Is this toy loud when your dog pushes it around on wood floors? (we can't handle the super loud noise of the PetSafe Busy Buddy Kibble Egg shaped toy when our dog knocks it around, he loves it, but we would like a quieter alternative...)

Yeah it's pretty loud I have wood floors too. But my guy has now decided to unscrew it instead of rolling it so the problem is solved for me!!!

It is a loud sound that gets the dogs attention but not too loud. Amazing clicker I keep it in my pocket. I've had amazing results.

it doesn't "bang" shut but there is a noise. I suggest going to a pet store where they are on display and testing out

No it does not squeak. If your dog is a heavy duty chewer - and can destroy toys - they will be able to destroy this one.

This would be a good toy for your dog. The way it is designed all dog sizes can play with it using wither feet or snout. Some of her toys/puzzles are smaller. I think this is one of the larger ones. Enjoy! My dog goes crazy over it. My current dog is smaller but I know my 150lb Giant Schnauzer would have loved it and had no problem with size :-)

i found this is also pretty loud, but i solved the problem by covering it with an old knitted toy he had opened up. you could probably achieve the same solution with a large sock or heavy stocking and just cut the hole out for the food to escape. then all you can hear is the kibble shaking around, not bad at all. i found it also helps him to pick it up when it rolls under the bed or in a corner and carry it back to his preferred rolling spots.

This is totally subjective, obviously. :-) We don't mind it, but we live in a big house with no neighbors, so we're not that sensitive to noise. It is not really loud IMHO, and the noise isn't really obnoxious (like a fire engine, etc.). I would say if you live in a small space like an apartment with thin walls you might think twice, or if you are the type of family that asks your kids to use their "inside voices" a lot. I think the only time it would get annoying is in the very beginning if your child just won't put it down and plays with it constantly. But since that would likely be short lived anyway, meh. It's a toy that makes noise, but I've never been bugged by it and my son usually plays with it inside.

Hey Trish, my dog (a black lab) seems to respond more to the noise than the shock itself. If the noise does not work well for you dog try to put the shock to the highest to see if it works. Hopes this helps :D

These make sounds for a little bit,until the white tube inside it gets crushed. I hope this helps. Have you tried the big giggle ball for kids? My lab loves it, even when they crush it, it still makes sounds.

It does not sound like dogs barking. The sound is more like electronic robot trying to bark. My puppy really doesn't think he is a dog but little stuffed toy makes sound and she enjoys him enough. One good thing is that it has great battery life span. We have for a year but it still is kicking.

YES! Now keep in mid we used a cheap, loud one prior to this so its all relative, but our dog is terrified of noise and this doesn't bother her.

It's noisy but TOTALLY worth it. Just give it to the dog during the day (not early morning or at night). I've lived in apartments and noise from upstairs neighbors is part of the deal. I highly doubt you'll be refilling the toy throughout the day, so once or twice a day for 20 mins (it takes our dog ~15 mins to finish 1 cup kibble) is reasonable. Toy noise is better than barking in my opinion;)

Bell is loud enough if you can get your pooch to ring it. Ours will ring it but not very hard so it is hard to hear. The "CON" is the bells and strap can catch in the door when you close it, if you aren't watching. Hint, go to Hobby Lobby, or similar and buy some Christmas bells. tie to a string and see what happens.

I have wooden floor too and the sound so far has not been annoying. Its low when running and thomas talking is not bad. I was happier with this toy than the remote cars. My son loves it.

I have 4 min schnauzers - one is very sensitive to high pitched sounds. No one seemed bothered by it. But since we know only one out if four is bothered by those sonic pet trainers maybe your pup is super sensitive. It is a good elliptical. Just bad for my hips.

Totally agree. Now want to know- i have a small dog does not like loud noises. Anyone can give me advice on noise for small dogs with this dremel.

It's a high pitch sound like a smoke alarm. It only "goes off" when your pet steps and/or sits on it but doesn't stay on - the sound stops once your pet is off of it. We put one in front of a French door and the dog will sit behind it, but won't step on it as she knows what it does. It's wonderful!
