Outward Hound Dog Brick Treat Dispensing Puzzle Toy by Nina Ottosson | Interactive Brain & Exercise Game for Dogs | Level 2 Intermediate | Encourages Mental Stimulation & Slow Feeding

My 10 year old GSD needed help with this only the first time. I now give both his meals in this, it works as a slow feeder, gives him a challenge, makes him more self confident, too. If I leave him with this when I leave home, his anxiety seems much lower. It takes him less than 10 mins to find all the kibble or treats and is relaxed and exhausted after it. He’s learnt to use his nose, paws and teeth to find and reach all the treats. His “hand-eye” coordination has improved significantly. Planning to go for difficulty level 4 once he’s aced this. The quality is the same as a child’s toy, they haven’t compromised on the material. The design is done keeping in mind a dog’s instincts and challenging their capabilities appropriately. Gna be using these games for all future dogs. Size and difficulty is correct for dogs of any kind or age.

Our dog had never had one and she’s 12 years old. Caught on quickly. I feel though that it’s meant more for big dogs.

This is an amazing product My boxer dogs love it, they were a bit confused at the beginning but now they are enjoying it.

Dogs have enjoyed it thoroughly, excellent make

Awesome .nice

​最初は戸惑っていましたが、おやつが入っていると分かると一生懸命スライドしたりフタを開けたりして遊んでいます。 ​単純な「転がすだけ」のタイプとは違い、「フタを開ける」「スライドさせる」「骨を外す」という3段階のステップがあるので、飽きずに長く遊べています。早食い防止にもなりますし、雨の日や外に出られない時のストレス解消にぴったりです！

My dog really really enjoys this. It is the right balance of fun and engagement without being frustrating (my dog gives up on the Kong wobbler but goes all the way to finish this puzzle). I understand the negative reviews here about choking hazards, plastic pieces breaking up, the toy cannot be left unsupervised etc... but it is unfair to rate this puzzle in that way. You ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO supervise this puzzle like a hawk and teach your dog the main objective of the game, which is to get the treats, not chew up the loose pieces. On my dog’s first try, he flipped the loose bone and took off with it immediately. We took the loose piece away and led him back to the puzzle. On the second try, he snapped the red caps and started chewing on it. We immediately intervened and brought his attention back to the puzzle. Now he gets, but we still standby to remove any loose pieces so his attention doesn’t wander to them. This is a 5 star toy if you know how to direct you dog the right way. It needs constant supervision. The loose pieces have to be removed immediately once they have served their purposes. It makes my dog’s meals super fun.

🐶🧩 I originally purchased the Outward Hound by Nina Ottosson Dog Brick (Level 2) two years ago as a Christmas gift for my puppies, and it remains one of the best enrichment investments I’ve made. If you’re looking for a way to keep your dogs mentally sharp, this is a must-have for your toy box. ✅ Why This Puzzle is a Keeper: • Universal Appeal Across Breeds: What impressed me most is how this toy bridges the gap between different sizes and temperaments. It was a perfect, engaging challenge for my toy breed puppy, yet it also completely occupied an energetic Beagle who had never tried a puzzle toy before. It’s rare to find one design that suits both so well. • Lasting Engagement: Even though my dogs have now progressed to more complex Level 3 and Level 4 "Expert" puzzles (like the MultiPuzzle), the Dog Brick remains a firm favourite. They still get excited every time I bring it out, proving that "intermediate" doesn't mean they'll outgrow the fun. • Smart "Nose Work" Design: The puzzle features three mechanics: flip-top lids, sliding red blocks, and removable white bones. I love that the white bone bricks have tiny scent holes - this allows the dogs to smell exactly where the treats are, keeping them motivated and focused on the task. • The Perfect 3-in-1 Challenge: The design features three distinct obstacles: flip-lid compartments, sliding tiles, and removable bone bricks. It keeps them guessing and using their nose and paws in different ways to find their rewards. • Proven Durability: After two years of frequent use, it’s still in great shape. It has provided hours of engagement, making it a high value-for-money investment. The weak point are the plastic bones, which could easily be mangled by an enthusiastic chewer so I recommend vigilance on the part of pet guardians. The plastic case is sturdy and, most importantly, easy to clean. I just hand wash it with warm, soapy water after a session, and it’s ready for the next day. • Safe Materials: As a cautious pet owner, I appreciate that it’s made from food-safe materials and is BPA, PVC, and phthalate-free. I don't love plastic toys, but no reasonable alternatives come to mind for this particular puzzle. 💡Helpful Tips for Pet Parents • Because this is an intermediate toy, some dogs might try to chew the removable white bones. I recommend supervising them during play and removing the toy once the treats are gone to ensure it stays in good condition. • If your dog is a "puzzle pro" and finds this too easy, try the "Frozen Puzzle" trick! Mix some wet food with water or bone broth, pour it into the compartments, and freeze it. This turns a 10-minute game into a much longer-lasting summer treat! ✅ Final Verdict: Two years later, this remains a staple in our home. Whether you have a tiny toy breed or a determined hound, this puzzle is a fantastic way to bond and provide necessary mental stimulation. Highly recommended for any dog's collection! 🐾❤️
