This is the best thing i have bought for my dog! He got the hang of the button fairly quickly and it’s really joyous to watch him sprint around for the food after pressing the button! Perfect for when you are ill or on those low exercise days for the dog! Well worth the money. Takes 4 x C batteries (optional) and 3 x AAA batteries (required). Easy to clean with a disinfectant wipe and removing the food barrel. Variety of ways to hold and place the button!

I brought this for my Labrador & it took less than 5min for him to figure it out. It's really good & funny to watch. U can adjust the ball inside of the machine so that u can restrict the amount of food that comes out/adjust it to the size of your dog's kibble.It's a great memory exercise, while also having them wlk2& from the machine, bk to wherever/how far away u put the button&provides more podgy dog's to shed some kg's while doing so &slows eating down.Button isn't good at sticking though.

....my 18 month old border collie is not food driven. She'll do anything for her favorite toy though. So this doesn't work well on it's own for us. She is not eager at all to press the button so she can have a treat or a bit of her food. I had to add a step in between. Press the button, the reward is to throw her favorite toy which she brings back to me and puts it in my hand and then she has the reward out of the tray for bringing it back, eagerly. The dispenser is a bit hit and miss though.

I had one of these before which my dogs loved. I bought another one because you can plug this one in and it cost less than replacing the batteries all the time. The plug is no longer working. It feels like it isn't connecting properly. So back to batteries. Also the tray has come loose too.

..that the product didn't work in our case - not even 2 hours ago we went & bought one after finding it in pet store's website; would've been great activity game for our 2 shelties (aged 1 & 11) but guess we got a bad apple. nothing wrong with the batteries. there's both of the sounds when pressed the button, not always though, and not once has it release any treats, only when pressed the reset button but that's to correct the treat container's position.. we were really looking forward to it =(

Definitely recommend this! Our Working Cocker Spaniel loves this interactive food game. The button can be placed in another room and she finds it and then runs for the food dispenser, on and on. Great design, does sometimes drop out too many biscuits (ie the game finishes more quickly)

This arrived yesterday and we had much excitement from our Dalamatian pup as we set it up. Didn't even have to show him how to use it - he had it completely sussed within seconds and it was very quickly emptied! He's just 12 weeks old so not sure how long this will keep him entertained for.

My cocker spaniel loves this , I could see her working it out. Only took 15mins . She now gets her meals via this toy. Only drawback releases too many treats or none , hard to regulate. Very good mental work out.

Bought this for our Springer spaniel X Labrador as a Christmas present & she absolutely loves it. She'd already learned the 'tag' command so figured it out far too quickly. Last week she got a bad cut on her leg & was told to only walk on a lead for 10 days, this frustrated her immensely, as she normally gets two 1 1/2 hour exercise each day. Today I brought it out again & she was absolutely over the moon to be allowed the opportunity to do a bit of running again. I would totally recommend it!

Mental stimulation is just as important as physical stimulation with many breeds and this memory trainer keeps my dogs on their toes. Can't wait till the weather gets better and I can start putting the button much further away from the dispenser in the garden.

I bought this for my Sheltie, mainly to utilise for agility training as it provides a reward at a distance without me being present to help with working independently and drive. It was particularly useful for teaching weaves as I found she was looking at my hands for the reward all the time rather than driving forward. Negatives for me are that sometime too much kibble is released or none at all and button can be quite sensitive when you're running but overall great value.

My cocker spaniel loves it. After nearly twice daily use for a year the original one stopped communicating between button and main unit. I didn't hesitate to get another. She can be a bit lazy so sometimes needs cheering on from the sidelines! I would definitely recommend it.

I bought this for my GSP for Christmas and to say he loves it is an understatement! He begs me daily to play with it. I put one of his meals in it and he works hard for it. Not had any problems, and even with a super enthusiastic GSP pushing the button still going strong. Dread the day it stops working, I'll be forced to buy another. Best purchase in a while

So disappointed that the unit isn't working. Going to buy some fresh batteries just in case but there's no red light telling me they are low. No instructions on setting up. Treat does not appear in tray.

My dogs loved this. Reacted to the noise, understood the connection between the noise and the treats, HOWEVER, the interaction between the press pad and the reaction pod stopped very quickly, which meant the noise happened, but no treat! Very confused dogs and disappointed owners.

This is well worth the money, the button have two different sound settings and you can adjust the size of the hole in the treat dispenser to accommodate larger sized treats.

Bought after reading the reviews but was concerned may be a little too advanced for my 6 month old boxer puppy.......he loves it!!!. He has already been taught the 'touch' command, so just showed him the button and said touch and after the 3rd go he figured out what he had to do. I'm using his dry food from his food allowance plus a few of his broken up treats as a 'jackpot' reward, and now we move the button, hide it and it's fantastic mental stimulation. His tail starts wagging as soon as he sees it it is a very high quality, well thought out item, a light on the button would be the only thing to improve it further.

it took our labrador girl 15 minutes to figure it out. now she uses it like a kibble ATM. she runs around the house looking for the button, pushes, waits to hear the sound of kibble coming out, then rushes to the dispenser. she adores it. we have a great time laughing as we watch.

Bought to amuse two Boxer dogs when it's two wet outside to have a run around the Garden. In general it works well, we use some of their daily kibble allowance in it rather than buying extra treats , that way we know how much they eat a day and can control their weight. I was doubtful how long the button would last with a Boxer as they tend to get over excited about pushing a button :) but so far so good. Could have been five stars if the button had a light option in it for a deaf dog

Before we got the memory trainer, our Border Collie pup thought she was part Labrador when it came to meal times. You put her food down and it will be gone a little after removing your hand. Now that we have the memory trainer she gets part of her dinner in a bowl and the rest goes into the machine, mealtimes take a bit longer now and she has fun at the same time. when she was 14 weeks old, at first she would not go anywhere near the touch sensor, she is wary of sounds, but a bit of coaxing and the cat enjoying himself touching the sensor and getting dog food (his favorite) was just too much for her. After that it took 2 minutes to work it out and she was off, touch and eat. Now the sensor is at one end of the room and the dispenser at the other. She runs back and forth between them and is always disappointed when the food has gone. She did have the advantage of being trained to touch which helped her figure it out.
