good but eh things I don't like about this treat house1. if the ball does not hit right sometimes no treat will pop out.2. a lot of the time more than one treat pops out when the ball is dropped.3. my dog can stick her tongue in the treat dispenser and get treats that way instead of using the ball.4. there is no helping it stay up right on carpet.things that are good/included on this treat house1. spike for outdoor use and suction pads to keep upright on tile/wood floor if your dog tries to tip it.2. something to teach your dog providing mental simulation and exercise that will not be a wasteful skill as compared to other 'dog puzzles' this treat house will teach your dog the skill of picking up and placing which is awesome and can be used to achieve other useful commands eg. put up toys bring me keys.personally the ball was a little too big for my chiweenie. she is good at pulling the ball in if I set it on top of the house however she's stubborn and doesnt want to pick the ball up to drip it in yet. If your dog loves carrying things in his mouth then you might be able to train him to use this house easier than me and my dog.
too small Wish it was bigger it is really small and my dog was uninterested in it. Maybe some one else would like it for there dog but regualr treat balls keep him interested more then this does.
For puppies or very small dogs. I got this and it was much smaller than I thought it would be guess I should have looked for the dimensions. It does have suction cups on the bottom but they dont hold it that well if you have a bigger dog. I have a GSD and she plays this game but I dont think she could use the toy without direct supervison. It is made out of hard plastic that would cause some real damage if it were chewed on or broken. I will use it for the new puppy coming as it is the right size for a puppy. I made my own treat dispenser that works like this toy does using a cardboard box and an empty soda bottle. I just thought that this one looked nicer but I guess I could take my time and fix up the box to look better as well for free. I am giving four stars because it works as described.
Fun but not the greatest It was fun training my dog to use this toy but I have a small dog so it's hard for her to hold the ball in her mouth to put it in the house. Also she figured out how to reach the treats without putting the ball in the top. Oh and I had to cut up her treats so that they'd fit in the house.This toy would be great for a larger dog who can hold the ball and who can't fit her snout in the treat dispenser but small dogs are motivated to cheatand they can cheat a little too easily.
