 too scary for my dog Jul 24, 2010
I was all excited to find a toy that my smart, chew happy dog could play with. What I did not keep in mind, is that she is scared of anything that relates to people, even if it has food in it (she is a shelter rescue). She likes me getting food out for her, but never got into bouncing it around to figure out how to get food out herself. Two weeks later it is lying in a corner, ignored, full of yummy treats. I still think this toy has great potential, but I don't recommend it for a timid dog, that gets spooked easily. My dog loves her Kong chew toys. I was hoping to find something that will take longer to get the treats out.
 great feeding option Jul 23, 2010
I received the first jug as a gift for my golden retriever (80 lb.), then bought a second one when I picked up a Wheaten terrier (30 lb). Both dogs enjoy working their breakfast kibble out of the jug. The Wheaten will eat until full and the retriever, true to his nature, can't stop eating and playing. They are able to almost completely empty the jugs. Their size difference changes their strategies a bit but doesn't affect their ability to play.
When first introducing the toy to the dogs, I "primed" the jug by spilling out a couple high-value treats mixed with kibble (later moving to only kibble). The rope knot inside the jug can also block the entrance, so I was careful to make sure that the knot was well inside the jug. And I made sure to fill the jug about 3/4 full because the jug can clog if it's totally full and I didn't want them to be discouraged if it was too unrewarding. Now the dogs are more experienced, so I don't prime the jugs anymore. I am increasing the challenge by sitting the jugs upright and will soon be moving to asking them to find the jug.
The container is easy to fill but the cloth rope makes cleaning a little more difficult. My Wheaten uses the rope to retrieve the jug from under the coffee table but I'm still considering removing the rope because of hygiene and because it blocks the jug opening.
I recommend this if you have dogs cooped up indoors, if you have dogs that need to keep themselves occupied, and especially for large-chested breeds who gulp down their food (because the jug forces the dog to literally only eat a couple kibble at a time).
Strong chewers whipped it in an hour Jul 23, 2010
My dog just got mad they couldn't get the treats out and ripped the rope right out.
He's a pretty strong chewer but not extraordinary. He's only a 70 lb coonhound.
Just an FYI to ya'll. I thought it was a little difficult for them to get treats but maybe my dogs aren't the smartest.
Anyway, the search continues for the perfect dog toy.

My dog's favorite way to eat! Jul 21, 2010
As other people have noticed this isn't something that you should leave your dog alone with all day. Given that caveat I think this is an amazing product! I actually have 2 (one for each dog) and it is their favorite way to get a meal. It keeps them occupied for about 10-15 minutes but you can tell they are thinking and having a blast and they are generally ready to settle down and relax for a bit afterwards. I have one with a real rope and one with a rubber rope. Each has benefits and downsides. I would recommend getting the large even for little dogs, my sister had a 4lb yorkie and he has no problem operating the medium/large size toy. My dogs are a 25lb cocker and a 35lb mix so I cannot comment on the appropriateness of this toy for large dogs. If the toy is too difficult you can take the rope out until they get the hang of it. Also my cocker will sometimes unscrew the back instead of working each piece out through the top but that actually takes him longer so I don't mind.
not for a rope chewer Jul 20, 2010
within five minutes my 11 month old 60 lb collie/saint Bernard mix had chewed the rope in half. I used suggestion given by another reviewer and put a racket ball in the bottle.
