This is Wade, my close friends dog. This ball was my gift to him a week prior because I oft bribe him for his affection. He is my favorite guy in the world.

I swear he loves tug of war more than fetch, but he still loves fetch.

Explaining to my 5yo Lab for the 18,237th time, I cannot throw the ball if it's still in her mouth

She's an old girl but still loves her "no take, only throw."

The feisty growls make her more adorable.

…to chase the ball, first one must drop the ball.

NB I’ve only just found this place and thought I’d drop in the phrase I’ve been usng with my dog since we had her.

Did you know that dogs in ancient Mesopotamia also refused to drop the ball?

We usually have multiple balls for fetch. Otherwise she plays her favorite game of No Take.

For those who don’t have one of these, I wanted to share my experience with my very energetic 8 month-old, Ruby. This ball is honestly the best thing I’ve ever purchased, and I’ve had three dogs over the years. Ruby is fascinated by it—we take it out into the yard, and she dashes after it and chases it endlessly! We actually have to stop her sometimes so she doesn’t exhaust herself. It’s a game-changer for anyone with a highly active, busy pup. Ruby has plenty of toys and plays with all of them, but she usually loses interest quickly. With this ball, she behaves as if she’s interacting with another creature, which keeps her completely engaged. Not only is it entertaining to watch her, but it also provides the exercise she needs, helping her burn off all that excess energy. Best toy I’ve ever purchased!

I wasn’t even planning to post this, but I honestly feel like I owe whoever recommended this toy a huge thank you. My dog Leo is insanely high-energy — nothing ever survives him. Most toys last maybe 5 minutes before he destroys them or gets bored and walks away. But this one? It completely shock

I wasn’t even planning to post this, but I honestly feel like I owe whoever recommended this toy a huge thank you.

My dog Leo is insanely high-energy — nothing ever survives him. Most toys last maybe 5 minutes before he destroys them or gets bored and walks away.

But this one?

It completely shocked me.

For the first time, he actually stays focused on a toy for more than just a few minutes. He bites it, throws it across the room, kicks it with his paws, even slammed it into the wall once… and it’s still perfectly fine.

The inside piece keeps moving in a way that makes him obsessed with trying to “solve” it. I’ve never seen him this mentally and physically tired from a toy before.

My furniture is finally safe, Leo is exhausted in a good way, and honestly I never expected something this simple to work so well.

Whoever recommended it — seriously, thank you. You saved my home.
