Which puzzle toy for puppy?

I've got an Amazon voucher for doing a clinical trial and I want to get my pup a good related puzzle. Nina Ottosson is usually recommended but which one? She's a 16 week old cocker spaniel.
Thanks!

I find some puzzle toys are quite short lived or you have to be there supervising the dog each time.
Something like a kong wobbler, a lickimat or a snufflemat are good.

I do have the ‘tornado’ which takes a while to fill but it very good. I tend to put sticky things like peanut butter etc in some of the holes so it takes them longer to get it out v biscuit.

My puppy picked up any puzzle toy and shook it till the food bits dropped out. The best was a Kong stuffed with peanut butter and frozen, or a roast marrowbone stuffed with mild Cheddar.

She has ignored her kongs so far. All they've been is a pain in the ass to clean for me 😂 will revisit!

Kong wobbler is different from normal kong and much more interactive

@RunningFromInsanity thank you I thought it looked the same! Will pop for one now

My pup just barks as the Kong wobbler it wasn't a success at all and I had to hunt high and low for it at the time.

My favourite puzzle toy is the challenge slider. I can just about get a whole meal in it for my lab.

The gnawt a rock is my favourite treat/kibble dispensing toy.

I wouldn't waste your money.

Maybe buy something like a snuffle mat or lick-mat, or a slow feeder bowl instead.

My old dog liked kongs but would get bored with them soon.
But he loved trotters, pigs ears , if you can get them from the Butcher's and toast them yourself that way your pooch gets yo lick the roasting tin too and the shop bought ones tend to be over roasted so fall a part easy.

Also look at antlers ( they bloody pong) but some dogs adore them my dog wasn't that keen on them

Ffs ROAST them don't toast them 🤪* *

Well the kong wobble small one is almost as tall as her and she's not interested yet 😂

Have a lick I'm at and I thought she would be too young for trotters and ears - she's 4 months next week.

So far empty plant pots are her favourite thing 😂
