Interactive Dog Puzzle Toy Outward Hound Nina Ottosson Smart — model 67331, treat-dispensing activity game

The Outward Hound Nina Ottosson Smart interactive dog puzzle toy is a treat-dispensing activity game designed to provide mental stimulation and slow down fast eaters. This model features multiple compartments and movable pieces that conceal treats, requiring dogs to nudge, slide or lift components to access rewards. Constructed for regular household use, the puzzle supports training sessions and enrichment activities for adult and young dogs to help reduce boredom and encourage problem-solving behavior.

Advantages

The puzzle toy promotes cognitive engagement by combining hidden compartments with sliding and lifting elements to challenge a dog’s sense of smell and dexterity. It helps slow rapid eating and encourages slower, more deliberate feeding. The design is durable for repeated interactive play and easy to pair with standard-sized soft or dry treats. The toy is compatible with supervised solo play and structured training routines.

How to use

Place small portions of treats in the compartments and assemble the puzzle according to the visible guides so pieces move freely.

Supervise initial sessions and gradually increase difficulty by using more closed positions or smaller treat portions. Clean the toy after use following the manufacturer’s care instructions.

Usage recommendations

Use the puzzle during supervised play and short training sessions. Start with easy configurations to build the dog’s confidence, and monitor for signs of frustration. Replace treats with kibble to integrate the toy into regular feeding, and store away when not in use to maintain novelty.
