Monti (Small)

A Montessori-inspired snuffle ball in the middle of the MONTI range. The Lambwolf Small MONTI is a 12cm (5") ball built from three flat pieces that fit together to form a sphere — with 8 treat slots, 8 hidden squeakers, and crinkle paper tucked throughout. Every session engages your dog's nose, ears, and paws at once. The wide open slot design also makes foraging comfortable for flat-faced breeds. And when the session is over, the whole ball comes apart for a proper wash. Available in Mint, Pine, and Blush.

How It Works

Assemble the three flat pieces to form the MONTI ball. Tuck treats into any of the 8 treat slots around the sphere and hand it to your dog. As they nose and paw at the ball, 8 hidden squeakers and internal crinkle paper reward every investigation. When the session is done, pull the ball apart into its three flat pieces for a quick or thorough clean.

Multi-mode play — nosework, snuffle, squeak, and crinkle all in one toy. Fill every slot for a long session, or just two or three for a quicker hit.
Three-piece disassembly — the ball comes apart into three flat pieces. That's three toys in one ball, and a proper clean between sessions.
Progressive challenge — start with treats in just one or two slots and build up as your dog's confidence grows. Fill all 8 for a full enrichment session.

Air-dried treats work best. They hold their shape inside the slots, don't crumble, and don't grease the fabric. Freeze-dried treats also work well — and if they crumble during play, the MONTI's disassemble-and-wash design means the leftover crumbs aren't a problem. Browse our treats collection for air-dried and freeze-dried options that fit neatly into the 8 slots.

The MONTI Range

Small MONTI sits in the middle of a three-size Montessori snuffle ball family:

MONTI Mini — the smallest at 3", perfect for puppies and toy breeds.
Small MONTI — the middle size at 5" / 12cm, suitable for all pet sizes.
MONTI Regular — the biggest at 6" / 15cm, best for medium and large dogs.

All three share the same 3-piece disassembly design, 8 slots, 8 squeakers, and crinkle paper.

Care Instructions

Pull the three pieces apart and machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild, pet-safe detergent. The flat-piece format means every surface gets cleaned thoroughly — ideal for crumbly treats or post-session maintenance. Air dry fully before reassembling and returning to your dog. Do not tumble dry.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I set up the Small MONTI for nosework?
Assemble the three flat pieces to form the ball. Tuck treats into any of the 8 slots and hand the MONTI to your dog. Load all 8 for a longer session, or just one or two for a quicker hit of enrichment.

What treats work best?
Air-dried treats are our top recommendation — they hold their shape inside the slots, don't crumble, and don't grease the fabric. Freeze-dried and other dry training treats also work well. The Small MONTI's disassemble-and-wash design means crumbly treats are fine too — everything rinses out cleanly. You can browse our treats collection for suitable options. Avoid wet food or anything sticky.

Which MONTI size should I choose?
The MONTI Mini (3") works best for puppies and toy breeds. The Small MONTI (5" / 12cm) suits all pet sizes and is the most versatile of the three. The MONTI Regular (6" / 15cm) is best for medium and large dogs who prefer a more substantial toy to work with.

Is this suitable for beginner dogs?
Yes. The Small MONTI offers an adjustable challenge — start with treats in just one or two slots for the first few sessions, let your dog succeed, and build up to all 8 as their confidence grows. The three flat pieces can also be used separately as a mat-style snuffle for an even simpler starting setup.

Is the Small MONTI suitable for flat-faced breeds?
Yes — the 8 treat slots around the sphere have wide, open entries that make foraging comfortable for flat-faced (brachycephalic) breeds such as French Bulldogs, Pugs, and Shih Tzus. No deep or narrow pockets that make foraging difficult for shorter snouts.

Can the Small MONTI be washed?
Yes — pull the three pieces apart and machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild, pet-safe detergent. The flat-piece format cleans thoroughly. Air dry fully before reassembling.
