Pot luck
I have a border collie and a Labrador. The birdie collies loves it. Clearly enjoys working both games out. The Labrador isn't interested!
Worth a try.

I didn't realise my dog was so clever! ;0)
I bought this for Wellington's birthday (he's a Westie) and he loved it. First time we got it out I used small pieces of dried liver because they smell strongly and he soon got the hang of the "hats" game.
The slider game is supposed to be for "clever dogs" and a "more advanced level" so I thought I might be pushing my luck to try that one too. However, good sense went out the window and the dried liver was put under the sliders. Wellington soon worked out how to get to those too. I'm such a proud mummy now!!! Haha!
The only minor minus point would be that Wellignton uses his nose to slide the pieces as opposed to his feet (as shown on the box) and we therefore had quite a soggy board by the end of our play session. I'm wondering how long the wooden board will last before it all gets a bit eeeuuuuwww!?
When we put the game away, I left it out in the lounge and he kept going back to it and nudging it until I eventually had to put it away somewhere. He obviously enjoyed it!
Definitely a great buy compared to the prices of other doggy brain training games, some of which have less to them.

Fab toy
My Havanese dog loves this game.
I was quite surprised how quickly he understood what to do, and now can't wait to play the game.
We love playing this game together and it's lovely to see how much he enjoys it.

Excellent game for my Lab
My black lab loves this game.
I love seeing how excited she gets everytime she sees this game.
Its almost like a party trick when people come around, its amazing to see how quick she was to pick up the general idea and how quick she can complete the exercise.
I love this product, it is just fantastic

Great idea, but needs more options for different abilities
This is great quality wood and is put together well, and has withstood the initial battering with paws from excitement.
My golden retriever cracked it in 2 minutes, but our basset hounds haven't got a clue, despite being supposed to have the best noses for the business. Although the 2 games supposed to be for different ability levels, it seems that your dog will either get it or not.

Great for puppy!!
I bought this game for my 4 months Shih tzu. I am preparing it in the morning before work so he have something to do when I am not in, so he can earn his extra food;)He so used to it now that is checking it so often just in case that some taste bits was putted again. For puppy grate fun!!And you can first use one side than another without wooden blocks and then with the additional blocks on the slide board part. Would not advice for 'grown ups'as it could be to easy game but for pups brilliant;)

Very enjoyable for people and dogs
Much better value than most other brain games because you get 2 games. Even when they have worked out how to play the games, you can use it to reinforce other training such as stays/leave it/send away etc. and self control. The cups are quite close fitting and deep so the dog has to lift them out, if they try to paw them they get stuck. The sliders occasionally get stuck when they are wet with slobber, but I think that just adds to the game! Really enjoy this, as does my dog and it is a great way for new people to engage with him and build trust.

good product
one of my dogs an irish setter found these games very easy to work out and after a while got quite bored. my other dog a lhasa apso just couldnt get it at all and really couldnt be bothered. the cups are quite loose and can get knocked over with just a sniff.the other side of the game, the slider game was much better as they have to work out how to slide the thing accross to get the treat. all in all a good product and reasonable price, my sisters dog loved it. i suppose it just depends on the individual dog.

FANTASTIC .. Best Toy I have got for my Papillon !
I bought this for my Papillon this Christmas and can highly recomend it for those dogs who like to be doing things, like finding games, hunting for treats and love food. Not suitable for dogs that like to sit and chew as its made from chipboard and would spoil if left alone to chew.
A game for you to play WITH your dog ...
Both the 2 games have kept my dog occupied for hours and its the only system where you get 2 games for the price of one !!
It took my Papillon about 10mins to learn how to do it and he keeps banging on the box wanting to play it again and again ....
It kept our whole house including visitors occupied as its fascinating to watch them with it.
I couldnt afford the Ottoson one so gambled on this one and its superb and just as good.
They really challenge your dog and make them think - superb for wet weather days.
Small treats needed or break up large ones into bits to hide.
Very dog friendly and wont hurt pawing noses or feet.
I have to say its the best toy i have ever bought my dog and suits him perfectly.

extremely disappointing
This toy is very unchallenging. My dog mastered both of these games after one go, and (much as I love him) he is no genius.
The 'cup/sachet' game is a joke.
I thought the cups would be tight fitting so he actually has to pull them out, however, when he sniffs at them the cups just fall over revealing the treat. It took his a couple of seconds to knock them all over and get the treats.
The 'slider' game however, is not quite as bad as he actually has to do something to get the treats.
It is very expensive for what it is and I would not recommend this item to anyone.
Unfortunately it has put me off buying other doggy mind games as they might be just as bad!
