Pawbie-approved ✓ Treats taste better when you've earned them. Ask any pawbie.
Nina Ottosson puzzles hide treats under pegs, drawers and sliders. Your pet sniffs, paws and nudges to find each one, which is a great workout for the brain.
Why we love it
-
Real brain work. Pets use their nose and paws to solve each step and earn the treat.
-
Three levels. Start easy and move up as your pet gets better at it.
-
Good for any age. A gentle way to keep older pets busy when long walks are behind them.
-
Easy to clean. Wash with warm water and mild soap.
-
Safer materials. Food-safe and free from BPA, PVC and phthalates.
The puzzles
-
Dog Smart (Level 1, beginner): nine treat holes under nine pegs with scent holes. One step to each treat, the best place to start.
-
Dog Brick (Level 2, intermediate): flip open the lids, slide the sliders and lift the bone covers. You can make it easier or harder.
-
Dog Casino (Level 3, advanced): six treat drawers locked by twisting bones. Pets learn to do the steps in order.
How to use
-
Show your pet the puzzle and let them watch you hide a treat or two.
-
Start with the pieces easy to move, then make it harder as they learn.
-
Use small treats or kibble from their daily food.
-
Put the puzzle away after play.
Safety and care
-
Always supervise play. Outward Hound says no toy is indestructible.
-
Remove and replace the puzzle if it gets damaged.
-
Wash by hand with warm water and mild soap.
