Ethical Pet Seek-A-Treat Flip 'N Flap Dog Puzzle

We have a 10 pound Maltese mix and this is the perfect size for her. However, after we filled the treat sections and she played with it for little while, the "rollers" for the flip 'n flap compartments ceased to work, apparently because of poor internal construction. There is no way we can see to get to the inside to make adjustments. The only reason I gave it two stars was because she seemed to have fun with it when it worked and she also seems to have figured out the slider sections and eventually got all the treats out. We may be returning this if we can't figure out how to fix it.

Our dog has gone through her share of thinking toys like the bees in the hive and the birds in the bird house. In addition to getting those types of toys out very easily, she will also remove all the stuffing and render it useless after a short amount of time. With this toy however we have high hopes that we can alternate it into her thinking games for a long time. When I first set it up I put a toy in every slot including the one circular opening that will remain uncovered. The uncovered one was he first she went for and she sniffed around at all the others. Honestly she lost interest initially so I sat with her and showed her how to push around the covers and praised her as she got it right. This type of a toy requires more serious thinking than burrowing or throwing it about so if your dog's attention is limited or if they are not treat driven this may not be a toy to consider

Was my little pup smart enough to manipulate the flaps and expose the treats? Certainly. Was he then smart enough to chew the flaps off so he wouldn't have to waste his time manipulating them? Certainly. So don't waste your own time with this product unless you want to do close and constant supervision. It's not a durable toy.

within 3 minutes of using this toy fell apart. I have a 23 pound english cocker spaniel and the toy did not last. She did not chew on anything but the door flaps fell off right away.

The other item that is tough is that there is no real way to clean this toy since its made out of cheap wood? carboard?

My dog Einstein has every dog puzzle made! He loves all of this toys and this one is no exception.

It took him longer to figure this out out than his other toys, and that's a good thing. He's a smart puggle and if treats are involved, he'll keep at it until he figures it out! I go through a lot of treats with easier puzzles. Thankfully, he thinks frozen mixed vegetables are a treat, so at least it's healthy!

It took him just over 10 minutes to solve the puzzle, and tried to "cheat" along the way. Using wheels to make the flaps go up is genius and I honestly didn't think he'd figure it out. Here's a quick video of him figuring it out:I mentioned that I wished it was plastic, like his other puzzles. This is pressed wood and I don't think the wheel mechanism will hang in there for very long because he uses his teeth to try to get the wheels to turn.

Other than that, I'd highly recommend this toy if you have a smart pup!
