Review: HIGH level of difficulty - This treat dispenser has a very high level of difficulty but great if your dog has figured out others too easily. It’s not as durable as I’d like (the first one cracked) but it’s the only treat toy I’ve found that takes a long time to empty. It’s easy to load with kibble and requires a lot of effort and focus from my dog. I have two dogs—the beauty and the brains. One hasn’t figured it out and has given up while the other took a few hours with some coaching. Now that she’s cracked the code, it still takes a good 15-20 minutes to retrieve a half cup of kibble. While it’s a bit expensive for a plastic canister and a rope, it’s been worth it since the other toys I’ve tried lasted my girl 2-3 minutes. And it’s totally safe unsupervised (but fun to watch when they get it)! I wouldn’t suggest for really small dogs because of the size and weight. If your dog can’t figure it out, you could always cut the rope out and see if they can flip it around to get the treats out of the nozzle. I can’t emphasize enough this is a highly challenging product.
Review: Great for the pup that loves to munch - I bought this for my treat-motivated, destruction prone Chihuahua-Jack Russell mix and she loves it. With the rope it is almost longer than her, but she loves to drag it around with her to wherever we are in the house and start working at getting the food out. I typically fill it half way up with small-dog kibble and even once the food starts coming out less frequently she'll keep at it because she can smell it and knows it's there. She'll probably play with it for 30 minutes or longer - which is really great for her. She never sits still unless she is in her crate or laying on someone in bed, so we'll take 30 minutes as a success. On another note, my Dachshund-mix could not be less interested in this. He is an older dog (8) and doesn't seem like he wants to be bothered with it. He was never one for complicated toys. Although, he does like hanging around when his little sister is playing with it and cleaning up any kibble she misses. ***** UPDATE 12/2013 - Removed 1 star. After around 5-6 months the bottle cracked and the lid no longer fastened on so it lost a lot of its function. The pup still enjoyed playing with the empty bottle and rope, but it's been awhile since she's taken it out of the toy box. I think I'd buy another one because she really did like it while it was intact.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The return of a classic!
*by V***L on May 12, 2019*

We were so excited to get this Tug-A-Jug! Veronica had one years ago, and it lasted quite awhile, but eventually the base cracked and it wouldn't screw shut. Veronica had developed a very efficient system in which she picks the jug up from the bottom, holds it upside down while at the same time stepping on the rope. This causes the kibble to fly out of the jug. Unfortunately years of gripping the end of the jug took it's toll. Our second Tug-A-Jug was just plain weird. For awhile they were replacing the rope with a rubber *rope*. It totally didn't work for Veronica and she hated it. Just recently I saw the Tug-A-Jug here on Amazon and it looked like the original design - with an actual *rope* made of rope (and yes, it is). It didn't take Veronica long at all to remember her old technique. Despite that she is a bit of a whiz at food puzzles (as most slightly overweight, extremely food motivated, convinced they are in a perpetual state of starvation, dogs tend to be); the Tug-A-Jug does slow Veronica down some and makes mealtime more of an "event" as opposed to over before I turn around from putting her kibble back in the cabinet. We love the Tug-A-Jug, reasonably sturdy and well made and a ton of fun. The sizing however is way off, and I first ordered the medium/large for dogs over 40 pounds because Veronica is 55 pounds and I didn't remember the size of our original toy. The medium/large is ginormous. Even with the small, Veronica's kibble dinner doesn't fill 1/4 of it (full disclosure, she also gets breakfast, lunch and snacks in addition to dinner - so we are not by any stretch of the imagination starving her). Still the small is plenty big enough. The mediem/large would have been too unwieldy for her. I had no problem at all exchanging my medium/large for the small.
