Nina Ottosson Treat Maze

THE SAUCER THAT BOBS, FLIPS AND REWARDS DOGS FOR THINKING

It sits on the floor looking deceptively simple, and then a dog puts it in motion and everything changes. The Nina Ottosson Dog Treat Maze is a Level 2 tap-and-flip puzzle with two treat entry holes that dispenses kibble or treats as dogs bob and flip the saucer to release the reward. At 18 cm diameter and 6 cm height, it is compact, durable, suitable for all dogs and easy to clean by hand with warm soapy water.

Why it's a great choice

• Two entry holes for treats: Kibble or treats are loaded into the top centre hole, one side for each hole, and dispense as dogs tilt, tap and flip the saucer, extending the challenge across two reward points.

• Tap and flip mechanics: The bobbing, tilting action of the saucer engages both the body and the brain, as dogs learn through trial and error to tip the toy in the right direction.

• Shake to engage the scent: After filling, a quick shake distributes the treats and spreads the scent, helping dogs understand what is waiting inside and motivating them to start working immediately.

• Level 2 for all dogs and sizes: Fun and accessible for dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds, with a Level 2 challenge that keeps most dogs engaged without being too difficult or too easy.

Key benefits for your Dog

• Mental stimulation through trial and error: Working out the correct angle and pressure to tip the Treat Maze trains dogs to think through a physical problem, building focus and problem-solving confidence over time.

• Physical engagement too: Nosing, tapping and flipping the saucer keeps dogs physically active during play, adding a movement element to the enrichment session that a static puzzle does not provide.

• Slower treat delivery: Treats dispensing from a moving, unpredictable saucer naturally slows consumption and extends the time dogs spend with the toy, providing a longer enrichment session from a small quantity of treats.

• Durable for daily use: Built to handle daily pawing and tossing, the Treat Maze is robust enough for repeated use, and simple to clean by hand with warm soapy water after each session.

A compact Level 2 tap-and-flip dog puzzle ideal for dogs who enjoy physical interaction with their enrichment toys, owners looking for an easy-to-fill daily activity toy, or anyone wanting to add variety to the puzzle rotation.
