AUKL Interactive Dog Toys Wicked Ball Self Moving Motion Activated Ball

Update: The seller offered to have me sample a treat ball with my dog once they release it and offered to give me a full refund. They are very helpful and care about making the customer happy. They stated their purpose for keeping the button inside of the ball was to prevent a dog from accidentally pressing it while playing with the ball.I'm sure this is a great toy for a less nervous dog, unfortunately my dog is confused and maybe slightly scared of the fact that it moves on its own so we haven't used it much at all as she doesn't really want anything to do with it. This was shocking as she typically does like interactive toys but this just might be too interactive for her. I think it looks great and fun and there are no issues with it. I think the only thing I would change and am not a fan of is that I need to open the ball and pull out the machine from within the ball in order to change the setting, turn it off and on, or charge it. I especially feel this is tedious because when it is on, the ball is often moving while you're trying to open it. It's also a little more time consuming than I would wish any dog toy to be when it comes to managing it. I imagine that a dog that is very interested in the ball (especially a bigger dog) would probably be clawing and jumping on you to get the ball while you're having to do all this, making it a difficult task. This build also makes the ball heavy which could be a turn off to a smaller dog such as my own.

At first my dog (a shorkie) was scared of it and wanted nothing to do with this moving on its own ball..lol but now he loves it. He mostly barks at it, grabs it then repeats. Because he is known for destroying most chew toys, we don't allow him to "chew" on it. He can go for a hour or so then looses interest but will always play with it the next day..so not too bad of a toy. Works best on hardwood but will work on our carpet too.

My 5 month old boxer loves the ball but the rope constantly comes off. This week he swallowed the hole rope I learned during this stressful time that ropes are the most dangerous toys for our pets it can cause an obstruction in the intestines and stomach and that means major surgery with 50 percent success. I was so blessed after 30 hours of eating the rope my pup threw it up. Please don’t give your pups any ropes to play with we were very lucky

It's ingenious and he enjoys chasing it. We removed to rope to minimize choking risks, but that has not reduced his interest. One caveat, if you don't want your dog to bark, use this with caution. It's definitely stimulating.

the different modes are fun for the pet. Would prefer the exterior material to be soft so the dog can grab the ball.
