Sorry, I am not sure whether a dog will enjoy this toy but if you ever get a cat, I highly recommend it. Come to think of it, my cat sometimes thinks he is a dog. I even taught him to sit, on command when I feed him. He still doesn't get the concept of the word Stay. Sorry this answer wasn't helpful but thanks for the opportunity to talk about my cat. The only concern I would have is that a dog's mouth is much larger than a cat's. If a dog gets their teeth around the ball, they may be able to pop it out of the track. Depending on the dog, they may try swallowing the ping-pong sized ball, that's a bad thing. Sorry, I am not sure whether a dog will enjoy this toy but if you ever get a cat, I highly recommend it.

I got one for my 70# Labrador, a 2-yr-old, who has managed to destroy every toy we've gotten her, the only exception being the large Kong, until this ball. She quickly learned to remove the tasty inserts, so now we put biscuits inside the ball itself (it's made to do that) and she hasn't destroyed it yet, going on 6 months. PS for outside play, if you have some space, the large "Jolly Ball" made for horses holds up well, too.

Yes I have 2 and my son plays where the dogs try to catch it. We love this item. Sometimes I attach a toy so the can chase it.

sorry for delay on your response. This ball is a strange toy the first one broke when it fell of my bed onto the hard wood floor and now the second one does work when my dog starts to chew on it or when you walk by it. You may have a dud return it and get a new one.

I bought this toy for my son's dog as well as my own. My son's dog is an 8 month old lab/boxer mix that loves to chew, and the toy is still intact after more than a week of use.

Yes, My shepherd is an aggressive chewer and she hasn't hurt this toy at all in the few months we've had it! I highly recommend it!

Don't think this particular toy would be a good pick for a smaller dog. I purchased for a 7 month old german shepherd and she occasionally trips over it when she is dragging it around the house since this is a really long toy. If sold with a shorter body you would probably be ok.

Depends on the breed and your interest and patience. This toy is really about your relationship with your dog. Our 4 mos old Aussie really enjoyed working with us to figure this out, but needed the guidance and step by step clues to complete. It is NOT a toy that puppysits like food balls and stuffed Kongs. This is like a tutoring session and for some dogs, like our adult Shiba, it was way over his head.

Yes you do and this I knew only after returning it. As long as that is resolved, it may be a great toy. I think I also bought it when my child was too young to play with it. She is 2 now and she may enjoy it way more than a year ago.

My dog is bigger than a toy.He is poodle /mini schnauzer mix. He is a chewer and too smart for toy.He figured out how to open it and get treats out. His teeth never got stuck in it.

I have one. It's pretty hefty. When my neighbors dogs are barking and annoying me I throw it at them and they run away. So yes, it does work pretty well on dogs. ;)

No, this isn't good for real chewers. We have Shepards and this lasted for a few months, but they didn't chew on it that often. I recommend the KONG X-Large Bounzer Dog Toy (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_pg_3?rh=n%3A2619533011%2Cn%3A2975312011%2Cn%3A2975413011%2Ck%3Akong&page;=3&keywords;=kong&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1399747102) for chewers. We have had this for a long time and it has still not been destroyed after a lot of chewing.

The mini is NOT too small for a 20 lb. dog. I bought the larger cube when my poodles got older, and it is my opinion that the big one is too big for almost any dog. My "boys"' would still use it now, but I have 3 of them, and they would fight over it. The mini is suitable for any age or size dog, unless it's a giant breed. It's the best dog toy I've ever found. the first one, now 12 years old is still being used by a friend's dog.

My dogs just chew it up and play on it, they haven't used it for the business yet.

I have a large dog who loves this toy but believe it would be good for a small dog. The openings for the treats are adjustable. I have used dry dog food as well as small training treats in the toy.

It just barks like a dog "arf-arf". Our favorite one is the Koala which sounds like a child giggling, it is too funny. Also there is the "tweedle-dee" stuffed animals-my dog has the mouse, now this is hilarious. But I don't recommend these to dogs that destroy toys. My dog has at least 20 stuffed toys that I rotate every few months so he thinks he gets new ones....haha.

Thank you. My dog is large too, and she likes playing with toys and explore things. For some reason the Kong doesn't impress her.
