In a Nutshell

  • Durability major issue, as expected some users reported falling apart on first use.
  • Design flags, odd design eg legs location and squeaker inside for a quiet toy.
  • Big plus worth it for teaching and shaking both ends for puppy engagement

Quick Verdict

A decent toy for puppy training, but durability is questionable. Great for teaching and entertainment, but watch out for squeakers and design issues.

"Great introduction toy for game. We got this for our 2 month old bird dog and it’s the perfect size as well as being a good way to teach them what a bird (remotely) looks like!"

β€” Sharon

"Ordered this chew toy for my 2 year old Goldendoodle as a birthday treat. First surprise-quite small and puny looking. Then, she had pierced the canvas covering within 5 minutes and out came the cotton stuffing. We are not talking about an overly aggressive dog either. Toy pretty well destroyed with..."

Bottom Line

If your main concern is durability, consider other options. However if you are ok with that and looking for engagement like shaking it with the rope, it does work well.
