Dog Toy Ball On a Rope Reward for Pet Training/Playing/Chewing Solid Natural Rubber Tooth Cleaning Toys Mix HFYNHBERWVCFDREWDPLUOJGBDSAXZA666

Good quality rope and ball. My dog is pretty rough on stuff, and so far it has been excellent in the snow. Do wish it was brighter so I could find it easier.. but I'm half blind... :)

First things first, ignore 90% of these reviews. The reviews saying these balls didn’t last very long clearly don’t know what they’re meant for. These are not “drop and play” kinds of toys. They’re meant to be used as reward toys. Meaning they get used during training sessions for a quick game of tug to reward the dog for good behavior. These are NOT meant for unsupervised play, and not meant for dogs who don’t have reliable recall or drop/Aus commands. That being said, my dog is 95 pounds and stands 29” at the shoulder. She’s a big girl who plays rough. Immediately after opening the package, we did a quick training session with these reward toys. They held up EXTREMELY well. They are made of rubber which means she doesn’t shred them in one short game of tug unlike some of the foam reward toys you will come across. I did have to tighten the knot below the ball before using them, but that’s to be expected with any rope style toy. If your dog does not have a reliable drop command and they are any larger than maybe 25lbs, I would not suggest using the smaller ball. If Nikita didn’t have a reliable drop command, it would be incredibly easy for her to wind up choking on the smaller ball. Even the large ball is pushing it on choking hazard size for a large dog, but again, reliable drop commands are important.

I purchased these to use as rewards and to build drive during obedience training. I have a Cairn Terrier and they have enormous, rough mouths for small dogs because they are bred to kill vermin. These balls are wonderful. I cannot address their use as toys to play. They have such high value for my little guy that they are kept for training only. They are superior for that. Much better than tennis ball type balls on strings which he eviscerates with just regular tug play. The knot came undone on one but to me it was no big deal, I just re-tied it.

Pas convenable pour un bouvier bernois, elle l’a détruite en moins de 30 minutes et la Corde se défait facilement.

The balls were heavier than I expected and my dog does not like to engage with it even when I drag and throw them around to play with. To heavy duty for cattle dog
