Outward Hound by Nina Ottosson Dog Tornado – Interactive Treat Puzzle Enrichment Toy, 3 Spinning Layers, Level 2 Intermediate

My dog is a true sweetheart, but she's also a fast eater and a very aggressive chewer, so I wanted a puzzle toy that would allow her to use some of her thinking skills, along with it being sturdy enough to handle the power behind her teeth and nails. The Outward Hound Dog Tornado Treat Puzzle Dog Toy works wonderfully, providing a high Activity level and fun Playability!! Granted, although it doesn't take my dog very long to get to the treats -- I typically only place one small treat at a time in the different puzzle bins -- it still makes her have to use her smarts to get to the covered goodies. Having three layers to this puzzle makes it even greater, because the different layers rotate around without the treats just spilling out. As I mentioned before, my dog is an aggressive chewer and I caught her chewing on one of white bin covers while I was refilling the bins, so you should watch your dog the entire time they're playing with this! The puzzle can get noisy when your dog moves the layers around to get to the treats, but I expected that. The toy colors are bright and stimulating. As for the smell, I clean the empty puzzle bins, the bin tops, and all three layers of the toy after each use, because slobber is a byproduct of the play. For me, this Dog Tornado Treat Puzzle Dog Toy is far beyond a great Value for the money, because of its very low price, especially compared to some other puzzle treat toys, it’s sturdiness, and it's fun and reusability!!!

This is one of my dog’s favorite puzzles. He even brought it to me the other day. Even my old dogs love this one. It takes a bit of thinking (or luck) to get all the treats but is satisfying for them. Moving on to the next level but often step back to this one to enhance his fun.

This treat puzzle is well-made and works as advertised, but our Frenchie Charlie found it a little too easy. He's a very smart dog and had all the treats out in under 10 minutes, so it didn't provide the long-term enrichment challenge I was hoping for, but it was fun for him. The quality is solid and the puzzle mechanism works smoothly, so it's not a knock on the product itself. It would probably be perfect for dogs new to puzzle toys or less food-motivated pups. For really smart or experienced puzzle dogs like Charlie, you'll want to move up to a more advanced level pretty quickly. Still a decent toy, just know your dog's skill level before purchasing.

Our 9 week old Bernese Mt Dog loves this enrichment activity. Great for her sniffing, seek and find, and lots of mental stimulation. It’s flexible enough that we can vary the way she has to find the rewards. Please note I do not recommend letting pup use this unsupervised. They can pull the flaps off (which is totally fine) but puppy shark teeth could end up making the flaps a chew toy. That said the toy is made really well and is holding up to extensive biting. Glad we got this!!

Very cute. My dog loves it. Took her a couple of times to get the hang of it. I thought it might be to big for my dog but it isn't. Good quality, looks like it will last a long time. The squirrels could be sown better. I have a hard time getting the squirrels in because of arthritis but if was easier than it would be easier for my dog too.

I’ve been using this puzzle since my dog was a puppy (she's 3 now), and while it has a lot of positive aspects, there are a few things that could be improved. Pros: Slows Down Mealtime: This puzzle is perfect for slowing down my dog while she eats. Instead of inhaling her food in seconds, it makes her work for her treats, which is great for digestion and mental stimulation. Keeps My Dog Entertained: My dog really enjoys solving this puzzle. It keeps her engaged for a good while, and I love that it provides a healthy outlet for her energy and curiosity. She has to figure out how to lift flaps and slide pieces to get to the food. Cons: The White "Bone" Pieces Are a Mess: I didn’t like how the little white bone-shaped pieces keep falling out of the puzzle. They just go everywhere, and after a few uses, I decided to throw them out entirely. It was more hassle than it was worth to keep them. Flaps Are Easy for My Dog to Pull Off: My dog quickly figured out how to pull off the top flaps that cover the treat compartments. While I can still use the puzzle without the flaps, it was frustrating at times when she would easily rip them off, especially during the early stages of using it. Durability Issues with Chewing: When my dog was a puppy, she chewed one of the puzzle pieces, which caused a little bit of damage. While you can still use everything, I wasn’t thrilled about the chewing. So, if you have a dog prone to chewing, be cautious about leaving them unattended with this puzzle. Takes a While to Dry: It’s great that this puzzle is dishwasher-safe, but it does take quite a while to dry completely, especially in the compartments where the treats go. You’ll need to let it sit for a bit before using it again, which is a little inconvenient when you’re in a hurry. Overall Thoughts: The Outward Hound Nina Ottosson Dog Brick Puzzle has definitely earned its place in my dog’s enrichment rotation. It’s fantastic for slowing down mealtime and providing her with some mental stimulation, which is especially important for high-energy dogs. However, the white bone pieces were a hassle, and the flaps didn’t hold up well for my dog. Still, it’s a fun and useful puzzle overall, and I’ll continue to use it in the mix with her other toys.

Easy to use. If I put something smelly in the holes, my dog can even figure it out! Easy to clean. Quality is excellent.

​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！

Brinquedo inteligente e anti stress

Really well made and durable. Our Aussie Shepherd 3 month old puppy loves it even though he worked it all out nearly immediately. We still set it up for him even though he races through it. Very impressed with the brand and we have since purchased more difficult puzzles from the same line.

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.

Perfect toy for both dog and the owner
