The problem
A dog that finishes dinner in 90 seconds still has the whole evening to fill
Most bad behaviour at home — counter-surfing, chewing skirting boards, barking at nothing — is a dog with an unspent brain rather than a dog with a training problem. Food is the easiest lever you have, because it is already happening twice a day. The only question is whether it takes ninety seconds or fifteen minutes.
How it works
- 1
Scatter your dog's normal kibble or a handful of treats into the 24 wells, then close the sliding tiles over them.
- 2
Put the board down and let them work. Most dogs solve the first few wells by accident, then start deliberately nosing and pawing at the sliders.
- 3
Start with every well loaded and the sliders half open. As they get quicker, close the sliders fully and load only some of the wells, so the board stays a puzzle instead of becoming a routine.
What you get
A flat, weighted puzzle board with 24 covered wells and sliding tiles. You hide kibble or treats underneath; your dog has to nudge each slider open to find them. It turns an inhaled bowl of food into a genuine problem to solve — which is what most bored dogs are actually missing.
- 24 covered wells with sliding tiles — your dog has to work out each one
- Turns a meal that already happens into an activity, so it adds nothing to your routine
- Squeaker in the centre to pull attention back when interest drops
- Rubber feet on the base so it doesn't skate across the floor or tip
- Sliders are fixed into the board — nothing small comes loose to be swallowed
- Food-grade PP, dishwasher safe
Who it's for
- Dogs that finish a bowl of food in under two minutes
- Dogs left alone during the working day
- Puppies and adolescents in the destructive-chewing stage
- Recovering or crate-rested dogs who can't burn energy on walks
- Any dog on a rainy week with no outlet

Complete the routine
One tool solves one moment of the day. These kits pair it with what usually comes next — and cost less than buying the pieces separately.
Questions people actually ask
Will my dog just flip it over?
The rubber feet and the 800 g weight stop it sliding, and the low profile makes it hard to get underneath. A determined dog can still tip any puzzle board — if yours is a flipper, start with it in a corner or against a wall.
Is it strong enough for a heavy chewer?
It's a puzzle, not a chew toy. The board is rigid food-grade PP and the sliders are fixed in place so they can't be pulled off and swallowed, but a dog who settles in to destroy it will eventually damage it. Supervise the first few sessions and take it up once the food is gone.
How long does it actually keep them busy?
That depends entirely on the dog. A first-timer might take 15–20 minutes; a practised dog who has learned the mechanism can clear it in three or four. Loading only some of the 24 wells, at random, is what keeps it interesting long term.
Can I use it for wet food?
You can, but the wells are shallow and it is much harder to clean. Dry kibble, freeze-dried treats or small biscuits work best. For wet food and pastes, the Lick Mat is the better tool.
Is it suitable for cats?
The sliders are sized for a dog's nose and take more force than most cats will bother with. For cats, the Cat Puzzle Box is built around paws rather than noses.
