Having hard time squeezing hard enough to get a wide opening to insert treats. Any suggestions?

I don't put treats in mind and my dogs still play with it constantly. I have a friend who puts peanut butter in her dog's bone so you might try that. Hope this helps!

Try using something dog can lick--cream cheese (squeezable strips), Cheez-whiz (in an aerosol can) or peanut butter.

I just left it empty for my dogs to chew on. I'm sure Rawhide Twist Sticks Dog Treats would work

Dentastix work perfectly! I cut them to the proper length & my bulldog takes around 45 minutes to get the bone cleaned out.

I had trouble at first too .. I think there are clear stickers/tape that hold the top and bottom of the tray together that you need to remove before it will open easily. Look very closely and see if you can find and remove them and then try again!

I can think of a few things - one, you have to make sure that you have everything screwed on tightly before you click the press. Two, you have to make sure that there is an escape for any air trapped to get out the cookie opening before you click. If you dough is too thick (or possibly too cold) or there is too much air trapped, it will try to relieve the pressure by popping apart instead of pressing a cookie out.

You can try a syringe. I tried one, ...as well as pastry bags, they mostly worked, but it took a TON longer and it was a much bigger mess. I hate having extra kitchen gadgets around, but when you are doing 20-30 packs at a time, I found this filling station made things go much more smoothly... I wanted to hate it. I love it.

We use Lean Treats, I think that is what they are called. They are soft and malleable, allowing me to squeeze them a bit so they fell out easily. Takes a bit of effort though. Quite a lot of fun for our dog.

Well..I usually dampen my fingers prior torubbing them to open the bag. 99% of thetime one try and the bag is open. Hope thishelps.

Run warm water over the bottom of the tray first. Some foods pop out easier than others.

I carefully used a strong, wide, flat head screwdriver to pry up one edge, (go deep! about 1/2 " don't stab yourself! and be careful not to catch the battery underneath) continue to pry up until it pops out. It IS very difficult to get open as there is a lip underneath above the batteries that help hold it in. A pain, but you don't want that popping out while your dog plays with it. There are 2 batteries once you get inside. Takes me a few minutes to get it open.

You need to really squeeze it! Use your thumb & index finger. I initially had the same issue BUT got the hang of it in less than 30 seconds. Don't return it! Works great but the size is small so therefore the distance that it can be seen is limited.When I walk the dog at night I also take a flashlight & wear a safety vest with reflective strips.

Push up from the bottom with moderate pressure. The silicone is very tough, don't have to be too gentle with it. Helps if all of the cavities are filled to the same level at the brim.

I had a lot of trouble with that also. I cut some slits on edge of lid so it would flare out further--not the best solution. They are still very hard to open and close. I have had buckets like this before and not had as much trouble.

you could use a slotted spoon. I have tough fingers so I just reach in and pinch two of the tabs and lift out.

Try pushing down on the top then opening at the same time. I think that it is a safety feature. Hope that helps.

I have to put my dog in from lifting her and put her butt first. The mesh does unzip that how you put the dog in. I don't know about poking her head out. From the pad that they lay on its about 8 inch or more deep. I guess you could put a pillow in there for your dog. That might work!

It is really hard to open the first time with the cardboard in there. I laid my arm across the front (above the latch pushing down) while over top of it, while I put my fingers up behind the red pull up button. You will hear the lock click open. It is really tight from the suction. You have to push down with your forearm hard the first time, after that it is a bit easier.

Use a butter knife to loosen the edge of the suction cup. Ive had to do that to break the seal. They do hold on well but needs to because the feeder is pretty heavy when full
