Donna Dog’s first wood IQ toy – Review

donna's first wood dog iq toy

Thanks to Mr P’s lovely colleague, Donna now has her very first IQ toy!

Before this, I have not done much research on IQ toys. But I like the raw, minimalist look of this puzzle toy. Shaped like a disc, it is made of some form of compressed wood so it is rather heavy.

This demo video shows you the two different trap door puzzles that hide treats or food from the dog – (1) two sliding disc covers and (2) two flapping trapdoors that can be lifted by pushing a knob.

More about how Donna finds it after the jump!

Look what I found hiding in the study!

I was clearing junk out of our cluttered study when I found blue dog.

Humans have a weird sense of humour.

She doesn’t do this with her smaller soft toys, but with her big ones, Donna is a head banger. Maybe it has a massaging effect on her face, that’s why she likes to swing her toy violently and smack her own head with it. I realised that her collar is too loose for her when one day, after a bout of high energy head shaking and intense clinking and clanging, she managed to shake her collar off entirely onto the floor.
