SPOT Ethical Pet Interactive Seek-A-Treat Flip 'N Flap Bone Dog Toy Puzzle That Will Improve Your Dog's IQ. Specially Designed for Dog Training Treats., Multicolor; 1.65 pounds (5652)

I love it, but don't love it because my dog figured it out after a maybe 4 times and now it takes mere seconds to open all the flaps. So now this "keep him busy for a little bit" toy lasts about as long as it takes me to wash my hands after putting the treats in there.He never used his feet on the first few times and it was sad. Then after leaving him when it was almost dinner time (motivated by the hunger) he stopped his usual giving up and walking away thing that he does and actually clawed at it.Slips on the carpet which works to their advantage as it opens up the flaps if they push it a certain direction.It is pretty sturdy, maybe made of plywood/particle board or something, but his teeth took out the bone shaped sliders a little bit the first time he figured it out. Now he uses his nose for that part. I think a chewer could take this thing apart easily, my dog is not a chewer.It would be nice to be able to modify the toy somehow to challenge the dog more after they have figured it out.Hard to clean if you use slightly greasy/oily treats. The top is varnished, but the places where the treats are are not, which gives them the opportunity to soak up treat oils.

My dog Einstein has every dog puzzle made! He loves all of this toys and this one is no exception.It took him longer to figure this out out than his other toys, and that's a good thing. He's a smart puggle and if treats are involved, he'll keep at it until he figures it out! I go through a lot of treats with easier puzzles. Thankfully, he thinks frozen mixed vegetables are a treat, so at least it's healthy!It took him just over 10 minutes to solve the puzzle, and tried to "cheat" along the way. Using wheels to make the flaps go up is genius and I honestly didn't think he'd figure it out. Here's a quick video of him figuring it out:[...]I mentioned that I wished it was plastic, like his other puzzles. This is pressed wood and I don't think the wheel mechanism will hang in there for very long because he uses his teeth to try to get the wheels to turn.Other than that, I'd highly recommend this toy if you have a smart pup!

Our dog has gone through her share of thinking toys like the bees in the hive and the birds in the bird house. In addition to getting those types of toys out very easily, she will also remove all the stuffing and render it useless after a short amount of time. With this toy however we have high hopes that we can alternate it into her thinking games for a long time. When I first set it up I put a toy in every slot including the one circular opening that will remain uncovered. The uncovered one was he first she went for and she sniffed around at all the others. Honestly she lost interest initially so I sat with her and showed her how to push around the covers and praised her as she got it right. This type of a toy requires more serious thinking than burrowing or throwing it about so if your dog's attention is limited or if they are not treat driven this may not be a toy to consider

This puzzle was a ton of fun and my Chinese Crested puppy, Gus, loved it. He spent loads of time working out how to make the lids move just the right way to get to his favorite treats. It got easier and easier for him over time, obviously, so it was a little bit short-lived, in terms of longevity.It's made from a recycled material, I think, and we found that if we left it on the floor, after awhile, he liked to chew on the doors, and getting them wet meant they were easily mangled.TIP: we discovered that picking it up and keeping it from him for awhile kind of made him forget how to work it, so when we gave it back, it was "new" again.

The big problem with this toy is that it's made out of particle board. We've used a variety of puzzle toys with our 70-lb Doberman mix, and they have kept him amused and motivated. This one, however, is clearly not made to take much punishment. Since most of the puzzles he's solved have been food-ball style, he began by trying to push this one around on the floor. When that got no result, he picked it up and tossed it, which after a few tries released a treat or two. A good strategy for him, perhaps, but you may not want this rather heavy toy to keep hitting your floor. When a few more drops didn't produce more food, and he could still smell a treat inside, he decided to dismantle the toy by chewing it open. After he had begun to remove small chunks of the toy (almost immediately), we took it away. It wouldn't have held up for long. In fact, even without the aggressive chewing, I wonder whether the little door flaps would take rough treatment.The other issue is that there are only a few small treat compartments. In the event that your dog figured out how to open these the way they are supposed to be opened, it looks like it would take a very short time to get them open. You could add more food and re-close the toy, but this wouldn't keep the dog occupied by himself for very long.I'd suggest this toy only for smaller dogs that are inquisitive but not aggressive chewers.

Our doggos love this, not sure it makes them smarter but it's fun to watch them have to work for their treats. It's thick sturdy wood, and has definitely survived their pounces, paw swipes, and bites (70lb and 80lb dogs) one of the parts that slides has never slid very well and usually gets stuck, but it's still great and loved.

My husky mix has not been able to figure this out very well. We have used it several times and even showed him ow to open doors, but his solution is to just attempt to chew them open. This might be a better toy for a smarter dog or a more treat motivated one as mine is low in that area. He prefers athletic play outside.

Great puzzle, I would say it falls into the “challenging” set, as far as how difficult it is. The sliders don’t move easily and the flaps are difficult to master. I have two dogs with VERY different approaches to this one: slow & methodical vs brute force. WARNING: Even with supervision, my dog managed to chew it to pieces after only a few uses. The “wood” is soft and easily destroyed. This one is NOT DURABLE at all.

Works good but if your pup has strong paws it will damage the toy.Also if they are the type of pup that is like “screw it I’ll just chew it” I recommend to watch them while they are using it.Both my pups love them.

7 minutes after putting it on the floor it was so badly damaged I had to take it away for fear of my dog breaking of a piece and choking on it. It’s made of some sort of varnished compressed cardboard material that soaks up the dogs saliva and swells (hard to tell from the picture but the rotating nob is soft and mushy). Pretty useless.

Le jouet ne loge pas assez de friandises et es trop facile. Ça a pris moins de 2 minutes à mon chien de 3 mois à tout manger. Dès qu’il a eu fini, il a détruit une des « portes » et la mordant ! Après deux utilisations, le jouet est bon pour les vidanges. Très déçue.

It was made of a thick particle board.My dogs destroyed it/chewed it. I probably should have grabbed it when they were done. But at the same time, it’s for dogs and used with treats. I would have hoped it was a little more sturdy.
