Idealistically, playing with your pup all day would keep boredom at bay and away from destructive behaviors like chewing. But when this is not feasible, puzzle toys keep them engaged safely and away from destructive behavior such as chewing.
Puzzle dog toys come in various difficulty levels to meet any pup’s play needs, from easy ones to increasingly more complex ones as they advance. Start with easier ones for maximum engagement before progressing up the ladder as your pup becomes adept at mastering each challenge!

Hide N’ Slide is constructed of compostable wood look material that’s both durable and easy to maintain, safe for all dogs (even short nosed breeds), young or older alike, making it great fun to play with! Simply place treats or kibble in its compartments before showing your pup how to move the sliding blocks and swivel flippers around in search of his treat!
Nina Ottosson offers another delicious treat-dispensing puzzle to test your pup’s natural foraging instincts, with seven built-in chambers designed to hide treats for engaging your dog in natural foraging behaviors. You can start simply by placing treats under blocking flippers before gradually adding more challenging obstacles into play.
As with any treat dispensing puzzle toy, it is crucial to supervise and train your pet on how to use the toy correctly. Don’t leave it unsupervised and make sure it is regularly inspected for signs of damage.

Treat puzzle toys are an effective way to stimulate and sharpen the minds of your dog, while at the same time encouraging problem-solving behavior and your pup’s natural hunting instincts.

Alternatively, if necessary you can show them.
The Petstages Multipuzzle is an advanced treat puzzle toy designed to keep your pup occupied for hours! Its outer and center compartments each contain sliding covers with hidden treats inside; simply fill it up with treats or kibble and encourage your dog to move the sliders, spin the center wheel and rotate orange locks to uncover these treasures!
Nina Ottosson Small Treat Tumble Toys are ideal for puppies and dogs who have not played with puzzle toys before, as this toy provides an easy hide-and-seek game with treats hidden within. Clean it by simply taking away all treats/kibble and washing with warm soapy water before rinsing with warm water, rinse and drying thoroughly afterwards – please note however, no toy is indestructible so always supervise play time, particularly with chewers!
