The media could not be loaded.  The video is our long haired chihuahua for size reference! She is about 4.5kg. Takes her about 10 minutes to get everything by herself and she loves it, she often makes it really obvious she wants us to fill it! Every day actually! She enjoys the actual game as it doesn’t need to be filled with treats only kibble. She’s getting a pro at it, I wish there was another one to move on to!About two weeks now of daily use and no marks at all, so for little dogs it’s perfect, as you can see in the video she’s not gentle with it, although she isn’t a destructive dog at all.

The media could not be loaded.  I've got a very clever miniature poodle (he's a Registered Assistance Dog for me) and I like to keep him stimulated. I had put this away for a future present but with having to shield, I thought I'd see how he gets on with it as he enjoys the spinning feeder but he's bored by it. He adores treats (due to severe allergies only the dog chocolate drops are ok for him - I got a big supply cheaply from Amazon too). So I thought I'd put a very small treat in each space, see what happens. The video is the FIRST time I gave it to him. He got the last treat out 10 seconds after I stopped filming. Took him 5 mins 15 seconds to get every treat out. Next day, I showed it to my friend, who helps to walk him while I'm shielding. She got dogs too. As I got it out,,my dog's face lit up and I knew then he loves it. Third time he used it, he picked up with his mouth, all the little white bricks and put them into a neat pile! I was amazed. Also 3rd time, he used much smaller neater movements to open it up and slide the little tubs. I've ordered more toys similar to these. Such good fun for both of us. I cut down on his foods bit cos of the treats involved! He will get this 2-3 times a week and I will make it harder by reducing the number of treats so some of the spaces will be empty, make it more challenging. This toy is suitable for dogs who like to think, not attack. Nit suitable for boisterous dogs who destroy things quickly and please play under supervision because some dogs may chew the bricks. But if you have a clever dog who likes to work things out, this is super! I'm going to try him on some of the Trixie Level 3 toys. By the way it stays fairly well in place on a rug or mat or carpet, doesn't move or slide around much.

BE WARNED,This is a good toy but my 4month old border collie puppy had the 6 rubber feet off In 5 mins which he managed to swallow! I was with him and did not realise until the next morning when he vomited 5 rubber feet up. The 6th arrived 48 hrs later in his stools. They are not small, hard rubber bungs. I was shocked and disappointed. I have informed the company, only reply is they are sorry my dog didn’t enjoy it?! Not impressed!

I bought this for my nine-month old Border Collie, a clever and easily bored breed of dog! At first he was a bit scared of it and although I showed him how it worked, he left it in the middle of the room for a couple of hours. Curiosity got the better of him and although I had put two of the white bricks in, it didn’t take him more than a couple of minutes to work it out. A bit frustrating at first and he tried to eat the bricks! By the third try he pretty much had it worked out but it keeps him occupied checking that he’s found everything. People may be concerned about the number of treats given but I put slices of carrot, broccoli, etc., in there, which he likes. The instructions suggest putting string through the holes in the bricks. I did so and the dog did use it sometimes. If you’re going to suggest that though, manufacturer, perhaps put a length of string in the box. It adds to the cost to buy some.

My 45kg German Shepherd loves this. He works it out really quickly but that doesn’t seem to matter as he still is super excited to have it filled again. The bones are a good size so shouldn’t be accidentally swallowed by a large dog. We’ve had this a few months now and it still looks likes new, it’s very hard wearing, and my dog is far from gentle with it.

This is one of several dog puzzles I’ve purchased to keep my 10 week-old Border Collie puppy entertained, and the third one I have from Outward Hound. The Outward Hound Brick Puzzle is a higher-level challenge than most others and requires a greater degree of problem solving. Essentially there are eight red boxes that have lids that open upwards and also slide towards the centre of the game but cannot be removed, and four white coloured bricks that can be lifted out by the dog. The problem solving comes in that to enable the eight red bricks to slide the white bricks must first have been removed.It took my pup just over 10 minutes to work the game out at the first attempt, and did miss a couple. The second time it was down to about 5 minutes, and within 48 hours she was doing it in about 2 minutes. She can do it now in about 90 seconds, but it gives her a good mental workout each time so I’m pleased with the puzzle. It’s challenging enough to slow down most breeds of dog, and even the criminal genius of a Border Collie has to think about it. I would imagine though some dogs may get easily frustrated and I could see it being picked up and thrown around in frustration.The build quality is very good, and I like the fact that the lids to the boxes are removable on the hinges otherwise they could be broken off easily by the dog if a single moulded component and that would be game over. There’s plenty of room for lots of treats and I think that there is considerable replay value.

My dog wasnt impressed that he had to work for his treats but I enjoyed watching him. Not sure he's ever going to be clever enough to figure out how it works he just scratches at it and dances around until he can get his nose in a gap. Tried it with the white difficulty covers and he just looked at me like I was the worst human ever and spent a good few minutes barking at them until I'd heard enough and gave in
