change it up regularly. It holds all 1.5 cups of large sized kibble!

My 14 week old border collie puppy is endlessly amused by this puzzle. Other reviewers are correct in saying that you shouldn't leave your pooch unattended while he plays with this puzzle. As he solves the pieces of the puzzle, small parts (lids, drawers etc) come off and if you don't remove them, he'll probably start chewing on them. I saw 2 Great Pyrenees puppies play with it and they loved it. My adult border collie solved one piece and lost interest. My sister's mixed breed adult dog was completely uninterested. So it's not for every dog but if your dog is into it, it's a winner.

My dogs love this game. I started with level 1 and have now bought 2. All I have to do is ask them if they want to play game and they get so excited. They still need a little help but catching on.

We have 4 dogs who play these dog toys. Our best time by our fastest dog was 52 sec. See if your dog can beat it. :-) Cheating doesn't count -- one of our dogs picks the whole toy up and tosses it, which lets him get all the treats in record time.

It has been so fun to watch my dog get excited about and play with this hide and seek style treat toy. It took her a handful of times to learn what to do, then she was off and away. If we put it away for awhile, it's not so easy for her yet that she gets bored with it. It still takes her a little bit of work to remember what she did before to find the treat. She loves it !

My furbabies are about 5 months old and they absolutely love this toy! One of them mastered the game pretty quickly but will still actively play since there are treats involved. The other one is still working on it - he has figured out 2 of the 4 treat locations. I would rate this product with 5 stars except the quality could be a little better. The string from one of the drawers broke and I don’t see a way to fix it. All in all, it’s a good toy and your dogs will enjoy it.

It's definitely something that you'll most likely have to teach your dog to use, but, that's also part of the fun. I like that it's versatile and you can change it up to add levels of difficulty. It also comes with a pamphlet to help you train your dog at using it!

This is an awesome game. Each quadrant can be detached and taught individually, then put back together and let the fun begin. This is 4th game we have purchased through Chewy. Pups are smarter than you think and gives them the brain stimulation that is so important.
