My lab loves puzzles and is very good at them. I was worried that this toy would be too small but he doesn’t use his feet at all, just his nose and mouth. It is self rewarding so he continues to play until the treats are gone, except for the one time I put carrot slices in. I guess eating carrots occasionally is ok in his book but not as a reward!

We have an incredibly smart two-year-old bulldog. It took her about fifteen minutes before she figured out that she needed to upend the three containers in order to retrieve the treats. We haven't yet challenged her with the next level of difficulty. In short, this is a worthwhile 'brain-teaser."

This toy completely frustrated my dog. I left it on the floor too long and he chewed the tops off all the little treat containers. :-( I think he is too big for this toy. I have tried to teach him not to hit things with his paws because he has knocked them over, or when he hits me, it hurts!!!

We bought this for our mini Aussie puppy. He is a super smart and curious dog so we thought he would love it. Unfortunately he is afraid of it. When the tubs comes back and hit him he freaks out. Kinda bummed I was super excited for him to play with this.

I like that it holds a decent amount of kibble. However the two dogs I used it on ( 15lb and 30 lb dogs ) tip it over very easily . I put a brick on it and dog can still tip over. I like the function of it otherwise and will either mount it to the wall or secure down to a large wood base so dogs can tip it .

My dog is not too much of a fan and my other friends dogs have learned to chewy on the bottles... My cat has figured it out and enjoys it alot. The green stand is easy to knock over and detaches from the base.

My "Peaches" (10 y.o. Russell-mix) loves this - finally! She was quick to start spinning the tube but only associated the spinning with a treat popping UP from the floor rather than OUT of the tube even tho she saw me put the treat in the tube. After days of trying - and failing - I finally took an empty tube (off the frame), put treats inside, and placed the tube on the floor so she could roll it around and get the treat. She finally got it! Now she comes running in from our walks and starts spinning the tubes for her treat. She throws her head back and howls - a sure sign she is thrilled and pleased with herself.

Neither dog has yet to completely grasp how it works, and there is a bit of an annoying put together process, but I think with repeated sessions, they could probably get it. Definite brain teaser

Best suited for smaller dogs. I have a 4.5 month old German Shepard that picked this up and ran with it lol. Every time she tried to paw at the bottles, it fell over.

I bought this for my senior Jack Russell terrier because I wanted a fun game to keep her thinking. She really likes this! We took the lids off on our first try because the treats got stuck, but the lids worked fine with smaller sized pieces. The design is cute, the toy is sturdy, and my dog had a good time knocking the beakers around. The only thing is I think it would be easy for a large dog to knock over so I'd recommend it more for small to medium sized dogs.
