Trixie Mad Scientist Turn Around Interactive Dog Toy, Level 2

I love this dog toy for lots of reasons. My dog took time to master it and it was fun to watch her figure it out. Once she was clued in to how it dispensed treats and what she had to do to get them, we have had a great time watching her spin the jars with both her paw and her nose. The only warning I have about this toy is that when not in use put it in a place where your dog can't reach. I left it on the floor by mistake and my dog chewed off two of the caps trying to find treats (that weren't there). The positive side is that three replacement caps are included with the toy. I have a feeling that the manufacturer was being proactive in supplying those with the original order. For ideal I love this dog toy for lots of reasons.

They fit perfectly and make the toy a lot of fun. Would love to include the video of my "dog gone wild" but a photo will have to do. … more

We have a westie cookie monster mix ;) if there's a treat involved he WILL figure it out. As a result we're constantly trying to find new ways to make him work for it. This one was great. Not too hard but not too easy. At this point hes mostly knocking them out by accident but its happening enough to keep him interested. Hes gonna huff at us when we swap it out to the smaller holes later :D

This is an interesting dog toy. My sheltie is still working on flipping the cups over completely. After watching me for a little while, she understood the concept to some degree. She knows to bump or push the cups with her nose, but she hasn't done it with enough force yet to get a treat to spill out. We'll keep working on it because its a good brain workout, and I know she'll figure it out soon.

Assembly easily in minutes, I didnt put the lid on to make it easy at first. I show my dog that these tubes contain treats, then raised him a lot after he tried hard to get it out. At third attemps, he completely learns how to play with this toy and now he checks on it a few times a day to see if there are more. However, my other dog doesnt care about this toy :(

This is a great game to challenge my high energy american bulldog mix. She figures games out pretty quickly but seems to take a little longer with this one. She has had this a week and gets the concept of the treats dispensing but I try not put too many in containers to give her mind a work out

My puggle loves these kind of toys but she has figured out that brute force is effective on the ones where the treats are hiding under caps or sliding things. This one they can't just scratch the heck out of it until the top comes off, they have to keep working at it. It's my favorite to give her treats with and she loves it too. She isn't big enough to pick it up and slam it around so it stays upright for her.

Bought this for Christmas for my German Short-haired Pointer. Let him figure it out on his own. Took about a week. It's great for a distraction and to keep him busy for awhile!!!! Well designed because of the rubber feet on bottom that keep it in one place and doesn't move around on him!!!!

The toy sits on is fairly light plastic base. So my guy just picked it up and slammed it on the ground till the treats fell out. The second time, I got rid of the base and held the green poles and we had fun playing together. The blue pill bottles are surprising durable too. I would recommend it but it’s definitely requires parental participation.

The plastic material is not durable — got badly chewed up after the third round by my 10 month westie pup. The base isn’t weighted, nor is it wide enough — so it keeps toppling over. This is such a wonderful idea, and my puppy loved it — but the design flaws are bad enough to make this a disappointing throwaway item.

At first I thought this was a great toy. But the legs aren’t actually screwed into the base so the top can be easily tipped over. My dogs now just knock it over versus playing with it. Bummer. Would be awesome if the toy was more stable.
