Great interactive toy but my boy still to smart for it...lolWatch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1OVVD6DQEQNHP I was impressed by the design of this toy. Definitely one of the better interactive toys within it's price range. The dog is supposed to pull the rope to get the treat out. Well, my boy bypassed all that and within 20 minutes figured out he just had to tip the bottle to get the treats out. I put bigger treats in to keep him busy for longer and some pieces I still don't know to this day how he got them out before I got home from work. My only gripe with this toy, which is something the instructions don't tell you, is that the rope starts to stink after a while. I cleaned it with dish soap a few time but that was only a temporary fix. Put the rope in the washer and it frayed and came loose. I'm now using and old medium width leash that I cut and knotted up on both ends (small enough to still let the treats out but not to have him spill all at once), which will also be easier to wash since I don't have to worry about fraying. He's not as crazy about the toy now, but that's probably because he has to work harder for his "goods".
No More Big After Dinner Belches! :)My doggie always ate his food in one gulp and then let out a HUGE burp after eating because he gulped too fast! Now he is eating MUCH slower because he has to work for it. Product is new, so we have to help him still, but this turns it into an interactive play toy rather than a feeder. He never gets frustrated with it because it is fun for him to drag it around by the rope. Durable, fun for him, easy to fill, but I did think it is a little pricey.
Now if only I can get him to drink his water slower...
One of the few toys that gives me some down time.I have a German Shepard Dog, who is trained as a service dog. While out in public, he receives lots of stimulation, and if I'm asked first, he receives a lot of attention too.
As a service dog, he's with me 24 seven. Everywhere, everyday, all the time. He's a high energy dog, loves playing fetch with balls, but doesn't much like my tv, computer, or napping time. I love him dearly but everyone needs a little away time.
I've purchased a number of Busy Buddy toys for him. The number of Squirrels at two different sizes, and cut the bottom fingers different lengths so some drop out treats easier, some harder. He enjoys them, they bounce funny, but he can empty them pretty quickly. Which leads to them being dropped on my lap repeatedly, and not always in the best place.
I found the tug a Jug which I didn't expect to last a long time because of the hard plastic jug. I also figured he'd pull the rubber tug out by now time. Much to my surprise, he's been playing with it for almost a year with none of the problems I'd expected, other than having it dropped on my foot or lap.
I've been able to use his normal brand of Kirkland Chicken & Rice kibbles dog food, mixed in with some Beniful for a change of pace. By using his normal kibble, it keeps the cost down, and allows me to adjust his meal portion size accordingly.
It's also about the only toy he doesn't bring out to the back yard to hide and then can't find it again. Which sends me a clear message he is very focused on this toy.
Even though he's a large size dog, I didn't buy him the large size, in part because I prefer the rubber tug, in part it keeps the amount of treats down.
I highly recommend this toy (and toy line) for their design and not making it impossible to use normal kibble instead of expense treat products designed only for their toys.
I'd have given this 5 stars if they'd made the outside of the bottle with a rubber coating, or rubber bumpers so it isn't so noisy on non carpeted flooring.
very good treat dispenserThis is my dogs favorite toy. I got this last summer for my very anxious, smart 2 year old pit bull rescue to keep him occupied while working. He is very destructive to his toys but doesn't eat what he destroys. He spends an hour or more a day playing with it , not including while we aren't home. At first I fed him only from this toy, but now he's calmer so I feed him in his bowl too, but he generally prefers to feed out of the toy. I knew when buying he would chew the plastic rope off immediately, and he did. Some come with a nylon rope, which would take longer to chew off. Since I have the large, and the rope is gone, I put in one or more large treats (depending on how hard to dispense I want to make it) and regular size hard dog food and a few small treats that will fit through the neck. The rope definitely blocks well and can be replaced; for me it was easier to put a larger dog treat in to block. With the rope I needed to use small bite dog food because it came out very slowly, and he would lose interest. Interestingly he loves the enlarged end of the plastic rope to chew on (not good for swallowers). Very sturdy and easy to fill as long as you line up the spirals. He's never opened it. He knocks it around with his paws and nose and grabs the neck with his mouth and throws it around. So far no damage, but it is sturdy and could possibly break something when tossed. Worth the slight risk. After almost 8 months he began to chew off the plastic ring around the neck, which he loved doing, and does attract him to the neck where the treats come out. Recently he started chewing the neck off, which is why I'm buying another, but I plan on using this one until he gets down to where the neck is gone, as it still works and he still loves it.
Should be labled medium size dogsMy golden just picks up the bottle and dumps everything out. Larger dogs should use to big one that they can't get their mouth around.
