We’re going to start freezing things like peanut butter into some of the boxes and removable bones (easiest pieces to wash) to keep him occupied a bit longer.
We will buy the level 3 ones in future to give him a harder challenge.

Nice challenging toy for a clever poodle
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 July 2020
I've got a very clever miniature poodle (he's a Registered Assistance Dog for me) and I like to keep him stimulated. I had put this away for a future present but with having to shield, I thought I'd see how he gets on with it as he enjoys the spinning feeder but he's bored by it. He adores treats (due to severe allergies only the dog chocolate drops are ok for him - I got a big supply cheaply from Amazon too). So I thought I'd put a very small treat in each space, see what happens. The video is the FIRST time I gave it to him. He got the last treat out 10 seconds after I stopped filming. Took him 5 mins 15 seconds to get every treat out. Next day, I showed it to my friend, who helps to walk him while I'm shielding. She got dogs too. As I got it out,,my dog's face lit up and I knew then he loves it. Third time he used it, he picked up with his mouth, all the little white bricks and put them into a neat pile! I was amazed. Also 3rd time, he used much smaller neater movements to open it up and slide the little tubs. I've ordered more toys similar to these. Such good fun for both of us. I cut down on his foods bit cos of the treats involved! He will get this 2-3 times a week and I will make it harder by reducing the number of treats so some of the spaces will be empty, make it more challenging. This toy is suitable for dogs who like to think, not attack. Nit suitable for boisterous dogs who destroy things quickly and please play under supervision because some dogs may chew the bricks. But if you have a clever dog who likes to work things out, this is super! I'm going to try him on some of the Trixie Level 3 toys. By the way it stays fairly well in place on a rug or mat or carpet, doesn't move or slide around much.

Keep an eye on the dog, somewhat obviously, if he/she’s a chewer.

I bought this for my nine-month old Border Collie, a clever and easily bored breed of dog! At first he was a bit scared of it and although I showed him how it worked, he left it in the middle of the room for a couple of hours. Curiosity got the better of him and although I had put two of the white bricks in, it didn’t take him more than a couple of minutes to work it out. A bit frustrating at first and he tried to eat the bricks! By the third try he pretty much had it worked out but it keeps him occupied checking that he’s found everything. People may be concerned about the number of treats given but I put slices of carrot, broccoli, etc., in there, which he likes. The instructions suggest putting string through the holes in the bricks. I did so and the dog did use it sometimes. If you’re going to suggest that though, manufacturer, perhaps put a length of string in the box. It adds to the cost to buy some.

Without the bones, our dog found all the hidden treats in about a minute. Once the bones were placed, it took him much longer and offered a nice level of challenge.Reviewed in Canada on 14 February 2019
HOWEVER, if you have a chewer on your hands (a golden retriever puppy in our case), he cannot be left unsupervised with this toy: he plucked off a piece and chewed it up and tore one of the plastic bones to pieces, and made his gums bleed!!! All this in a matter of 4 minutes of unsupervised play time. This defies the purpose of this toy, which was supposed to keep him busy while I can tend to other tasks. It's made of very cheap plastic that has injured our dog's mouth.
