It makes it easy to keep them busy. I have 3 dogs, so I bout 3 of these but not at the same time. I wanted to see if they would actually use it before buying all 3. So I bought the large size, then I bought another large size, then for the 3rd I cheated out and bought the smaller one. It lasted almost a year, but eventually the bottom peice you use to open/close broke. I just ordered a large one to replace it.As long as you buy the right size they hold up, and will keep your pup busy for a little while at least!

There are some serious design flaws and laughing this stupid thing. My dog hates it. I hate it. It’s going to the FREE pile next to the recycle bin.

Como varios ya dijeron, la cuerda esta muy gruesa y el hoyo muy pequeño por lo que está imposible sacar los premios incluso para mí. Tomé premios pequeños y además los partí en pedazos más pequeños y ni así logré que salieran.

My dog found it very difficult to get the food out and has given up so we have given up

I bought this for my working GSD, who is food motivated and very easily bored, as a way to feed her meals. I have several other feeder toys (wobblers, ufo “flippers”, puzzle boards, snuffle mats, rolling balls, weighted/balanced rollers - you name it) that I switch up every few days, as she enjoys the variety and becomes bored if the same one is constantly given. She loves all of them and has never had trouble getting kibble out of even the most challenging toys.However, she played with this one for about 10 minutes before giving up and becoming completely disinterested. It was too difficult for her. The only way to get kibble out of this (particularly if your kibble is large) is to push the rope into the bottle and flip it upside down or sideways without letting the knot inside the bottle block the food from dispensing. Pulling on the rope at all will cause the knot in the bottle to block the opening. I’m sure you can imagine that this is a bit of a hassle, especially if you’re a dog with no hands. It seems impossible to me for a dog to pick this up in their mouth upside down and somehow prevent gravity from pulling the rope down and blocking the opening. I’ve included images of the opening when the knot is blocking it and when it’s pushed inside the bottle - there is barely space for kibble to come out. The third picture is after I took the rope out.It’s been about a year since that purchase, and I found this sitting abandoned in the closet last night. After another attempt at using this in the intended way (and failing), I was able to cut the rope off of it; and while this makes it by far her easiest toy feeder, that’s better than it being a piece of junk in the closet. She’s now able to nose it around on the floor and dispense the food like a rolling feeder.That said, it does have its merits. It’s incredibly durable, and held up to being slung into the wall, tile floor, and down the stairs (and STILL didn’t dispense food) with very little signs of wear. The bottom bit that screws off so you can insert the food is great, not too loose but very sturdy. It also holds a large amount of kibble and is great for dogs who eat a couple cups of food per meal. But I honestly don’t believe that any dog, unless extremely food motivated, could reliably get food out of this. I would also be careful purchasing this if your dog likes to “kill” their toys by vigorously shaking and thrashing them around. My dog loves doing this with plush toys... and apparently this bottle. In a last ditch effort for food, she enjoyed grabbing the rope and swinging it against the wall and furniture as hard as she could in the same manner. Honestly? I’m surprised that it didn’t leave a dent in the wall.All in all, I would only recommend this to the absolute extreme end of intelligent or food motivated dogs. Most average dogs will have trouble with it or lose motivation, in my opinion. And definitely skip this toy if you think your dog would use it as a tool of destruction.

Compre el tamaño grande ya que tengo una pastor belga que me hace un verdadero desastre por la energía que tienen, y este artículo la mantiene ocupada.

My mom purchased a tug-a-jug for her lab mix in early 2011. I bought one as a gift for a friend in 2013 when she adopted a new dog. So when our 10 week old puppy was inhaling his food and moving on to eat out of the bowl of our other dog, my first thought was to get him a tug-a-jug.We purchased the extra-small size for a baby corgi (7 or 8 pounds at the time), and even as he grew, this is the right size for us. We used it religiously for awhile, and then backed off. Over the course of four or five months, he ate the trim of our back door, the paint off the wall, and destroyed about 15 stuffed toys.So we went back to the tug-a-jug. He gets all of his meals out of it, and it has saved our sanity. He no longer eats his dinner in 45 seconds, and no longer eats our home. If he starts to destroy a toy, I take it out of his possession and give him this toy. He will take it by the rope and drag it across the living room and spend the next hour trying to get every last bit of food.I recently bought a new one, as the rope had come untangled or frayed and the toy was less effective. I realized he couldn't get much food out, and he stopped eating for a few days. While this is the reason I deducted a star, it is MUCH improved over the first version my mom had, where the "rope" was made of the same material as the ball and was easily destroyed.But for $7, I will gladly buy two of these a year. It challenges our corgi and he is much less destructive than he had been when we weren't using it.

Ich bin davon begeistert. Mein Hund spielt sehr gern damit und er ist richtig gut gefordert. Sobald ich die "Flasche" fertig mache, ist er ganz aufgeregt. Er hat sehr schnell verstanden, was es mit dem Seil auf sich hat. Noch arbeiten wir daran, dass er es auch eigenständig zurückschiebt :)
