Tough Toy, Tricky Controls
Tough Toy, Tricky ControlsI bought this for my dogs, Jovi and Ivy, because they’re way too smart for their own good and need constant stimulation. This ball is supposed to bounce, spin, move on its own, and even avoid furniture. It’s marketed as super durable, basically “indestructible,” and that part actually seems pretty accurate. My dogs are aggressive chewers, especially Ivy, and the outer shell feels very tough and well-made.Charging it was easy with the included USB-C cable. The indicator light lets you know when it’s ready, which I appreciated. You open the ball, remove the internal device, charge it, use the power button, then place it back inside and screw everything back together. The threading is smooth and perfectly aligned, and the design does a great job of hiding the seam so dogs can’t easily figure out where it opens — smart design.Here’s the honest part: the functionality has been inconsistent. Sometimes it works exactly as intended, moving and activating on its own. Other times, it just doesn’t respond at all. The weirdest part? Hours later, it’ll suddenly start up on its own and scare the life out of us from across the room. We’ve read the instructions multiple times and tried different settings, but it shouldn’t be this hard to use.Ivy didn’t mind at all — she happily grabbed it and tried to destroy it like her tiny, fluffy wrecking-ball self. But I wanted the interactive movement for mental stimulation, not just a fancy chew toy.Overall, the build quality is excellent and it feels very durable, but the controls and reliability need work. For something that’s supposed to be smart and interactive, it shouldn’t be this confusing or unpredictable.Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ (3 out of 5 stars) – Great potential, tough construction, but inconsistent performance and tricky controls hold it back.

Enjoyed by small hunting dog!
My dog is an aggressive chewer with teeth meant for dealing with rodents. This means any of the stuffed toys available only last minutes before being torn up. My dog seems to actually enjoy this most without being turned on. He will just chew on it and had not been able to tear the rubber off. When it’s turned on he will chase for a few minutes, but then for some reason the action changes to a loud annoying screech that annoys me, and scares my dog! Play time over. I do appreciate that it doesn’t use batteries and can be easily charged with the same charging cable I use for my cell.

Stopped working after a few minutes of use
I was very excited about this toy because I have a super active and intelligent dog that needs a lot of stimulation. When I first unboxed this and turned it on it jerked (rather than bounced) around which frightened her.So my advice (should yours actually work – see below) is to let your dog get used to this in the off position first – let them sniff it, and maybe roll it around a bit (it does not bounce).Then once they are ok with it, put it on gentle mode first – building up to the so called ‘wild mode’ which is really just erratic jerking and a bit of rolling. For the record the new kitten who is not risk averse, was very interested in this.Unfortunately after trying this out for a couple of minutes with my animals (who watched it from a safe distance), it stopped working. I charged it until the light turned green, to little avail.It worked for a minute or two and then nothing. I picked it up unscrewed it, made sure the lights were on etc, screwed it back securely, and sometimes I got a tiny bit of activity for a minute or so and then nothing. I repeated this process three times before getting fed up. It now sits stationary in the corner of the room.It’s possible I received a dud. Unfortunately based on this experience I cannot recommend this product however if you want to take a chance you might get one that works and your dog may enjoy it. I’m back to throwing our tried and tested somewhat chewed up tennis balls.
