Six plush chipmunks sit in the wells of a moulded ball, covering the treats underneath. The dog has to pull each one out to get at what is beneath it. It is a level 2 game — enough of a step up to hold the attention of a dog that has outgrown a simple treat ball, but not so hard that a first-timer gives up, because you control how far the treats are hidden.
The chipmunks are the part that wears out. They are plush, not chew-proof, and a dog that settles down to shred one will succeed. Replacement chipmunks are sold separately by the brand. More puzzles in the Nina Ottosson collection.
Features
- Level 2, intermediate — suits dogs with some puzzle experience.
- Adjustable difficulty — leave treats part-visible for a beginner, fully covered for a dog that has the idea.
- Nose work — the plush covers hold scent, so the dog works the problem by smell rather than sight.
- Any size or age — the ball sits flat and does not need much strength to work.
Safety
Supervise every session and take the toy away afterwards. Inspect the chipmunks for tears and replace any that are coming apart.
