PETGEEK Automatic Dog Treat Dispenser with Button – Puzzle Memory Training Dog Button Feeder, Pet Geek Button Treat Food Dispensing Dog Toys Interactive, Iq Training Dog Feeder (Blue)

A great automatic feeder, keeps my puppy occupied!
I have a highly energetic Labrador puppy, and I got this when he was 4 months old. I’ve been using it every day since then, and he’s now 9 months old. This is just one of the many enrichment activities and exercises he gets each day, and it’s become an important part of how I feed him.To train him, I started by placing the button close to the dispenser and manually adding kibble to the tray each time I pressed it. He quickly caught on, so I then added kibble to the dispenser while keeping the button nearby. It took him about 10-15 minutes to get used to the sound of the rotating dispenser and understand that it meant something good was coming.That evening, I moved the button further away, and he figured it out – there’s been no looking back since!The dispenser requires 4 C batteries, and the button needs 3 AAA batteries. While the button batteries last a long time, the dispenser batteries tend to die quickly if you use it daily. I bought 8 rechargeable batteries, and they’ve been working great so far.I recommend this feeder to anyone who’s looking for an additional way of feeding along with exercise/enrichment for their dogs.

Great for treats or kibble!
I really like this product and so does our pup. We’ve used it for treats and for kibble.. He definitely prefers kibble.Pros – It keeps your pup busy. It’s pretty easy to figure out how to assemble and use. It can easily be adjusted to dispense different sizes and amounts. It isn’t too loud and makes just enough noise for your pup to catch onto the sounds and know when it is dispensing. Works from a good distance if you want your pup to go a ways to get the treats.Cons- It doesn’t come with a plug for a regular outlet so you will need your own. Sometimes it takes a few tries to get it lined up right before it starts dispensing. It has stopped dispensing while it still contained treats. The button comes with a suction cup that didn’t work great.. At least not on our hardwood floors. And if your dog is rough with it they can easily flip the button over and/or knock the top off of the machine.

be patient with your pup – then be prepared!
We have a rescued standard poodle about 1 year old. She is very timid with new things and this took a little bit to get her used to it. We tried the peanut butter on the button trick and then we were on!She absolutely loves this and it is a great way for us to build up her weight and strength while keeping that busy mind entertained.We did have to build a stand to raise the button up for her. Similar to her food bowl stand. She is more comfortable with it up a bit higher.We will switch to the USB cord for te base unit once those batteries wear out. Turnning off the button is easy enough.I am very pleased with this item and expect we willget our money’s worth from it.

Great stimulation and exercise for your dog
We purchased this remote feeder for our miniature American shepherd puppy. This breed needs LOTS of exercise and continuous stimulation/job. This feeder is a wonderful addition to our collection of puzzles. Open the top and there is a barrel to hold the kibble. We feed 1 cup and it is about 3/4 full at 1 cup. Insert the barrel, turn the unit on and either plug in or have batteries inside. The remote button takes batteries also. It has two different sound cues so the dog knows that the remote was successfully pressed. You put the remote where you want it – it can hang by suction (we did not do this) or it can be placed on the floor.We started out with the remote next to the feeder. It took only two times of hitting the button for our pup to understand how it worked. When the button is pressed, there is a chime or tone and the barrel rotates, dropping some kibble in the tray. The opening on the barrel is adjustable. We started moving the feeder and button to different locations to add a challenge each feeding. Sometimes I create an obstacle course for our pup to go through to get to the button. I don’t know about the exact transmission range, but we can put the button on the lower level and the feeder on the second floor or put the button at one end of the hall and the feeder in the opposite end of the next room, some 30 feet away and it works great.Our dog LOVES the feeder and loves the challenges we give him ever meal time. It takes about 30-35 minutes for our pup to eat from this feeder with our setup (pup is 6 months old). I highly recommend this feeder if you have a dog that needs a job and needs to be busy all the time and needs more exercise. Note: the first one we purchased would not connect. It was easily returned and the second one has worked like a charm for 2 months, 2x a day.

It’s just the freaking button. How do you get to do anything that is described with just the button? Where do you put the treats? How is this a pet dispenser? How are any of the pictures/videos on the advertisement relevant?Total rip off.

Bought this product for stimulation for our Lab. He worked out how to use pretty quickly but get disappointed as after a few turns the dispenser starts making a loud clicking sound and doesn’t drop any food. Being food obsessed he then starts barking at the machine. Not sure what the issue is. Frustrating when they do the right thing for no reward. We end up having to give it a shake to get food to dispense. For cost you would think it would work longer than a few times before having an issue
