Interactive Treat Puzzle Dog Toy Outward Hound Dog Worker — Green, Ø35.6 cm, H31.8 mm

The Outward Hound Dog Worker is an interactive treat puzzle dog toy in green, designed to engage dogs through multi-step problem solving. With a diameter of 35.6 cm and a height of 31.8 mm, this level 3 puzzle challenges pets to find and retrieve treats hidden beneath flippers, blocks and a central spinning wheel. Constructed from a durable composite material free of BPA, PVC and phthalates, the toy features built-in play pieces that do not detach during play and can be cleaned with warm water and mild soap.

Advantages

This puzzle toy promotes mental stimulation and sequential learning by requiring dogs to swivel flippers, scoot blocks and spin a center wheel to access rewards. It supports slow feeding and extends playtime by making treat access gradual rather than immediate. The no-removable-parts design reduces the risk of small pieces being swallowed, and the BPA/PVC/phthalate-free composite construction allows for straightforward cleaning and routine hygienic care.

Suitable for

• Dogs that have mastered basic puzzle toys and need an advanced challenge
• Owners who want to slow down fast eaters and extend mealtime
• Enrichment during periods of boredom or when reducing destructive behaviour
• Training sessions that use food rewards and sequential problem-solving

How to use

Place small treats or kibble in the hidden compartments beneath the flippers, blocks and under the center wheel. Introduce the toy to your dog by demonstrating each step: swivel a flipper, slide a block and spin the center wheel so the dog observes how the treats are revealed. Encourage the dog to try each action and use positive reinforcement when they succeed. For dogs new to this level, begin with easy displays of the treat being accessible and gradually increase the difficulty as the dog learns the full three-step sequence.

Usage recommendations

Do not leave the toy with unsupervised dogs. Inspect the toy regularly and remove it if any damage or excessive wear appears. Use appropriate-sized treats to prevent choking and avoid forcing the dog into prolonged frustration—short guided sessions are recommended. Clean with warm water and mild soap as needed.
