Kyjen Dog Games Treat Wheel Read more... All games include instructions and tips All treat cups included (not sold separately) Dishwasher safe Good toy but not as challenging as wanted I have a 4 year old Border Collie/Australian Cattle Dog mix who is very food motivated.I bought this toy after reading all the positive reviews from dog owners on this site.A lot of the dogs referenced were Labs or Retrievers.. so I assumed this would be perfect for my pooch.He figured it out rather quickly.. and even though he still loves to play it. Is done finding the treats in less than 2 mins. And if I am not right there with him on the floor next to him he will throw the toy around to just get the treats out.I will continue to use this toy with him mostly to work on patience with him but as far as challenging this toy did not prove effective.
only good for the first use buy a treat ball My dog figured this out really fast and likes it a lot. However it's over priced since my dog can get to the treats fast and he's a fast eater. I would suggest investing in a treat ball instead. That'll keep there attention longer and they are similarly priced.
Two paws down My ten pound Yorkie is very food centric when it comes to games if there isn't food he isn't playing. We have several bumble balls and kongs that he loves to play with and thought this treat wheel would be a fun new game for him. The yellow playing pieces were much too big for him to get his mouth around and he was unable to master using his paws to flip them out of the holders. For a dog that LOVES any game that involves food this just proved much too frustrating for him. And believe me we tried to help our little guy out with this. We left the yellow cups off and just slightly rotated the wheel but even that was too difficult for him to spin as it did not move easily. And it's not like our dog isn't Pawcentric as he is actually quite adept at using his paws to move and flip his Kong and to fish treats out from under furniture etc. We tried over the course of several weeks to try and help our pal get the hang of this toy but all parties finally agreed that this just wasn't fun the way a toy should be. Perhaps if you have a bigger dog this will work for you but it received two paws down from our little buddy.One other concern that I had was the fact that the small hole in the top of the yellow cups seemed just the right opening for a dog to catch a nail in and get stuck on his paw. Granted that on one should ever leave a pet and a toy unattended but something for people to keep in mind if they do buy this product.
treat wheel The spaces are interconnected under the blue top hard sharp edges inside and on the mobile lining and the dogs have a hard time getting to the food. My little guy actually yelped I suppose he got his tongue caught. He did not go back to 'negative reinforcement.' Not a good invention.
lots of fun Highly entertaining to watch. Both of my dogs LOVE it. The older one has a little more trouble with itbut he can do it! He hasn't quit figured out that he has to move the yellow cups before the wheel will turn. On the other hand my younger dog thought that removing the yellow cups WAS the game. Had to show him that there was something inside. Does very well removing the cups now. Timing him he is down to a little over 2 minutes. You do have to show them how it works a few times if you don't have a super smart dog.
Great for slowing down feeding time! This is a super easy puzzle it took my standard poodle who is about 6 months old about 3 minutes to figure it out the very first time. So I don't think it makes the best puzzle but it is amazing at slowing down chow time. I fill all four compartments up with kibble. I holds about 2 cups of food and it extends eating time from 2 minutes to 10 minutes. Which means less gas for my dog and sweeter air for me.
Fun! Our dog loves this game even with just 1 treat or piece of food per section and will play over and over again. We just have to watch she doesn't try to eat the yellow cups but the blue part is durable. She easily figured out tho that she can move it around instead of spinning the disc to get the treats out. She knows where we store this game and tries to get into the cabinet to get it out! Great price at Amazon and a good value dog toy. I would buy this again.
Not a challenge I wanted a new challenge for my terrier and she figured this out in no time flat. Then she ran off with the compartment covers and chewed them to bits. So the product is not challenging and not robust. Maybe this would work for a declawed cat but if your dog is halfway on the ball get something else.
Too hard for a small dog to use My toy poodle was quite interested in this toy but it proved difficult for him to play with. He has a small mouth and it was hard for him to pick up the yellow pieces to get at the treats. It was also hard for him to rotate it on its base to expose the other treats. I think this is a fine toy for bigger dogs but Liam is only 7.7 lbs. My husband also didn't like all the noise.
Good at first This kept my dog's attention for a couple minutes the first few times we used it but now she has no interest. I think my 2 year old enjoyed it more than my dog did. It seems to slide around too easy and our dog has a tough time getting the yellow cups out. She's not overly food driven so that may be part of the problem. Guess we'll try something else.

Very Popular in My House I picked up this toy on the advice of a Schutzhund training blog which claimed that this was one of the few toys their GSDs could enjoy without destroying. I'm from the school of don't tempt fate very few of my dogs' toys including this one are left out long enough to be chewed to pieces. So I can't say for sure that this toy could be safely left out for long periods of time. However I can assure you that my dogs are absolutely nuts over this toy. They are obviously more excited when I pull this one out even more than they are over Kongs. I think it's the bounciness and pliability of the toy along with the fact that kibble magically appears in its wake. So far it has no signs of chewing damage. But like I said there are very few toys that I leave out 24/7 and most of those are Nylabones. Most durable toy we have found yet! Our pitbull x and our shepherd x lab can destroy anything. Black kongs are shredded in 45min the hard nylabone get worn down fast and makes their gums bleed. The pit x even takes down trees in the backyard. Every other toy we have ever bought him from tire toys to kongs to rope toys have all been destroyed in minutes. This ball has lasted two months!!!! They love it. We don't put treats or anything in it although we did just to see how it would hold up. They got the treats out and still didn't destroy the ball! This toy is well worth the $. It's still good after two months we are now starting to see little nicks and pieces missing from the treat openings. And the pit held it down with his paws and pulled up with his mouth so hard it made a stress line on the inside but it hasn't torn through yet. Even if I had to replace it right now I wouldn't hesitate the $ to preplace it every couple of months is just fine by me. I'm just so happy our dogs have a toy they can enjoy for more than a few minutes. Awesome!!!! My Weimaraner has the large ball and now she has the small one. The chew ball is extremely sturdy and she loves chewing on it. I don't have to put a treat in it.she just loves it. Disappointed I had high hopes for this ball based on the reviews I read and the price I paid. After 2 minutes of chewing my dog pulled off a big chunk of it. Then 5 minutes later the ball was destroyed. This ball cost me more than $1.50 a minute of play. Not a very good investment. I will return to Kong products as they last the longest. Think twice before purchasing this product if your dog is a strong chewer. 8 hours and I'm impressed. My 1 year old lab/doberman/border collie is not only an extreme chewer but also got the border collie intelligence gene. I recently purchased the kong treat ball and she was able to remove the treats from that faster than i was able to put them in. She can clean the peanut butter out of an extra large extreme kong in 5 minutes flat. So when I purchased this toy from a local pet store earlier today i wasnt expecting much. I got this ball along with the locking treats that are made for it. She has had this ball for a little over 8 hours now and it actually still has the locking treats in it. This is the first treat toy she has had that has lasted more than an hour. Bully sticks nylabone edibles you name it and she can eat the whole thing with in 510 minutes. Good for my dogs I have a couple of dogs who aggressivly chew they have even managed to destroy other everlasting toys in no time flat but this one is a favorite maybe because it is not as hard as some of the others it has lasted three months the longest any toy has survived so far. I got this because the chewtoys that last the white nylabone stuff get really pointy and sharp from my dogs chewing it up while not destroying the toy it did create a hazard for my foot when they dropped it there. This might not work for all dogs but if you have an aggressive chewer you should be used to the fact that your dog will destroy it sooner or later usually sooner. Best Ball Ever! These are well worth the money. If you have a dog that likes to destroy everything he gets in his mouth get these. They are flexible so they can flex their jaw with it in their mouth and are extremely durable. You can't go wrong with these. Highly recommend. A very tough and time consuming toy! My dogs love this toy so much I bought one for each of them. The ball is great for a dog who likes the rolling treat dispensers or a dog who likes chewing treat dispensers. If you fill the ball with larger things chicken jerky sweet potato bits it will take the dogs hours to get treats out and they don't fall easily out the other side. We can only give these balls with treats for an hour or two at a time once we left them on the ground overnight and our corgi played with it ALL NIGHT without sleeping. Our GSD on the other hand likes to bring it to bed and cuddle with it. This is a serious money saver when we otherwise might be giving them expensive dog chews to keep them occupied. Tough enough for a terrorist! My 14monthold English Bull TerroristerrTerrier absolutely LOVES this ball! I put puppy biscuits in it and she works forever to get them out. Green Ball Indestructable. We own this ball and it is sooooooooooo tough. Your dog cannot destroy it. I have a pitbull/boxer mix 2 years old. She ruins every toy she has except for this and her kong. We put treats inside of it and she has figured out how get them out. She plays with this ball all the time. Buy this and you won't be sorry. Read more... Related Products |
