About Outward Hound Puzzle Toys for Dogs

Healthy Playtime Problem Solving

Did you know that 15 minutes of mental exercise can have a similar effect on your dog’s emotional well-being as 30 minutes of physical exercise? Dogs love to explore and problem solve and will use their noses and paws as tools. Each Nina Ottoson puzzle toy game is designed with your dog’s natural behaviors, senses and safety in mind.

Reduce Unwanted Behaviors

Setting your dog to work on a puzzle or game helps focus his attention and energy. This mental redirection can help reduce boredom, anxiety and destructive behaviors, too. Try using puzzle toys to distract your dog from fireworks, thunderstorms and other stressful situations.

Four Levels of Play

All dogs are different. That’s why each treat puzzle toy was designed with a different level of difficulty—to please dogs of all skill levels, whether they are beginners or puzzle-solving pros. Start by choosing a level that suits your pup’s skill set and level up as he learns!

Level 1

Perfect for beginners, these puzzles help gain interest and prepare dogs for puzzles to come.

Level 2

Features added obstacles, requiring your dog to combine actions to retrieve each tasty reward.

Level 3

These advanced puzzles challenge your dog to complete several steps in order to reach the hidden treats.

Level 4

This is the hardest level and requires multiple steps and problem-solving skills to solve!

For Bonding and Training

Nina Ottosson puzzle games are a great way to build your relationship with a newly adopted dog or help a shy dog come out of his shell. You can also use puzzles to help train your dog and practice basic commands like “sit” and “stay”.

Straightforward puzzle toys that Berkley can brute-force his way through (via nose or paw) are his favorite, so with it being time to move up to Level 3 toys, I thought this would be a nice one for him... boy, was I wrong. While Berkley understood the "outer" portion just fine, the inner wheel left him stumped; he quickly grew bored of the traditional method, and resolved himself to licking underneath the wheel with enough persistence that he could pull the treats out. His brother, Cocoa, luckily understood the middle mechanism and slowly works his way through it, so not a complete waste! Otherwise, the toy is very durable, and large!

We've had a much easier puzzle toy for years, but our current dogs needed a more difficult challenge. This one is working out well! The wheel that can be added or removed to make the puzzle harder or easier is very convenient, and the steps required for the dogs to figure it out have been keeping them busy! The toy is also well constructed. It's sturdy on both hard floors and on carpet. It's easy to fill and easy to swipe clean if there's been more drool or crumbs than usual. Our dogs are small, about fifteen pounds, and their paws and noses do not have a problem using any of the parts.

This puzzle is great becuase you can change the difficulty depending on how quickly your dog gets it. It provides multistep problem solving, it's very sturdy and well made. Stands up to all the frustration snouting, biting, and foot action. Great for my houdini foxhound who isn't even really that food motivated and loves a challenge whether it be toy or fence.

Definitely more difficult than the previous step! I liked the option to use without the center dial because the girls had a tough time on the first go-round. I removed the dial for our second try and they learned the easier parts. Put it back on today to increase the degree of difficulty and they started to understand. Great fun for a cold winter day!

Unfortunately our 10 month old lab pulled the center ring out of this puzzle. I’m bummed because it’s a cool design, and definitely challenging for him! Hopefully another design will work better. We love the level 2 slider one that’s similar to this, and nothing has broken on that one.

My trainer told me my poodle needed a ton of mental stimulation so this is one of the “intelligence toys” I got her. Both my months old puppy and my senior dog love it and get super excited every time I take it out. Even though they’ve mastered it, they still love go play with it and if keeps them busy for a while. This is one of three intelligence puzzles we have and it’s the best one.
