Outward HoundNina Ottosson Wobble Bowl Dog Game -Interactive Slow Feeder Bowl Dog Game

We have a mini dachshund puppy and he loves this thing. We chooses to eat out of this rather than his bowl if given the choice. He figured it out in about 2 minutes but we are three weeks in and he still loves it so fair enough.

My dog loves playing with this ball whether it's empty or full of dry treats. It's just too big to get in the mouth of a small cocker, but she can eventually pick it up if she gets a tooth in a hole. Consequently she'll spend ages trying to trap/control it - very funny.The holes are a good size so that treats don't come out too easily and maintains her attention. Filled with kibble it extends feeding time, especially if on the lawn.It's sturdy enough to withstand a hammering. The Kong Wobbled (also brilliant) got very scruffed on outside paving, this didn't scuff at all.

Really brilliant quality, well made an durable. My dog took a bit of time to figure it out but now she is pretty adept at getting her food from it. I still use it as it still makes feeding time more interesting and challenging.

this is very sturdy and a nice toy which I bought to give my lazy dog something to occupy her but, hey ho, she couldn't be bothered with it and it takes way too much hard work for a rescue greyhound's mind to work out how to get the treats out of the holes.So this lovely playball sits lonely & sad behind the chair in the lounge just longing for another dog with a small iota of intelligence and enthusiasm to come and play

1) Product specification. Bought the green, circular toy with sliding cups and fishtails and a rotating central disc to cover the holes. Packaging says that you can lock the disc with the fishtails, but... you can't - it still spins freely with the fishtails in any position - but you can lock it if you leave a cup inside the one notch on the disc. So maybe that's what they meant, otherwise, the product isn't being manufactured to proper specifications!2) Robustness. Dog is a border collie, so I bought this one even though we haven't tried any of the other puzzles, because reviews said collies solved those within minutes (which I'd expect... they're very clever dogs). Possibly I over-estimated his skill, but he isn't stupid, he just knows that if I let him, he could lever the central disc off with his teeth and get at the treats that way... So you definitely should not leave your dog alone with this puzzle for even a second! Also it wouldn't be great as a training tool, because if your dog isn't already obedient to being called off, it will wreck it within seconds. But it's a nice little diversion.3) Treat extraction. I used very small treats at first (because I don't want to overfeed him) but he discovered immediately that he can curl his tongue right under the edge of the disc and extract them that way, which would be the same for peanut butter, so I advise that it works better with larger treats! Also don't use little flat disc treats because they can get stuck in the groove that runs around below the disc and require extraction with a spoon handle.4) Puzzle solution. Putting treats under the cups so they have to be slid over the holes works well, although I'm not sure if he's actually worked that out or it just happens naturally as he snuffles for the treats. The fishtails are free-spinning at all points but do need to be moved out of the way to uncover the outer treat holes, so they add a little extra challenge. Turning the central disc is so far proving a major challenge. It's a little stiff, and he wants to use his nose and tongue rather than his paws, so I think that might be causing some of the trouble, but he also clearly doesn't understand what he has to do - yet. I'm hopeful we'll get there eventually though, and at least it means he hasn't solved the whole puzzle at once!Overall, the puzzle is well made (apart from the odd inability to lock the central wheel the way it describes) and sturdy, except that the average dog's jaws can get through marrowbones, so 'sturdy' does not equate to 'indestructible' and (I repeat) you really must not leave your dog alone with this, like the packaging warns. It's a bit of a faff to wash clean, because of all the sliding parts, but it does rinse and drain well.Dog loves it - well, he loves finding the treats - to be honest I think he'd have just as much fun, and use about as much brainpower, hunting for treats under upturned cups like in the 'find the lady' street hustler trick, so whether we've wasted our money remains to be seen; if he can just work out what's required to move that central wheel! (To be fair to my dog, he is medicated for epilepsy and probably stoned out of his gourd half the time, which doesn't help.) So it's not a terrible product... but I'm less satisfied with it than I'd hoped. I think I should probably use it daily to help him learn. You could use it more often if your dog eats kibble (just use some of his daily food ration) but mine has rice for dietary purposes so kibble is out.

Dog liked it

Great puzzle, nice and sturdy, a lot bigger than I thought it would be! Our 15 week old German Shorthair Pointer loves it but figured it out in a couple of minutes so easily cleared the treats. Top tip, if you have a more intelligent breed, start with a harder puzzle!

The media could not be loaded.  I bought this as my dog is unable to go off lead as she has an injury. However if you look at the picture when ordering it shows 4 littleClips which then makes it more advanced therefore harder for the dog. When it arrived although same colours etc this wasn’t the one as advertised so I ordered another one. The second arrived same as the first so I called Amazon and explained. I’m guessing they’ve had an incorrect delivery at somePoint. Anyway they offered to refund me half of the cost and sent a voucher to return one of them. You do have to watch your dog with it as mine managed to pull out all the orange stoppers once she had found all the food!! It can also be quite noisy when the dog is pawing away at it so not ideal if your watching tv also!!!!! On the whole I’m pleased with it especially as I had it for half price!! My dog loves it although she gets frustrated!!
