Outward Hound by Nina Ottosson MultiPuzzle – Interactive Dog Treat Puzzle Enrichment Toy, Level 4 Expert

I bought this for my 50 pound female half purebred Siberian husky mixed with half wolf that we rescued from a upper class puppy mill before she ever was mated and she has spent a large chunk of her life at the rescue center without stimulation and she is extremely smart and I did not buy any of the first second or third puzzles. I went straight for this fourth one and it took me a few days to realize how to put everything in and it took her almost a week to get the hang of all of the layers, and if the second layer pops out, they are easy to pop back in because with my girl if she can't get the food, the normal way she will just rip it open and it is durable plastic and I am going to get another higher stimulation toy from them. I am so happy that I bought this and we are not ever really away from each other but when I have to run to the store, it's nice to know that she has this to look forward to and then when I come home, she gets extra treats because she immediately shows me with her dummy pillow how she protected the home when I walk in the door and then on her command to stop, she stops and then we use a few treats to catch in the air, but she knows that at least twice a day she can rely on that puzzle toy, and you don't have to get little training treats you can get even at a good price I went to Fred Meyer's or also called Kroger's and they have salmon and sweet potato jerky with no grain and no byproduct that is six dollars regular and it is a pretty hefty bag and you can rip up the pieces of jerky and put them in the spots and the holes. I am very happy with this and it is very easy to clean.

I adopted a 13-year-old cat 6 months ago, and he was clearly intelligent, bored, and treat-oriented. So I started him off with a small cat puzzle, which he quickly mastered. And then I bought him a more complicated one, and several more. Then we started on the dog puzzles. He has figured out sliding tiles, opening compartments, lifting lids, pulling tabs, etc. Like an elephant, he never forgets. If I give him one of his old puzzles, he zips through it in less than 5 minutes (including treat eating time) and asks for a refill. And another, and another....I thought this huge Challenge Slider puzzle would take him a while to figure out, but no, he finished it the first day I gave it to him. He did a few tiles at a time and kept coming back to do more later, so at least it kept him busy for a while, which is an improvement. To get this one down to a 5-minute personal best, he'll need to develop a methodical system, so I will watch with interest. This puzzle has a nice feature: a tray for the treats that slides out from under the tiles, enabling me to see whether the cat has found them all, and making it easy to refill. Anyway, yes, this is suitable for cats who are so inclined. The tiles don't slide as easily as in his other puzzles, but to me anything that slows him down is a plus. I was hoping this would be the puzzle to end them all, but next up will be the Tower of Treats. After he rips through that, I don't know.

I have a 15 pound small dog with lots of energy. We have gotten many dog puzzles fromOutward hound (own at least 4 of them).The challenge slider: This one is less sturdy than the others. The second time my dog used it and she broke out the pieces and I had to put them all back in together. Not sure how it will hold up in the future. She’s done it now about four times and only broke out the pieces once. I will say my dog is not physically aggressive she did scratch at it to make the pieces move but I don’t feel that she is a very aggressive and her approach on these puzzles she’s not a chew her either. I will say that her nails weren’t groomed at the time so perhaps that led to her getting grip to be able to like rip them upwards and out. Overall I’ve been very happy with the outward hound puzzle products. I like how quick and easy this one was to load compared to some of the others. You can pull out the tray and fill all the treats at one time. Not sure I would buy again just because I have some questions on sturdiness. As far as engaging her, it definitely does the job.The brick:This one is a favorite and my dog has mastered it. She just did it 20 times. I will set the little door flops have separated several times and I’ve clicked them back in okay. Wondered if it will hold up in the future. But it was worth the money.The casino:This is another favorite. I find that I have to lock every other one still even after like 10 times. Or she gets too frustrated. I do like that option that I can slowly lock more and more of them I find if I like them all she just gives up after a while at this point. I would recommend.The twister:That’s why I’m struggling on how to teach my dog to twist the bones to get them to be recessed to get the drawers pulled out. She pulls the drawers out fine if I leave them in the unlocked position. Not sure how this one’s gonna end up working out. She loses interest because she can’t get the doors to open and I’m struggling again to teach her how to twist the bones around. It’s just not clicking. Would not buy again.The treat tumble small:I recommend this one. I do it when she kinda is driving me crazy and I’ll just put her food in it for the day and make her work a little for it.

This product is well made, keeps my dog entertained for about 45 minutes, and is not yet easily solved by my dog after four or five uses. Though I don't put a lot of food or treats inside, it would hold much more if someone wanted to use it as a slow feeder. My dog is a 40-pound Siberian Husky/American Pit Bull mix, and she has not even been able to leave a tooth mark. The product is sturdy, well-made, and accomplishes the purpose for which it was purchased: to occupy the dog and prevent her from interrupting me during certain tasks.

Sadly, I ended up returning this. I own dozens of food puzzles so I was happy to find one that required more skill. It is a very cool puzzle, but the function of two of the levels is wobbly & need precise positioning to open. My dogs who understood how to unlock those levels still weren't able to consistently get them aligned exactly right. It wasn't just a matter of working harder, when the alignment got stuck, human hands were needed to disengage it. 3 dogs tried several times & the same sticking points were all a function of tricky alignment. The product is a great idea, but needs some refinement.

This is a great interactive toy for keeping dogs mentally engaged.My dog really enjoys using it, and it keeps her occupied as long as there are treats inside. Even after finishing, she continues to check it to make sure she did not miss anything. Big enough for dog to move around with paw.It has held up very well over time, and I have had it for several years.What I like:Keeps dogs engaged and mentally stimulatedEncourages problem-solvingDurable and long lastingNot overly noisyThings to be aware of:Dogs will get faster with useOverall:This is a great enrichment toy that provides long-term value and keeps dogs entertained.

My dog loves this toy! We give it to him as we leave for the day to keep him busy for a bit. He figured it out pretty fast but that's okay, he still enjoys it. He's a 16 pound cavalier and he does like to chew on the white bone inserts so I would only recommend for smaller dogs.

I absolutely love the Outward Hound by Nina Ottosson Challenge Slider dog puzzle. I’ve had this since 2021, and it has held up incredibly well over the years.It’s been fantastic for both my dog and for entertaining guests. Watching him figure out the puzzle is fun for everyone. The design is sturdy and durable, and it has held up great with regular use. One thing I really appreciate is that it doesn’t squeak, and my dog hasn’t been able to chew it up like some other toys.It’s also really helpful for slowing down his eating. My dog tends to eat too fast, which isn’t great for him, so using this puzzle makes him work for the treats and naturally slows him down.He actually figured it out pretty quickly, and his little squishy face fits perfectly into the squares to get the treats out.The only minor issue I’ve had is that one of the small slider pieces detached once, but it was easy to pop back into place and hasn’t been a recurring problem.Overall, this has been a durable, fun, and enriching toy that we’ve gotten years of use out of. Definitely one of my favorite dog purchases.

Our 5-month labrador is super Happy after he got to play with this. He was done quite fast but his behavior to play and how learned was impressive.

Brinquedo inteligente e anti stress

Kul grej! Men som med alla Nina Ottosson-pussel är kanterna vassa. Har man en hund som jobbar snabbt och kan bli lite ivrig kan de skära sig på underkanten av varje våning.

Utmanande för hunden

Perfect toy for both dog and the owner
