5 out of 5 stars The Power of Positive Reinforcement   April 3, 2008
Kelly Ballance (Lake Oswego, Oregon)
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

My dog quickly learned how to operate this toy, and has nosed it all over our 2400 sq foot house. I have left it down for them to chew on, but they seem to have more interest in rolling it around on the floor rather than toothing it to bits. They engage with this toy more than a similar toy that is cube shaped.

I love that I can fill this ball up with their kibble and they'll entertain themselves for hours pushing it down the stairs and around the house. It's a lot less noisy than the cube version. This toy is easy to clean up too, ran it right through the dishwasher with no problems. It was easy to teach them to bring the Tricky Treat Ball back to me for a refill when needed.

Ah, the power of positive reinforcement!

The activity of nosing it around so that treats fall out has resulted in treats falling out of the ball, while chewing on the toy has not resulted in treats, thus the behavior of rolling the ball is more likely to be repeated, and the chances of chewing reduced.

Brilliant! It means the ball will last longer!



2 out of 5 stars Losses attention before giving up any treats   December 15, 2005
Brandie Mccollum (Austin, Texas)

My dog is a basset, a hyper basset. He is always on the go and chewing various toys that we give to him. We baught this toy thinking he would use it alot (bassets are know for their noses) but when it does get his attention it is only for a brief time because no matter how much he rolls it and despite the different treats and amounts we have put into it, nothing comes out. They only come out some of the time when we try to do it ourselves.

Unless your dog goes for a while without enforcement, this toy is not for your dog.

I only wish we could return it.

Hope this helps.



5 out of 5 stars My dog loves it   April 20, 2007

This is by far my dogs favorite treat ball. He ate the other two and I bought this one hoping he wouldn't tear it up. We have had it over a year and it is still in great shape. Both of my friends bought this for their dogs (pointer, doberman, labradoodle) and they all love it. I highly recommend especially if your dog is destructive.


5 out of 5 stars The best dog-toy investment we've ever made   May 8, 2006

This is an excellent product! It's softer than the kong type balls, so it makes little noise rolling across the floor (great for appartments) and it won't damage any furniture when rolled. If it's not dispensing enough simply trim some material from the hole with a razor blade. This toy keeps both of our dachshunds' minds completely occupied while we are out - a very effective alternative to the seperation anxiety induced barking that they would normally resort to. I'd buy a case full if I had a place to store them!


1 out of 5 stars It dosn't work.   July 10, 2006

I got this toy for my 14 month old goldendoodle thinking she would love it and play with it all the time. She dosnt even touch the thing. No matter what treat or how much I put in the ball, I would come home and it would be untouched. I was hoping it would be like those dogs on tv pushing it around with their noses but they just dont do that. My dog is very smart and knows just about every trick in the book. If your dog can figure this ball out they are very smart. If anyone has any tips for me on how to get your dog to use this please tell me them. I very much regret buying this product.
