Highlighted Reviews
"Good for starters. I have always been a firm believer in puzzles for dogs esp the smart high energy breeds like my pitbull. He got it a lot quicker then my other dogs so now we are doing hide the treat in 1 spot. My only complaint is it's to easy but, I believe that's how it's suppose to be."
"I bought this puzzle to entertain and keep my by now 5 mo old puppy busy. She figured It out on the first try. It takes her 25 sec flat to find and eat treats in all chambers. My dog is definitely smarter than the puzzle. Probably wouldn't buy it again."
