Outward Hound by Nina Ottosson Dog Hide N' Slide Treat Puzzle, Level 2

Mid-range Dog Toys & Chew Gifts

Our verdict

The Hide N' Slide is a good step up from a basic treat ball, because the dog has to slide covers and lift compartments to reach fourteen hidden treat spots, which asks for nose work and patience rather than brute force. The composite board sits flat and does not slide around easily, and there are no removable parts to lose or swallow. Our pick for intermediate puzzle play because the difficulty is real but still fair for a dog that has already tried a simpler puzzle. The limitation is the learning curve: some dogs need a few guided sessions before they understand the sliding action, and it works best with small treats or kibble rather than large biscuits.
