This is a recent addition to my 'does not stay in my toy bucket' toy collection. I can play with the toys that are in my toy bucket anytime, but there are a few toys my people keep in a special place where I cannot sniff. So, when they come out of the closet, I get very excited.

This is Nina Ottosson's DogBrick. This toy is not brand new any more, but my people kept the box and put it back in so you can see how it originally came.

This is the back of the box. It has quite a bit of information.

This picture with three dogs shows that this toy can be enjoyed by any age dogs and any size dogs. I agree. If you are a very young dog and love to chew plastic, you may want to play with this toy when your people are around.

This picture on the bottom of the box shows the 'Skill Level'. This toy is 'Medium', and it is not very easy, but it is not very difficult. I agree. I could figure out how it works on the very first day I tired it.

Let's see what's in the box. The puzzle toy, a booklet, and a DVD.

The booklet and DVD explain all puzzle toys the company offers.

So, this is the puzzle. It is made of plastic. It is not shiny hard plastic, and has a little bit of grainy texture. This makes grabbing easier for us, especially to grab the white bone shaped pieces with our teeth. 

This toy has two different types of compartments where your people can put kibbles or treats for you. The first one is the middle row and these four compartments are hidden under the white bone shaped pieces.

This space is quite big.

The second compartments are under these brown pieces. It is like a sliding door, and you slide these to reach there. It has small space underneath, and your people can hide your treats here as well. However, this space is not that big or deep, so your big dog biscuit would not fit.

The bottom side of the puzzle.

There are six rubber things so the toy does not keep sliding on the smooth surface.

The white bone shaped 'cap' has a hole so we can sniff the goodies underneath.

The reverse side of the bone.

 This puzzle is pretty big, but you work on one compartment at a time, and it is perfect size for me.

About 16 inches x 11.5 inches. 

 This is how the white bone sits in the compartment.

The brown sliding lids have bone shaped 'handle', which makes it easier to open. I usually use my nose and mouth to play with this toy, and these handles work very well.

Since this toy is made of plastic, cleaning is very easy. After I finish playing, my people wash it using regular dish soap. When it is dried for a while, it looks as new!

Now, watch me play with this toy!


SHIBA INU SAKI's VIDEO DEMONSTRATION!




This video was filmed at about the fifth time I played with this toy. The very first time I played with this puzzle, my people did not use the white bone shaped caps. I just had to learn to slide open these brown lids.  I got it right away. The next time, my people added the white bones. I could smell my kibbles below, and it was no problem for me to learn how to remove them. I also learned the order of things: first you need to remove the white bones in order to slide brown lids.

Although this toy requires 'Medium' skill level, I think most of you can figure it out pretty easily. And, it is fun to play. I recommend this puzzle to my fellow pooches!.

* By the way, the reason why I sat after the first release command was because I thought I heard something different. That was why my people had to say the second 'ok'. My people sometimes say words close sounding but different to make sure I know the word correctly.
