I’m a licensed vet tech and this is in no way cruel. It’s actually amazing! He’s engaged and learning, while getting treats at the same time! For a dog that will eat quickly, as you mentioned, this is a great way to slow them down so they don’t throw it all back up. Great entertainment for him!
I got a level 2-3 puzzle for a cat last Xmas. He absolutely loved it! He used his voice buttons to demand puzzle treats constantly. The puzzle had options to make it more difficult as the cat understood it better. But he could solve it at level 3 within five minutes. I’m not saying cats are smarter than dogs, but MY Black Jack was brilliant.
There’s a company that makes an interactive game for dogs, that gets progressively tougher as the dog figures it out. You might get them to send you one for review! I’m envisioning you coming into the room and finding that Obie has disassembled ALL your puzzles looking for more kibble.
Love that you're raising awareness of puzzle feeders for dogs! They're such an important tool for any dog owner and amazing at keeping them happy, stimulated, and tired out! Our chihuahua goes nuts for a puzzle feeder, she's incredibly smart but has zero interest in trick training, so solving problems like this really get her working her brain. A tip for using more advanced feeders is to train in stages so the dog doesn't become frustrated and give up. So first you may have a drawer slightly open, then it's all the way shut, then one of the bones is slightly turned...and so on until all drawers are fully locked.
I have the same puzzles for my chihuahua mix. That level 2 blue one we upped the difficulty by putting the treat in the hole of the slider. So he has to move the clam shaped lever out of the way, then slide the slider to the hole, move it away from the hole, then get the treat. He solved that as well in under 5 minutes. Dogs are amazingly smart!!
Thats pretty impressive for Obi's first go, and our labradoodle would have gone crazy over the hotdog as well, bloody brilliant video Chris, and yes definitely would like to see Obi try some more puzzles 👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘Cheers from Melbourne Australia
I think half the fun for Odie is to try and tackle these puzzles together with you. You holding them down means there is some of the good old tug-of-war interaction going, and in my experience dogs of all breeds really enjoy that.
This was so much fun! It's definitely one of my favorite videos that you've made. Obie's just adorable, and it was really interesting watch him problem-solve. It was also hilarious watching him play w/ the second puzzle. I think that level three puzzle was poorly designed, however. The puzzle didn't weigh enough, so it kept sliding around, the drawer handles didn't stick out far enough, and it wasn't far enough off the ground for Obie to get underneath it. The other puzzles were perfect, though, especially the second one, since it set up the conundrum of, "Do I play w/ the hot dog, or do I find and eat the cookie?"
This was such a fun video. Getting your dog in on the puzzle solving action is good content AND great for Obi, especially since he snarfs his food down like my dogs do. I have one of the “snuffle mats” similar to the 3rd puzzle in the video but I haven’t tried it out with them yet. This makes me want to film them trying it out just in case they do something interesting while using it. Thanks for sharing Chris and I’m totally happy to watch more videos like this one. ☺️👍🏻
Chris: Do you think that when puzzles get hard I give up? Me: I seem to recall someone giving up on excalibur multiple times and only finished it after strong pushback from fans and help from one Mr. Puzzle.
My cats love the second puzzle! I got in on a whim at the pet store. I wonder if they'd be interested in the other ones 🤔 I'd love to see more dog content!
The level 3 reminded me so much of when I was trying to get my dog to understand how one of his harder puzzles worked. He just clawed like crazy and I tried to make him understand what to do😂😂
Awesome idea for a puzzle video! Cool seeing his temperament change when he decided to give the hotdog a hiding and when he got fed up on the last puzzle.
I'm so happy you've combined puzzles and dogs 💚💚💚 I feel like a crow would do really well on all of the puzzles If you have a puzzle like the first two you don't have to put treats under each one, just do a few them they have to search harder without eating too much
My black lab loves these. We made the 2nd puzzle more difficult by putting a small treat in the peg that holds the flipper. So the dog has to move the peg away move the flipper, then put the peg back over the hole and move it away to get the treat. Makes it last longer than 5 seconds for her.
First of all, the second level 2 puzzle might as well be a hot dog toy because the moment he saw that thing the treats lost all of their puppy appeal. 🌭💕 I also believe that he would have gotten the level 3 puzzle on his own if you had waited for him to get a little hungry and let him do it all by himself. I don't think your "helping" him was really helping. He's not just a good boy. He's also a smart boy! So smart that he knows if he sits there long enough Daddy will do it for him.
Way to go Obi! I've seen about every puzzle you've made, and this was by far the best as far as the entertainment value is concerned! And isn't that why we're all here? To be entertained? I think you need to have a monthly Obi day, complete with his own entry style. Help me Obi Bone Kanobi, you're our pupzzles only hope!
So dope getting to know Obi, you guys are an inspiration Chris. Thank you for your videos, you interested me in learning more about magic which I’ve always had an affinity for.
Saw this and had to get some for my cats! They absolutely love it! My one prefers a ball you have to roll and treats fall out But my other cat solved this really complex one. There's a cap that covers a hole, you have to move the cap out of the way and slide an upsidedown cup that's covering a treat over the hole and then move the cup out of the way I even hide treats around the house sometimes for them to hunt down! I'm trying to teach them tricks too like giving a high 5 for a treat or jumping over my arm. They are progressing well! :)
This is the kind of content I needed! I enjoy watching you solve stuff but, ngl, I really enjoy this more. Obi has my attention! I'm going to buy some of these for my Aussie. He's a smart boi but he's older, so we'll see.
Super cute, made me lol 😂🤣 I have a boxer and he loves puzzles, he loves working for his cookies, his favorite is his cookie ball, he gets to throw, toss and slam it to the floor to get his cookies. He is so excited to find new ways to get them out. It's also fun for me to watch him figure it out, he gets mad when he is out of cookies but still wants to play and he will be 13 yrs old in 4 months. So keep working with Obie he will gain more patience and keep working to understand them, one thing I learned is make one drawer a jackpot drawer (add a few cookies) so he stays excited and engaged.
Ahh Obi is the goodest of boys and very clever! My boy Ollie also loves his puzzles as well, helps to be food motivated for sure. Cant wait for the next video!
lmao I love this video so much. he is so stinking cute. Ive been binging your videos and this is in my top fav with escape room. his tiny little legs just make me so happy
Great job! Your pup could get the next championship belt from Wes!? Hehehe. Your pup did so well. He deserves all those treats. That last one looked really complicated compared to the first ones. Awesome video! Hope to see more starring Obi ☺️
Now, I'm not a dog psychologist or whatever you'd call it, but I'm almost certain that Obie understood exactly 0% of the mechanics of those puzzles. I'm sure he was just like "oh snap i smells treat lets claw around here a bit and bite everything" and suddenly stuff came out and he was like "yay i gots treat" without thinking anything had anything to do with anything else Also, your dog is so extremely cute words fail me when I try to describe it, please give him all the pats in the world from me
Omg Obi is such a sweet funny dog Chris .. the way he tackled the first 2 was savage but struggled on the level 3 and I think a lot of dogs would to be fair. My dog is a border collie but trust me shes stupid like that ha ha. I love the chemistry yo uhave together the human and dog friendship is just unbeatable to me. Hes gorgeous and I have been subbed to you for years now when you were in a small room doing puzzles. How far you have come is remarkable and I am so proud of you Chris and Obi you too buddy. Thank you for this different video Chris it was amazing to see ... love you and Obi ill be watching some more puzzle vids of yours right ... now
He is so cute and smart. But then that breed is known for being smart. It was great fun watching him solve the puzzles. Look out he might take over your channel and start solving your puzzles, LOL.
Lol he so cute 🥰 my husband has three dutchunds and I think they would probably just fight over the treats in the puzzles and possibly destroy it to get to the treats lol. Love the keep off rug 😆
My dachshund loved to zen chew just like obi! He’s been gone two years now and I still miss his funny ways including chewing up any cotton toy in minutes.
Obi is 1,000 percent without a doubt the cutest and smartest little guy ever! I'm just wondering where obi's timer is 🤣🤣 I found myself doing the same thing with obi that I do with you when your solving...by yelling at my screen 🗣 "no obi turn it the other waaaaaaay!"
my dog Maggie LOVES her rolling puzzle toy! she has mastered it by now. Your video has inspired me to get another puzzle for her very soon. Maggie thanks you.
I laughed entirely too hard at the puzzle with the hot dog and cookie. Obie viewed them as the treat/toy so much he forgot about treats. lol. Edit: after watching the whole video....You can tell he is a scent based dog, he goes to where the scent is and just pulls at where the scent is. So the puzzles where its simply flipping or digging where the smell is he is good at. If he has to move something at a location that doesn't smell of treat he ignores.
I have that same level one puzzle for my dog, Nugget. You can turn the bones around to make it a LITTLE bit more difficult. I have to take them away from him right away though because he runs off with them and chews them haha
Puzzle toys, and snuffle mats are great for mental stimulation, which is great for dogs who aren’t tired even after hours of play and walks! Or for those days where you can hardly get out of bed and pup still needs some exercise
With the Hide N Slide puzzle you can make it more challenging. You get small treats that fit through the holes of the slides. Then you cover the empty well with the duck foot. Finally you put the slide on the side away from the well and put the treat(s) through the hole. Then your dog needs to move the duck foot out of the way, move the slide over the well, then move it back to get the treat.
The hot dog really got him going he looked to happy 😂
Personally, I would watch Obi play with the hotdog for hours!
I’m a licensed vet tech and this is in no way cruel. It’s actually amazing! He’s engaged and learning, while getting treats at the same time! For a dog that will eat quickly, as you mentioned, this is a great way to slow them down so they don’t throw it all back up. Great entertainment for him!
People are really saying this was cruel?
YEP. They're named Karen.
@@SLOTHSRIDEUNICORNS lol 😆 😂
The animal rights activists will label this as cruel either way
@@John-Doe-Yo probably the same people that have dogs so overweight that they can't jump on their bed
I got a level 2-3 puzzle for a cat last Xmas. He absolutely loved it! He used his voice buttons to demand puzzle treats constantly. The puzzle had options to make it more difficult as the cat understood it better. But he could solve it at level 3 within five minutes. I’m not saying cats are smarter than dogs, but MY Black Jack was brilliant.
Interesting how he actually solves the puzzles. My labradors would probably just pick the puzzle up and shake it till all treats come out 😂
My lab is half pitbull so she will just bite my face lol
My pit would have just ate the puzzle
My lab does do that! Exactly that! 😂 he’s also terrified of dachshunds 🤦🏻♀️
My dog is the same, he has no finesse, just smashes at the puzzle with his paw until everything flips over 🤣
My husky would just bite it til it breaks and ignore the treats and just destroy the puzzle
Obie is such a humble genius. Not too pompous and yet so talented. We need a part two 😂
If we get another one of Obi’s puzzle solving vids will there be an timer for puzzle completing time? Give him the setup too. ( 100% good boy )
14:38 - that motivational speech almost made me do the things I've been procrastinating on doing the whole day
'Just give me the damn hot dog dad!'
Obie is adorable! Loved this video Chris!
Everyone have a great day, stay safe & healthy out there!
"Stop pulling on the hot dog's umbilical cord"
Now that was an interesting sentence 🤣🤣🤣
There’s a company that makes an interactive game for dogs, that gets progressively tougher as the dog figures it out. You might get them to send you one for review!
I’m envisioning you coming into the room and finding that Obie has disassembled ALL your puzzles looking for more kibble.
😂😂😂 I can see this happening.
I got one for my cat. Watching the gears in his head spin to figure it out was fascinating.
what's the company name?
Just like his dad. Gets frustrated when he can't figure out the puzzle. Lol!!
Chris: STOP chewing the hotdogs umbilical cord!!!
Obie: mmmm very yummy foetus
😂 That’s awesome. He will soon be solving level 10’s before you.
Love that you're raising awareness of puzzle feeders for dogs! They're such an important tool for any dog owner and amazing at keeping them happy, stimulated, and tired out! Our chihuahua goes nuts for a puzzle feeder, she's incredibly smart but has zero interest in trick training, so solving problems like this really get her working her brain.

I always help my dogs with the 3rd puzzle and one of my dogs finds level 4 easier. All their brains are different just like ours xx

Thanks for sharing Chris and I’m totally happy to watch more videos like this one. ☺️👍🏻
This was cool. I didn’t know they had these. I could have used it when my dog was young. Thanks for the video 🌞🌞🌞
OMG how sweet is this. Smiled all the way Through this, Thank U.😄
Chris: Do you think that when puzzles get hard I give up?
Me: I seem to recall someone giving up on excalibur multiple times and only finished it after strong pushback from fans and help from one Mr. Puzzle.

Obi is such a champ. If I knew of these puzzles 10 years ago. my Rosie would love these activities. I enjoyed watching obi.
Awesome idea for a puzzle video! Cool seeing his temperament change when he decided to give the hotdog a hiding and when he got fed up on the last puzzle.
I'm so happy you've combined puzzles and dogs 💚💚💚

Never seen a dog do puzzles before! That was really something, & super cute too.
This is a brilliant video; really cool way to switch it up. Thanks as always for sharing!

I Love how he tried to solve the puzzle. I got a tackle to and I think I gonna tried that with him. Keep it going man.
that was enjoyable to watch mate. I like your content! I've watched many of your videos, nearly all actually : )
So dope getting to know Obi, you guys are an inspiration Chris. Thank you for your videos, you interested me in learning more about magic which I’ve always had an affinity for.
The hotdog detour was truly the best moment of this video lmao
My cat is a puzzle solver. I love watching them sit and figure things out. The hunt (for treats) is what he lives for.
That was a really funny and entertaining video, thanks Obi xxx
Yes, more obi puzzle videos please! He's the star of the show now 😉
Loved this, you are very good with him. More puzzles if he wants to do them. Thx
It will be hilarious when this becomes the most popular video on the channel.
That's one good boy!
Such a sweet dog!!must watch you solve puzzles all the tim! probably just waiting to show you up!!
Best video yet!! More doggy puzzles please 🐕🐕🐶
Saw this and had to get some for my cats! They absolutely love it!

Right off the bat, when you said Obie is a good boy, it melted my heart.

Definitely getting these for my pups. Thanks for the video!
Love these!!!!!! Great video!!
LoL! So cute! My dog doesn’t have patience. Last time I gave her a treat puzzle, she sat down after a couple minutes, looked at me, and whined.
OMG he is sooo cute!!! Need him in more of your vids, and yes of course he is a smart doggo, he takes after his dad!! Love ya lots.
Obi is so cute!! Such a good boy, so clever!
Love your dog. It also stimulates the skills of the dog. Also enjoy when solving your puzzle games. Kind regards from Birthe in Denmark
I just started this video, (like haven't even made it to the first puzzle yet), and already I am 1000% on board for more Obi content ❤❤
Such a fun twist. I’ve always wondered about puzzles for my dogs. I think only the ones that involve luck or brute force would work for mine though
I would love to see a part 2!
Ahh Obi is the goodest of boys and very clever! My boy Ollie also loves his puzzles as well, helps to be food motivated for sure. Cant wait for the next video!
3:08 is it just me but that good boy line literally felt like it came out of a horror film
Definitely I want to see more videos with your four pawed assistant. Thank you!
lmao I love this video so much. he is so stinking cute. Ive been binging your videos and this is in my top fav with escape room. his tiny little legs just make me so happy
Great job! Your pup could get the next championship belt from Wes!? Hehehe.
Your pup did so well. He deserves all those treats. That last one looked really complicated compared to the first ones.

Also, your dog is so extremely cute words fail me when I try to describe it, please give him all the pats in the world from me
I was crying from laughing so hard! Obi is adorable!
This is just so sweet. He's such a good boy. ^^
Great video keep up the amazing work man
Yessssssssss!!!! More Obi puzzling :D He did sooo well!
I just loved watching him try to kill the hotdog 🌭! that was hilarious! can't blame him on the level 3 one though, he was all tuckered out by then!
Omg Obi is such a sweet funny dog Chris .. the way he tackled the first 2 was savage but struggled on the level 3 and I think a lot of dogs would to be fair. My dog is a border collie but trust me shes stupid like that ha ha. I love the chemistry yo uhave together the human and dog friendship is just unbeatable to me. Hes gorgeous and I have been subbed to you for years now when you were in a small room doing puzzles. How far you have come is remarkable and I am so proud of you Chris and Obi you too buddy. Thank you for this different video Chris it was amazing to see ... love you and Obi ill be watching some more puzzle vids of yours right ... now
I loveeee when Obie is taking away the puzzles. He is so cute.
I love it. Obi is so funny.
omg Obie is my dream dog, the face, the tail the looks he gives you, my favorite video ever
I loooooved this so much. Would love to see some training!
The father son teaching moment on the last one is what i needed for today
One of your best videos!!!!
He is so cute and smart. But then that breed is known for being smart. It was great fun watching him solve the puzzles. Look out he might take over your channel and start solving your puzzles, LOL.
Lol he so cute 🥰 my husband has three dutchunds and I think they would probably just fight over the treats in the puzzles and possibly destroy it to get to the treats lol. Love the keep off rug 😆
Out Aussiedoodle loves puzzles!! She's just about 6 months old and is close to getting the level 3 puzzle here figured out.
My dachshund loved to zen chew just like obi! He’s been gone two years now and I still miss his funny ways including chewing up any cotton toy in minutes.
I had a rat terrier for 18yrs, he passed a couple years ago. Videos like this remind me how much I still miss him
Obi ❤️❤️ I love seeing Obi!! And you too Chris!
This was fun to watch! My dog can solve some of these puzzles too. Good thing to do during Covid.
Obi is 1,000 percent without a doubt the cutest and smartest little guy ever! I'm just wondering where obi's timer is 🤣🤣
I found myself doing the same thing with obi that I do with you when your solving...by yelling at my screen 🗣 "no obi turn it the other waaaaaaay!"
my dog Maggie LOVES her rolling puzzle toy! she has mastered it by now. Your video has inspired me to get another puzzle for her very soon. Maggie thanks you.
That last one is how everyone watching you from home is feeling. BRO JUST DO THE THING!!!!!
I laughed entirely too hard at the puzzle with the hot dog and cookie. Obie viewed them as the treat/toy so much he forgot about treats. lol.
Edit: after watching the whole video....You can tell he is a scent based dog, he goes to where the scent is and just pulls at where the scent is. So the puzzles where its simply flipping or digging where the smell is he is good at. If he has to move something at a location that doesn't smell of treat he ignores.
I honestly want more of this
I have that same level one puzzle for my dog, Nugget. You can turn the bones around to make it a LITTLE bit more difficult. I have to take them away from him right away though because he runs off with them and chews them haha
Ahh more more more!! I love him so much 😩❤
Also a kind of a number 4 of why this is good is because dogs are very intelligent creatures so they can use dog puzzles to keep them occupied
This is absolutely amazing Obi is a cool dog, my uncle had his terrer do all kinds of things. And my cat learned numbers.
Love those puzzles
Puzzle toys, and snuffle mats are great for mental stimulation, which is great for dogs who aren’t tired even after hours of play and walks! Or for those days where you can hardly get out of bed and pup still needs some exercise
So fun to watch!
Aww the dog is such a good boy!🥺

Love the 1st collar!
When they do that little sneeze thing, that means they're excited...along with the tail wag.
