Our 4 month old 'rescue', Doxie/Cocker, is a chewer. Is the strap sturdy? Training is slow, but he is smart & willing.

It is ribbon but he is more likely to play with the bells than chew the ribbon.

Not particularly stout. More like a heavy ribbon, but since it is covered in bells, little chance he will chew it.

My 3 mo old pup was and is still a chewer...has not chewed the poochie bells on the back door or the ones inside the bedroom door. Has plenty of chew toys and bones available. Things are kept off the floor and unavailable so can't chew. Pleease, Do not punish if chews if inappropriate..correct...and give THEIR chewies.

Doug, our 8-month old great dane, hasn't chewed on it either. He does give a good yank on it when he wants to go outside and it is holding up pretty well. He hasn't ripped it nor torn off any of the bells. I think it's pretty sturdy.

Absolutely! We took this on a 20hr (each way) trip, with a crazy 8 month old puppy and it held up unbelievably well. It's very durable!

this wobbler is fairly heavy. it's bottom weighted- my 40 lb puppy eats breakfast from it & he can't pick it up- just rolls it to get the kibble out. the hole is pretty small, so can't grab it & carry & since it's rolls also hard to find somewhere to grab. he loves this- even knows when to stop rolling because it's empty..i'm very glad i purchased this kong- he's a pretty strong chewer & hasn't been able to destroy this toy- i do pick it up when he's done though..hope this helps

It sounds like a small puppy. If there really isn't any chewing, I think it would work well, unless the puppy can climb. (One of my dogs used to scramble over baby gates when she was a puppy.)

We haven't had any problems with the strap. It is pretty durable, I am not sure it could be changed without taking it apart and then it probably would not last long. It is a great tool to help with strength and arm training.

Well, our Aussie mix loves playing with this ball. It is hard in the first few weeks, but as the dog keeps playing - with big fangs piercing through it :-) - the ball softens a lot and it is much easier to grab. It lasts about 4 months with our dog, but we do not leave the ball available to her at all times - it wouldn't last a week if we did -, she loves to bite and would destroy it pretty fast. This is a video of her playing goalkeeper with this ball (buying another one to replace it): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GF7P5pfgL4

Probably in the long run not well. Use anti-chew spray on the rope and it should be prevented. I let the lead drag on the ground and you can tell there is abrasion so I would assume the same would occur with a puppy.

I was it weekly and have had it for six months (for my dog) It is holding up very well. As long as the puppy doesn't chew it up it should be fine.

It's not a shape that would encourage chewing, Our dog is a chewer but has never attempted to chew the bob-a-lot. She doesn't play with it as often now as she did at the start, but it always has treats in it and she often gives it a nudge as she passes by and grabs a treat or two

Yes it is pretty durable, walking on it is just fine. They can chew it or claw at it... our dog tried digging it and ended up making chunks come off but if he didn't do that it would be fine.

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!

My lab is the same way. This kong holds food treats and makes a squeak when Dudley tosses it. It is very sturdy and it takes about 8 months for Duds to split the rubber. Duds is 6 and I think this one may be his 4th. It is a bargain and it is my dog's favorite toy/food dispenser. Very few toys hold up this well!

My dog loves to play rough and is a lab mix. He chews everything to bits. I have to say this is very durable to an extent. My dog chewed the tail to bits and the ears are mangled. But everything else has held up. The ears and tail is just the material itself no stuffing so that was the good. I didn't care if the ears were torn or the tail. No stuffing to pick up, the body itself held up and is still holding up. And it will be a year this toy has lasted. He loves the color, something about it draws him to it. So, if you do get it just know they seem to love bright colors.

Let me revise my previous answer. If you leave the puppy alone and it likes to chew leashes I would not suggest it. It is well made but can be chewed through.

Well, most people would consider our dog small - not tiny, but small. We found the strap to be very strong and ideally thick. The strap is long - to fit most dogs - so you cut it to size. The strap has plastic properties to it, which will definately slip and get loose. Our fix was cut the strap to the proper size, cut the proper length and carefully burned the end (the plastic bubbles a bit which helps it keep the ideal length) - we obviously let it cool completely and it never slips. Those smaller ones have worn down on us - we went to the thick red on and have had no problems
