Instructions

Puzzle Games

TRIXIE offers a wide variety of puzzle games designed for dogs of all skill levels, from beginner to expert. TRIXIE puzzle games help provide mental stimulation, ease anxiety, and stimulate your furry friend’s senses and instincts. Plus, it’s easy to adjust the level of difficulty to match your pup’s needs. As your dog progresses and masters each level, he can move up to the next one and work through a new and engaging set of challenges.  

Beneficial Enrichment

Did you know that just 15 minutes of mental exercise can be as beneficial as 30 minutes of physical exercise for pets? TRIXIE offers a range of puzzle games designed to target and stimulate your pet's cognitive abilities—and they’re also treat-based, making them perfect for food-motivated dogs. Plus, each puzzle includes an instructional booklet with tips and tricks for dogs of all ages.

Bonding With Your Pet

Puzzle games can help promote a stronger bond between you and your dog. Showing your dog how to solve the puzzles and retrieve treats helps you foster a sense of teamwork and collaboration. And if your pet has trouble, you can help out or offer another challenge to keep him engaged. These games provide a great way to spend quality enrichment time with your best friend.

Use as a Toy or Slow Feeder

TRIXIE puzzle games can be used as enrichment toys or as slow feeders for your dog. Using a puzzle game as a feeder encourages your pet to eat slower, develop healthier eating habits, and avoid issues like bloating, indigestion, and obesity. It’s a great way to add fun to mealtime and prevent your pup from wolfing down food.

Exceeded Expectations and LOVE the Instructional Booklet

Had this product in my "Favorites" for a very long time, but was reluctant to purchase based on the price. When it was on sale for half off, put it in my cart immediately! This was my first experience w/ this brand so was tentative about quality, design and challenge level. Normally, I only purchase Nina Ottosson brain games. However, I was thrilled w/ all of the above offered by Trixie and the BEST part was the instructional booklet. It was filled w/ suggestions on how to work w/ your dog to train them on the game. Really specific recommendations for when and how to introduce her to the game, best ways to reward her and keep her confidence going as she learned. The suggested timeframe (10 mins or less) to spend during each training session was so appreciated! Will definitely purchase additional games and products from the Trixie brand!

I have two dogs. One of them loves puzzles and the other one has trouble figuring them out. I bought this hoping at least one of them would enjoy it. I started by showing them how to use one of the containers without the top screwed in. I showed them and neither figured it out. It’s been a couple of months. One of my dogs chewed through the tube instead of pawing it. Sturdy product but my dogs didn’t take to it. Worth a try.

For two food-driven dogs, this has been a great addition to our toy section. Not only does it provide mental stimulation for both of my boys, but it also keeps them busy while providing a small treat. This did take a minute for them to figure out, but once they did it has become one of their favorites.

Good slow feeder & keeps mind active

My 3-month old puppy loves to play with this. It’s not complicated but does take some reasoning. Keeps him occupied for 15-minutes and helps him eat food slowly

My 3-month old puppy loves to play with this. It’s not complicated but does take some reasoning. Keeps him occupied for 15-minutes and helps him eat food slowly. Note: my puppy is only 10 pounds and a small breed. Don’t think this would work for a medium or large puppy or dog.

It's a bit flimsier than I had hoped. Our 13 lb Yorkie can't quite raise her paw high enough, and our 36 lb retriever mix puppy is too impatient to tap it, so it goes flying! So, maybe it gets put away for now. We may try again once the pup energy settles... in about two years. HA!

Challenging and rewarding

My very food-motivated dog Bella at first was a bit apprehensive about it because this was kind of tall for her. She's a Chihuahua and thus is low to the ground

My very food-motivated dog Bella at first was a bit apprehensive about it because this was kind of tall for her. She's a Chihuahua and thus is low to the ground. But with some gentle coaching, she is now a pro and loves knocking the vials around to get the treats out of them. This is so much fun! She loves it!

Great IF Your Dog Isn't Scared...

I would've given this 5 stars because it's a great concept. Unfortunately my little neurotic love bug is terrified of it because he thinks it's going to hit him

I would've given this 5 stars because it's a great concept. Unfortunately my little neurotic love bug is terrified of it because he thinks it's going to hit him. Now he won't go near it, even with the treats! I wish he loved it because I would have for sure given it 5 stars. Hopefully your dog isn't a scaredy cat! No offense to wonderful kitties. :-)

Not great for a little dog

Emmy loved this, almost too much!!

I bought this feeder/toy to give my 15yr old husky some enrichment since she's been stuck wearing a donut collar to keep her from licking at some hot spots. I thought

I bought this feeder/toy to give my 15yr old husky some enrichment since she's been stuck wearing a donut collar to keep her from licking at some hot spots. I thought the ol' girl deserved some fun time for putting up with her leopard print "fashion accessory". As soon as I opened the package, I filled the tubes with treats & kibble, and put it down on the floor. After a few curious sniffs & exploratory licks, Emmy quickly figured out how to flip the tubes to get the goodies to spill out. After the first couple of times I brought this toy out, filled to the brim with goodies, Emmy decided to take matters into her own paws by chomping on the tops of the tubes and carrying it around the living room, happily scampering away when I tried to catch her to take it away! :D Because of this, I do recommend always supervising your dog when using this feeder/toy, because she was pretty close to chewing the tops off the tubes and ruining it. Luckily, I managed to get it back from her and it lives to engage her another day! Also, some reviews had commented on it being easy to knock over but we didn't run into that problem but I can see how it could happen.

I got this for my bunny who loves puzzle type toys. It’s more challenging but she’s already starting to figure it out on the first night. I fully expect this will become one of her favorites before long!
