The media could not be loaded. This video is the 1st time my puppy used this. He is the world’s most hyperactive, attention-deficit, destructive, insane puppy that has ever lived. I got him this as part of the practices I instituted to help him burn off some of that excessive mental & physical energy. He took to it like a duck to water and eats all of his meals out if it now.It has 3 different heights you can screw in the cross bar holding the canisters. I’m tempted to take off a star for sturdiness because one of the screws holding the cross bar in place has been stripped since the beginning requiring replacement with a larger screw in order to keep the bar from falling off constantly, but that’s pretty random. Nothing else has broken or gone wrong and my pup is pretty aggressive at knocking it around. It has rubber feet to help keep it from sliding. They help, but the only thing that would fully hold it in place with my now 60 lb 5 month old punching it repeatedly would be flat weights. It never tips or breaks, just scoots around on the floor. This has been wonderful for him. I’m so glad I got it.I have another dog who couldn’t figure out how to use it, but he tried it when he wasn’t as hungry and he’s more laidback.Edit 2024 update: i fed my puppy all his meals in this for months. He's not a gentle house bear and he eventually broke it beyond my repairing skills. I just got another one for play enrichment for all the dogs. The company made some helpful improvements in the design since my 1st one. I had trouble with screws stripping in the original one. Now the screws don’t screw into just the bare wood, rather the predrilled holes have metal inserts the screws tighten into. Much more secure and not so easy to strip the hole. They also changed the type of screws used for the cross bar. They used plain 1” screws before, so they continually loosened as my dog inevitably turned the bar along with the cylinders. The type of screw they're using now is easy to retighten by hand and holds the bar still better (partly owing to the metal insert it screws into instead of plain wood), so it’s not turning & loosening constantly.I bought the one with the puzzle in the bottom too this time. I’m not sure that was available 3 1/2 years ago. It’s neat because it gives a little more engagement, although I’ve found that type of puzzle is always easy for them to solve. I like that the puzzle “catches” a lot of the food/ treats when they fall so all of them aren’t scattered across the floor (scattered pieces add a bonus “Treasure Hunt” round to the game!). I don’t remember if the previous version had the rubber feet on the bottom. They don’t provide much traction on my floor, but they do add a little extra weight on the bottom, decreasing the ease of tipping it over.I love how easy this thing is to put together. Couldn’t be easier unless they did it for you. You attach the base to the sides with 2 screws on each side, then put in a screw on each side of the crossbar. That’s it. Pay attention to the order you need to attach things tho. If you don’t add them in the right order, you’ll find yourself unscrewing things & redoing them 😄.The screws come in 1 pack of 3 and 1pack of 2. I mistakenly thought the 3 were for the base attaching to the sides, which takes 4 screws total. After spending 5 mins searching for a lost 4th screw, I realized either it wasn’t included or I needed to figure out what the other pack of screws was for. Turns out one pack is for each side, and they give you an extra screw. So I wasn’t missing one, I was ahead by one. They considerately include the small Phillips head screwdriver you need for assembly tooMy girl dog isn’t so bright and her answer to accessing things is to break into them. That means she crunched down on one of the removable cylinders for the puzzle and broke it in half easily. In her defense, it worked. But now I know not to use those with either of my dogs who have that tendency. The disks that spin around to cover other hiding spots also are not attached. They sit in as a peg-in-hole design. So those were likely to get chewed up (bc my dogs love the chew-everything-up game too). I removed those as soon as the treats under them were found to save them from a similar fate.Overall, still a great toy. I had no qualms purchasing it again, and was pleasantly surprised to find improvements in all the small drawbacks I didn’t even consider noteworthy with the 1st one. The puzzle option only entertains them about 2 minutes longer, but is nice for catching falling pieces. If your dog likes to break stuff, don’t leave them unattended with the loose pieces.I’m a veterinarian and have recommended this specific toy to several clients who also have very active puppies who need an output for both mental & physical energy. 👍

Well made, sturdy, and high enough for the bigger dogs to use. I have a 120lb golden (all muscle and floof) who requires intellectual stimulation on top of lots of play. He solves puzzles very quickly. We’ve had this for a couple of weeks now. I put his top-tier treats into the containers. He loves this so much and really has gotten good with manipulating them with his paws to get the goods. He pouts when we lift it up out of his reach. I’d say this is his best puzzle yet. It’s best to use this on a carpeted surface or put a little nonslip rug underneath it so it doesn’t easily slide around.It took only a few minutes to assemble, was easy, and is holding up perfectly. Highly recommend for your smarty pant fur kids.

What I like about this is, it’s a fun toy that doles out the kibble/treats slowly based on the design in the smaller holes up top. There is a learning curve to this as described in the directions. Be ready to just try it the first time with the lids off so that the top of the container is completely open and they realize that once they spin it it comes tumbling out. After that you can put the lids back on that have the tiny holes that make them come out more slowly when the dogs spin the bottle. What I don’t like about it is that the wooden dowel rod that runs through the bottles must be unscrewed with a screwdriver on each side in order to slide the dowel rod out and take the bottles off to wash them. Seems that it could’ve had a better design maybe even with wingnuts that you don’t have to have a screwdriver to be able to remove. I haven’t really washed mine out for this reason but I do try to m,every once in a while, turn it upside down in the sink and let some of the crumbs and even wipe it out a little bit. Seems like this could’ve been engineered just a little bit better for ease of cleaning.

This is a cool design in theory, I saw a video demoing the toy that made it look like the height was adjustable for different difficulty levels, here's what I found after putting it together:- One of the screws broke in half as I was attaching it, another one poked through the other side of the wood when I screwed it in all the way, the whole thing is pretty wobbly when fully assembled but good enough for the purpose. I just can't ever take it apart again after the broken screw.- The dowel that the bottles hang from is screwed in place, so the height is not actually adjustable without taking it apart and risking damaging the wood or screws every time you change it.- The bottles are permanently attached to the dowel, so you'd ALSO need to unscrew and take it apart if you ever wanted to clean them. Also because they need to be put on before you screw the dowel in place, there's nowhere to grip the wood to screw in properly and so it's extra loose.- The bottles are at a fixed pivot point, you can't adjust the difficulty by raising or lowering the pivot and making the bottles easier or harder to tip.On top of all that my dog couldn't figure it out, I'd love if it could be configured a few ways to allow for a ramp up of difficulty.Between the lack of adaptability, inability to disassemble to clean easily, and poor construction, it overall feels like it's intended to be a single use item. If that single use entertains your dog for a while, great! But it feels expensive and wasteful of materials for something that can't really be used over and over.

Solid wood base and containers. Easy assembly; screwdriver included. My dog quickly found kibble hidden in the base. Because the containers are long and he spins them so fast, the kibble is not falling out. Inertia?! For 1 cup of kibble, shorter containers would work better. More kibble/container means overfeeding. I could remove 2 containers; add a full cup to one. More likely, I will use it when I have time to help dispense kibble by slowing down Doggo's speed-spinning action.

As described, exactly what I needed.
