Outward HoundNina Ottosson Interactive Dog Toys - Medium Level 2 - Dog Puzzle Toys & Treat Dispenser for Boredom Relief, Mental Stimulation & Dog Enrichment - Reduces Anxiety, Engages Smart Dogs

love this product, the 3 layers takes the dog ages to get through as they all spin round too. easy to clean as they all unclip and i just pop in the dishwasher. good spaced gaps for wet products but also to squeeze treats into. good quality, long lasting and hard plastic so my dog doesn't chew through it, but also cant due to the way it spins. would buy again.

4 month puppy enjoyed it but chewed one of the bones quite quickly and it now doesn’t sit flat. It takes him about 4-5 minutes to find all of the treats. Haven’t tried freezing it yet though

My pup is an avid fan, and collector, of the Nina Ottosson Outward Hound range, they have been designed and made with care, precision, and my pup's needs in mind. Being both sturdy and safe, you can really tell the difference between these and cheaper, less robust products. This is easy to fill with treats, and keeps him entertained, until it's empty of course, at which point I am promptly instructed to refill it. I highly recommend this as a treat dispenser.

Great puzzle, perfect for my dog who had already mastered the twister spinning one.

1) Product specification. Bought the green, circular toy with sliding cups and fishtails and a rotating central disc to cover the holes. Packaging says that you can lock the disc with the fishtails, but... you can't - it still spins freely with the fishtails in any position - but you can lock it if you leave a cup inside the one notch on the disc. So maybe that's what they meant, otherwise, the product isn't being manufactured to proper specifications!2) Robustness. Dog is a border collie, so I bought this one even though we haven't tried any of the other puzzles, because reviews said collies solved those within minutes (which I'd expect... they're very clever dogs). Possibly I over-estimated his skill, but he isn't stupid, he just knows that if I let him, he could lever the central disc off with his teeth and get at the treats that way... So you definitely should not leave your dog alone with this puzzle for even a second! Also it wouldn't be great as a training tool, because if your dog isn't already obedient to being called off, it will wreck it within seconds. But it's a nice little diversion.3) Treat extraction. I used very small treats at first (because I don't want to overfeed him) but he discovered immediately that he can curl his tongue right under the edge of the disc and extract them that way, which would be the same for peanut butter, so I advise that it works better with larger treats! Also don't use little flat disc treats because they can get stuck in the groove that runs around below the disc and require extraction with a spoon handle.4) Puzzle solution. Putting treats under the cups so they have to be slid over the holes works well, although I'm not sure if he's actually worked that out or it just happens naturally as he snuffles for the treats. The fishtails are free-spinning at all points but do need to be moved out of the way to uncover the outer treat holes, so they add a little extra challenge. Turning the central disc is so far proving a major challenge. It's a little stiff, and he wants to use his nose and tongue rather than his paws, so I think that might be causing some of the trouble, but he also clearly doesn't understand what he has to do - yet. I'm hopeful we'll get there eventually though, and at least it means he hasn't solved the whole puzzle at once!Overall, the puzzle is well made (apart from the odd inability to lock the central wheel the way it describes) and sturdy, except that the average dog's jaws can get through marrowbones, so 'sturdy' does not equate to 'indestructible' and (I repeat) you really must not leave your dog alone with this, like the packaging warns. It's a bit of a faff to wash clean, because of all the sliding parts, but it does rinse and drain well.Dog loves it - well, he loves finding the treats - to be honest I think he'd have just as much fun, and use about as much brainpower, hunting for treats under upturned cups like in the 'find the lady' street hustler trick, so whether we've wasted our money remains to be seen; if he can just work out what's required to move that central wheel! (To be fair to my dog, he is medicated for epilepsy and probably stoned out of his gourd half the time, which doesn't help.) So it's not a terrible product... but I'm less satisfied with it than I'd hoped. I think I should probably use it daily to help him learn. You could use it more often if your dog eats kibble (just use some of his daily food ration) but mine has rice for dietary purposes so kibble is out.

Firstly, for those considering to buy the tornado, this feels like a premium product, it's sturdy, it's bigger than expected, it doesn't have that weird Chinese factory smell, it comes pre-assembled, so easy to start using and as you can see we're huge fans of their products!So build quality:No scratches yet, I'd say great durability! My dog is small, but destructive, he hasn't chewed on or broken one of these toys (yet anyway). But as far as this model goes, I think it would be good, even for big destructive dogs (always supervise though, and you know your dog best). The white bones might be enticing for a chewer. The bones are replaceable, but your dog is not. So bear that in mind.(Also regarding the bones, if you have the Brick puzzle, you automatically have 4 extra bones to use in this puzzle too. They're exactly the same, tried and tested 👍)My dog asked for his food to be put in this specific puzzle (uses buttons), which I thought was an accidental button press, but he loved it! He's the pickiest dog with so many food allergies, but he loved eating his food from this puzzle it seems!Cleaning:I'll use soap and water to wash the food out of this one, but usually for dry treats I just use an antibacterial wipe, seems to work brilliantly, no residue or stickiness.A note on boredom:Our dogs are smart, when they get the hang of a puzzle, they'll speed through it. So if you want to use it to keep them busy, maybe buy a few and alternate or use them together.TL;DR: worth every penny!

Bought for my cats and it worked well. Center puzzle is quite difficult for them to figure out as it has two steps but the design is good. They figured out the outside quite quickly but took longer for the inside. Spinning the wheel came quite natural but adding the push took a little longer.When teaching, I'd recommend starting out by putting treats underneath the wheel (as there is a bit of space) to get them started with spinning it in the first place.

I have 2 wiry dachshund standard and a bichon, the daschunds are a year old. This toy they really get excited about, you can use the treat ball that comes with it, or just fill it with different treats. I fill it with different things and they will play with it until empty. Great for noses to keep the brain active . Easy to disenfect, robust for my dogs, great value, seems to be lasting well where others have broken quickly

I have a 60 pound pitty puppy and this is a good toy for her. She is a super chewer and has not destroyed it. It keeps her busy until it runs out of treats. I mixed kibble w the treats. Good size. Good quality. Good value.

O envio foi super rápido e veio bem embalado. O produto é de altíssima qualidade mesmo, da um bom brinquedo, meu cachorro achou muito curioso tentar pegar a bolinha pequena de dentro e tirar a comida quando foi usado como comedouro interativo! Também gostei que a bola é bem grande, da pra ver pela foto (meu vira-lata é porte médio-grande e tem 20kg).

Our smart miniature Doodle plus Wheaten, mastered this in no time. It challenged him at first but we gave it to the SPCA and he moved on to a harder puzzle and now needs another third puzzle that is more difficult.I have a Doodle due to my asthma but spent 2 decades rescuing Brittany’s, all from the US. I endured my allergies and even collapsed my lung twice.For those who berate Doodles, I am ashamed of you all. All dogs from reputable breeders are amazing! Who are you to judge? All dogs deserve a loving home and to do less makes you a horrible human being. All dogs are special!

Excelente para perros que comen rápido o necesitan entretenerse. Buena calidad y fácil limpieza

Billy (shih tsu mix) loves to search through it for treats. Not very challenging, barely intermediate, but a good first toy when the easier ones lose their challenge. Sturdy enough, easy to wash, keeps his interest. Maybe too small for a large dog, though.
