TRIXIE Gambling Tower Dog Enrichment Toy, Intermediate Level 2 Dog Puzzle, Interactive Treat Game

My dog is always excited when he sees me preparing this for him, it’s one of the few puzzles that keeps him busy for more than a few minutes. I love that it comes with different lids for different difficulty levels and has held up extremely well after lots of use. It’s very easy to take apart which makes cleaning very easy.

Like the simple way it works. My American Cocker Spaniel loves smacking the beekers to get all his rewards. Easy enough to learn. He will go smack it to let me know it's empty and he wants to play at anytime of the day.

Toy is fun but not super durable for big dogs. My 90lb sheepadoodle loved it but wasn't quite smart enough for the puzzle so he destroyed it pretty quick. However, he still carries it around as a chew toy so worth the price.

This toy is very entertaining. I'll admit it took me a minute to figure out. My dog was pretty good at it. Which finally proves- she's not dumb, she's just incredibly stubborn. It has multiple difficult puzzles that actually take her a second to complete unlike most puzzle toys. And you can switch up the puzzle and the difficulty which is great!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:My cat has zero interest in this puzzle feeder. There's no difference between the cat and dog construction. Apparently thie motion needed to push essentially a pill bottle over a pivot doesn't come naturally to my cat. Another model comes with what looks like upside down golf tees glued underneath. The maze of tees might catch more kibble as it falls, otherwise you need a silicone feeder mat that extends as far as kibble will bounce to contain all the pieces. The feeder comes with a disk with a larger opening presumably as a training mode for the animal to realize kibble is stored and waiting. (The feeder would be very easy to build from scratch with pill bottles, dowels and a catching mat. Possibly adjusting the height of the puzzle might prompt an animal's response. Or maybe the worlds finest treat.)

I'm surprised how good this works to slow down my fast eating puppy. Toward the end, she starts to get upset and wants to find the treats or dry food. At that point it's no longer a fun toy but a mission, haha! That's when I jump in and help her out. It's fun doing this with her. I can see we will continue to use this for ever how long it last. It's a pretty good design. Very pleased. We don't use it every day but will use a few times a week.

The media could not be loaded. So fun! A great way to keep the puppy occupied and engaged for a little bit. It took her about 5 minutes to reveal all the treats. This is not her first toy like this though, so she has had some practice on an easier one first.I had to speed up the video x2 to make it small enough to upload, so I'm sorry for that! It did remove the audio. It's a pretty quiet game except for cheering on the puppy and congratulating their successes.The directions do say to begin and end with signal phrases, to initiate play and then to release them / finish the activity. And of course to praise your dog a bunch throughout to make it a positive experience. At the end finishing with a final treat to quietly punctuate the end of the game.For under $10, this is a fun activity to bond with your dog, and IMO is totally worth it. We will use it many times just as we did the one before.

We got this to prevent our doxie from eating too fast and choking on her food (the regular slow eater bowls did not work), and it did a great job of slowing her down. Highly recommend for fast eaters! It’s also hilarious watching her constantly tip the jars for the food to sprinkle on the ground. Hehe
