The negative reviews here are mainly not the fault of the product, and just the fault of people buying the wrong thing! I wanted something that my cockapoo could play with by himself, especially when we are out. He loves playing with his ball, but can be reluctant to drop it without an incentive! This very simple product dispenses treats when the ball is dropped into the top. The ball then simply rolls out and can be put back in again. It does not shoot out, it is not a tennis ball launcher and is significantly cheaper than a tennis ball launcher! It took a few days of me working with my dog to get him to do it, and to be honest, at first I thought he would never get it! However,he has finally got the hang of it!The instructions are fairly vague, so here's how I trained him to use it (I am no expert!) First, I just put the ball in it myself a few times to show him, and the treats got him interested in it and made him less wary of this new thing in the room. Then I kept a few treats in my hand to reward him for bringing his ball to it, even if he didn't place the ball on it. This took a lot of patience and encouragement and went on for a couple of days (We only played for about 15mins at a time to avoid him getting bored or frustrated). Then I started holding the ball in my hand loosely, just in front of the hole and I used to a treat to encourage him to use his nose to nudge the ball off my hand and into the hole. This was a real breakthrough and after a couple of days doing that he started to work it out and began picking the ball up and dropping it himself, although he still needed my encouragement and my sitting with him to drop the ball into it. We gave it to him on Christmas day and he took until new year to be able to do it himself. He now happily drops the ball into it without me needing to be there tapping the top like a lunatic.I have knocked off one star because sometimes no treats come out and other times lots come out! This isn't a big problem, but it was a little irritating when I was trying to train him to use it! It needs quite small treats, like small kibble or something similar. It comes with a tennis ball, but you can use any similar sized ball.

To teach your dog to use this toy:1. Clicker train your dog (it's easy, buy a clicker and follow the instructions)2. Put some kibble in the dispenser3. Roll the ball. The second your dog touches the ball with his nose, click and reward. Repeat several times until dog reliably touches ball with nose and looks to you for a reward.4. Roll the ball. The second your dog touches the ball with his teeth, click and reward. Repeat repeat repeat.5. As soon as dog picks up the ball, stop rewarding for teeth and only click and reward for picking ball up.6. Once dog is reliably picking the ball up, only click and reward if he brings it in the direction of the dispenser. You can sit by the dispenser if this is hard for your dog.7.Next, only click and reward if the ball is dropped near the dispenser.8. Next, only click and reward if the ball is dropped and it touches the dispenser.9. Click and reward if the ball lands on top of the dispenser. Sometimes it'll go in, in which case dog gets the jackpot, and sometimes it won't - if it lands on top and bounces off, click and reward.10. Stop clicking and rewarding. Dog now knows how to play.Only train for 10 minutes at a time.If at any point it becomes frustrating for your dog, go back a step.If your dog paws or mouths the dispenser, lift it up and get the attention back on the ball, before putting it down again.It took my labrador 33 days to get it, so be patient!! It's worth the time and learning is good for all of us.

I bought this for my soon to turn 5 year old Cocker Spaniel for a birthday present & ended up giving it to him early! First of all don't be dissuaded by the negative comments on here regarding the ball not "launching" far enough - that's not the purpose of the game & the advert for this clearly states this is not the purpose. So if you're buying it in the hope your dog can play fetch by themsleves you will be disappointed! The idea is the dog has to learn to pick the ball up & place it in the hole in order to release the treat(s). I have a very energetic dog who loves treat puzzles & this one is no exception.Watching him use his little brain to figure out what he has to do to get the treats is great & the mental stimulation it provides is another tool in my box of tricks to help wear him out! To be fair I had to use my brain too to figure out how best to teach him what he has to do! The fact it doesn't need any batteries either is fantastic. The slot the treats are released from is big enough to accommodate his kibble so I can even feed him his meals from it when he gets a bit more proficient at it. We love it & definitely recommend it to anyone who likes to mentally stimulate their dog & would like another game to add to your arsenal!

I think the bad reviews are unfair. They’re mostly people saying the Ball doesn’t go far. Erm, read the product description before buying. It’s not a ball launcher! We read it before buying. It’s a brain game sort of thing, and it combines the fun of a ball with the reward of a treat. I have a very smart border collie and he enjoys this, and he gets bored of brain toys easily as he works them out so quickly. He also knows he can just put his paw or his snout in and push and a treat comes out - but he still thinks it’s great and keeps him entertained. If you want a ball launcher this *isn’t* one and if you don’t read the description that’s kind of your fault really. A ball launcher will cost you a LOT of money.This is under £30 and is good fun for a dog. My partner is building a platform with a ramp to put it on out of scrap wood so the ball will roll and provide a chase too. So stop complaining that it’s not a launcher - either accept it for what it is or use your imagination!

I love this interactive dog toy. The reviews are slightly unfair. It is used to simulate your dogs mind. It is not a ball thrower in shape or form. Yes my 8 month old dally puppy tried to trash it, yes it still is working. But at first you use it to bond with your dog on,y a couple of times a day. You will need to sit on the floor and help your furry friend understand what to do. But it works no question about it.Don't over fill it as some may stop it working, a gena, nudge will realise the blockage.It will take time depending on how long you spend with your dog and how mentally alert they are but I guess they will all get it eventually like humans they take different time scales to learn the same thing.Rome wasn't built in a day.My tip use small biscuits in the toy, ones only that you keep for this. Use the lid on the top of the toy at first open it and place the ball on it encourage your dog to knock it down the shoot. See picture as a guide.

My dog is really clever and loves to make up games with her ball and I buy her loads of enrichment toys which generally involve pawing at things to get treats. This was such a challenge for her because it adds a completely new element to the game - which is using a tool. To begin with she was really distracted by the smell of the treats and I wish I had introduced it without treats in first as I think it would have made it easier. To begin with I thought she would never get it, but someone told me to get her to give me the ball into my hand first so we started with that. She’s 3 so it was nice to train her to do something new - we haven’t done that in a while, and I was so proud of her when she learned how to do it!!!Took us lots of practice though. I would say though that if I’m not with her to encourage her to use the ball, she will just use her paw to press the leaver down haha

I have a very smart and active Labradoodle who is obsessed with food and tennis balls. We have been doing 15-minute stints each day and I can see how hard his mind is working in trying to figure out the ball to biscuit equation. His average is about 60%.The one drawback to this game is that the biscuit dispenser does not always dispense. I think you just need a small round piece, like dog food, in order for it to roll out effectively. I have been tossing the treats to him on the sly (not that he notices) so I can continue to reward him for his hard work.It's a great indoor game for this wet and mucky UK winter weather, just wish the dispenser worked properly.

I have to say I had more or less given up on this product bought a while ago!! My Sprocker spaniel showed no interest in it whatsoever.... we had tried and tried to get her to drop her ball in the hole but she just wasn’t having it. What a waste of money I thought UNTIL.... only very recently I sat with her for about half an hour continuously giving her the ball and tapping the top and she finally put the ball in herself. She now follows a command to do it and I have to say she really loves this toy and the amount of attention she gets for doing it.... plus the treats!! So the bottom line is perseverance and patience is the key to this toy, but it is worth it!!

Both my Border Collie and Cavapoo love this. Its nice, easy repetitive task is great for helping my Collie to focus in a calm way, then she'll settle more easily afterwards. She's not really a massive foodie but she still likes this anyway. I found that if I smashed her kibble up in a sandwich bag first, it sticks less, but I still have to sit next to the toy whilst she's playing with it, to give it the odd jiggle to help the kibble come out. If it had a slight modification inside that meant kibble definitely came out each time, then I'd give it a 5.

Love this dog toy. I have a very clever dog that needs something to keep him occupied. First 15 minutes I was regretting buying it and fed up telling him to “put it in”. But once he got it he kept doing it (lots of proud Facebook videos followed). Only problem I have is finding the right treats to put in it as always seems to work for a while then jams and needs a shake. If anyone knows of a dry perfectly round dog treat then let me know. Good item and a good training toy but you need to be there to keep it working or no treat for your best mate.

Dog loves this putting his ball in top to get a treat the product could of been made better after about 6 times have to shake it to make treats to come outFor those people who think that this is a ball launcher there is no mechanism for it to throw ball a distance the mechanism is like a lever the ball press down to open a small pocket thatdrop a few treats and have to get right treat size for them to work properly too big of treat get stuck more

Bertie LOVES this, we no longer put biscuits in his bowl, he has to work for them. I like the fact it will take his normal small kibble, so we don't have to buy some expensive proprietary stuff, it is not too noisy unlike other toys we've had where the ball pops out and frightens them. The game is about learning to put the ball in for a reward rather than chasing the ball afterwards. from this you can teach them to put their toys away :).

Lots of people have purchased this thinking it’s a ball launcher so are disappointed when they receive it, because that’s not what this it! THIS IS A TREAT DISPENSER. It’s an enrichment activity for mental stimulation. The dog has to think about using the ball to receive the treats.I think it’s absolutely great and my dog loves it, she picked it up really quickly (but she’s very food focused)! I definitely recommend this!

This is an excellent toy. It's not a ball launcher but a great interactive toy requiring the dog to learn to put the ball in the top to get a treat dispensed. Mine has been used so regularly and has been so useful when our dog needs occupying. It took a few short sessions to teach her how to play it. It's lasted about 3 years and I am now replacing it immediately. Great value for money. Love it.

I got this for my dog, hoping it would be good for his impulse control with balls, but no luck it is however, Fantastic fun for my rats as a puzzle feeder, only one has figured out how to get the jackpot, the others steal it while she's turning around! And another has learnt to open the lid at the top and fish her food out. Brilliant for them, and a built in hidey to eat the spoils
