So I have a very large dog, he is mixed, half Dalmatian and half golden retriever. He is the sweetest dog alive but he does not at all like to play fetch or anything like that, I don’t know if it’s because he is lazy or what. 😆 So we were looking for other toys we could try for him and came across this ball. He was skeptical at first but now he loves it. It’s so cool and such a great idea for a pet toy. So you charge it and it moves on its own, it has different settings, like it can slowly roll around or it can erratically zig zag it does it all. He loves it, he paws at it, he follows it around, he sometimes tries to catch it. It keeps his attention for quite a while. Like I said he is big so I thought he would have the ball destroyed in no time but he hasn’t and it’s pretty durable. We also don’t leave it out all day, we put it out when he plays with it and then when he’s done we plug it up so it’s ready for next time!! Read more
I bought this for my besties dog. It’s a great toy! It has three modes for different levels of interactions. I love that it can bounce on its own. It charges pretty quickly and the charge lasts a long time. If the outside ever becomes worn down, you can replace it. It’s also very quiet which I know is appreciated. Read more
I have a 65 pound Aussie, SOUL and a 50 pound Belgian Malinois Shepherd mix, WILLOW who crave activity. Willow has a very high prey instinct and Soul is very curious and smart. I purchased 5 different bouncing balls to test and this is the only one that survived. I will say the cheeper plastic ones had far more action and one even had lights and music but they didn't even last one day. Size matters. The first & 2nd balls really engaged them but were too small. They had a lot of action and roll, constant movement. But, one bite stopped the party! I wish they made these larger. The third ball required batteries and it was by far their favorite with lights and music but the rubber nibs used to protect the plastic body fell off on the first run. I put them back on but they continued to fall off. The dogs cracked the body. I rubber banded it together but it just couldn't hold up. The fourth ball is similar to this one but it has a large recessed button to power on and change modes. I like it better because I don't have to unscrew it to charge it or power the modes. Unfortunately, my Aussie was able to bite the button off. I always supervise their play but Soul is the master of destroying the most advertised indestructible toys, especially if they have squeakers. So even though the playability function of this ball is less exciting, it is the most durable and a good size. I just wish they could ramp up the movement modes. Read more
This amazed us. For perspective, we're talking about a three year old white german shepherd who if he's in the mood, has and can kill a toy within minutes or oddly enough be gentle with furry balls and carry them around as if they are his babies. He's an odd duck. Anyway, since he was a pup, and to this day, he'll play and entertain himself, he'll grab a ball, throw it up in the air, then pounce on it as if it's from outer space. It's really quite cute and funny. Because of those two things I was looking for something interactive that would entertain him and confuse him....let's be honest, watching a confused dog is one of life's great pleasures. I tried two other interactive balls and they were crushed immediately. After reading a lot of reviews, people with german shepherds said this ball actually had a life span. I thought the third time could be the charm and ordered one. Well, I think it actually may be from outer space because he's obsessed with it and hasn't taken a bite out of it. He hasn't once chewed it or even teared little pieces off. The three settings are great. Sometimes he likes one better than another, then forgets about the others. I'll change it up to one he hasn't seen in a while and the whole game starts over again. He'll throw it up in the air as he does with his others, watch it and try to figure out which way it's going to go. And yes, he will pounce on it if he times it right. The size is perfect, it's heavier than your average ball but, that's what make it sturdy. I have to sneak it away when he isn't paying attention to charge it, otherwise he'll sit, stare and cry if he knows it's on the counter charging. It's a lot of fun for all of us. I'm so happy I bought it...... I say give this ball a chance even if you have a beast with killer instincts. I'm buying another for a friends 2 year old golden retriever granddog. Thank you Cheerble.

I have a Belgian Malinois, so you can imagine the Maligator jaws. Just opened this today and let her play with it indoors. She LOVES IT. It wore her out and it’s a toy she can really stay focused on without needing me to throw or roll for her. It moves on its own! I supervised her play. I was hoping it was too big to get under the couch, but no. It goes right under it. I had to block off the gap so I didn’t have to keep getting it out from under for her. The outter “shell” is very durable! When she had resting moments, she chewed it pretty good - I could hear the material squeaking against her teeth. I was worried she was tearing it up, but nope! Not a mark on it. It’s easy to set up and operate. It needed charging before play. After hours of play, she was able to somehow unscrew the outter shell. This concerned me bc the smaller, inner ball mechanism came out but I saw it right away and was able to put it back together. So, make sure it’s screwed together tightly (which I thought I had done without breaking it) and check it from time to time to make sure it hasn’t loosened. This is a great ball for her incredible high energy drive. It gives her the work and fun play she needs to get tired, which I love. This toy is on the expensive end, but so far it’s worth it. Now we’ll see how long it lasts! Read more
Great toy for any dog but battery doesn’t last long even on the low setting. Probably would not buy again if this one dies. Read more
