Is this toy suitable for puppies?
This is a Level 4 puzzle, which is generally too advanced for puppies. It is better suited for adult dogs that are experienced with puzzle toys.
Can the toy be left with the dog unattended?

What is the size of the unit?

Troubleshooting
The toy slides around on the floor.
Ensure the rubber base ring is clean and free of dust or debris, and verify that the toy is placed on a smooth, hard surface rather than a thick carpet.
The dog is frustrated and won't play.
Simplify the setup by removing one of the arcs or reducing the number of sliding elements until the dog understands the goal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, place the Skills Loop on a hard floor to allow the non-slip base to function properly. You can arrange the two arcs in different configurations based on the training instructions provided. For maintenance, simply detach the sliding elements from the base and place them in the dishwasher on a standard cycle. The metal and plastic base should be wiped down with a damp cloth; avoid submerging the base unit entirely if it contains non-removable parts to prevent potential corrosion of the metal components.
