I must admit that I thought this would be something that my dogs would sniff around for a bit and then give up on, but I was more than pleasantly surprised. I used very small bits of salmon jerky as the treat inside. I wanted to use something high value that they would ONLY get in this particular toy, and something that they could really smell (salmon jerky stinks, y'all). It took them a little bit (about ten minutes) to work out the fact that they needed to move it around and the threats would magically and randomly appear, but once they figured it out it was game on!! I've never seen a toy that keeps them occupied and busy for such an extended period of time, and the best part is that it stimulates their brains as well as making them move around. My Boston Terrier will literally play with this for an hour before she passes out in exhaustion.

They say that a bored dog is a bad dog. Well, there are no more bored dogs in my house.

It's easy to clean, too. I just run hot, soapy water through the holes, and it's good as new.

I'm going to give one of these to every person I know who gets a new dog. (Unless they buy a puppy from a petstore. Then I'm going to stop being their friend, period)

This toy is sturdy and durable, it is not so hard to get the treats out, I bought it because of the size, I thought that it would keep my GSD busy longer. I already have the busy buddy twist and treat, which actually keeps her busy longer because you can adjust the toy for the size of treats you are using. I placed some kibble in the Ottosson Maze and they came out very easily, so it wasnt a lot of work for her. I gave 5 stars because of the construction and size of the toy, but the difficutly level is more of a one star. I probably wont get another.

I should have read more 1and 2-star reviews and fewer reviews about how great the product is. If your dog is a chewer/gnawer, this game is not for them. After one 10-minute session with 4 or 5 treats inside, my dog -who has gnawed through more than her fair share of twisted rope toys and will chew at her Kong for minutes on end -tattered the blue rubberish lining around the edge and left deep teeth gouge marks all over the red plastic. She won't get this back again, as I'm certain another 10 minutes with it would have her tearing it completely to bits. I'm sure it's great for dogs who will just nose and roll and play with it, but this one was not for me.

I actually bought the cat version of this toy since it's the same size as the small dog version but a little cheaper and I liked the colors better. I'm really pleased with this toy and my dog loves it! It can be noisy, particularly when filled with hard kibble and/or used on a hard surface. The noise did scare my dog at first but after working with her and a bit of encouragement she eventually got it and now it's her favorite toy!

If you know your dog is a chewer and you want toys to keep them occupied while you're gone you should probably look at a different product, like stuffable KONGs. It is made of plastic that could easily be destroyed by chewing. That being said, this toy is not meant for use without supervision. It does come with instructions for teaching your dog how to properly play with the toy, which will tell you it's meant for manipulation with paws or a nose.

Think about what your dog needs in a toy and if this toy would fit their needs. Are you willing to spend time to teach your pet how to use the toy and supervise them while they play with it? If its a good fit you will have a new favorite toy :)
