The perfect toy for your dog
I was looking for this exact product. I know from experiance that this ball is indestructable. This is the only toy my dogs can not chew up.Of course it get wet.Its in their mouth, do I care? I could care less. I get more joy out of watching my guys play with these balls, I could care less if they get wet.Every night Toby hunts his ball down and sleeps with it. I already had 2. Cesar hid one. So I got 6 more.Both of my dogs are rescue dogs and these balls are perfect for helping them learn its ok to share and its ok to let it go, becuase it will always be there. When you bring a rescue dog into your home you are often times confronted with unknown behavior problems due to neglect or abuse. Resource guarding is one I'm dealing with now. The 7 I have now (one has gone missing for about 5 months,) make it possible to work with this problem. They dont get damaged, perfect for playing by themselves. They throw them up in the air and run after them. Toby throws it up in the air, drop in the snow, buries it, and digs it right up to start all over. It may be hard to understand how this one toy could help a dog learn to trust a human being. This one toy has made that possible. It's indestructablity is a big reason. They can chew on it, thow it, and it bounces so they can chase it. Toby and Cesar are what would be considered big dogs. Very few toys survive more than 15 minutes. The 2 I had already have been around for about 2 years and at most you can see a few scratches on them. (Call that one, because the 2nd one has disappeared.) ******************************** UPDATE: All 7 kong balls are in great shape and this is more then one year later then the above review. And the One that disappeared has never reappeared. Toby is doing well reguarding the resource guarding and has learned to actually give the ball up to a human being.And he still hunts one of the balls down everynight before he goes to sleep. Interestingly enough they can tell the balls apart and have their favorites. You can tell which ones those are simply because they just arent shiny any more. The worse damage is simple a few teeth marks and thats all. They are all still in one piece. There are no pieces out of them and the teeth marks are only impressions that have been made on the balls and thats all. This is still the only toy they have not been able to tear apart. These kong balls are going to be around for a very long time. Update two: This is Oct 14th, 2012 and all 7 balls still in near perfect condition. Ive seen my dogs try and chew on them and they have a great time and I cant believe that to this day as mentioned above only a few teeth marks are visable. This is short and ment to tell you that these kong balls will last for im sure years to come. I did panick one day because 5 balls went missing. Took about an hour and found all 5 hidden behind the A/C unit. Cesar seems to take great pleasure in hidding the balls from toby. These balls have helped Toby he now will bring the ball to u and release just so he can watch you try and get to it first before he does which he is successful at 100% of the time. He is so proud of him self that after he grabs it he rolls over on his back and starts to wiggle around waiting for you to continue the game, you're suppose to try and pull it out of his mouth and when you stop trying he drops the ball and then he looks at you then the ball than you, then the ball waiting for the game to start again. and he still hunts one down at night to go to sleep.
