Pet Qwerks X-Tire Ball Dog Toys – Rope Interactive Chew Toy – Medium

HERE’S HOW TO CONTROL THE JUNGLE NOISE FROM IT…
This was the first toy my rescue puppy played with at her new home with us five years ago … it eventually stopped working and was cast aside. I always thought it was really clever and different, mostly because it isn’t just a repeat of a couple of noises like some (one especially that is awful, just repeating “hey big doggie, I GOT cha!!” eight million times a day, but has over 20 sounds, per its maker. The other day I looked at the old dead one and got the PetQwerks name off it, searched, and found it on good ol’ Amazon.As several reviewers note–and as its tag admits–“your dog will love it, but it will drive you crazy” — I didn’t think this would he the case for us, as we’d already had one and enjoyed it along with the pup.BUT I think it is both louder and easier to activate now — a new and improved version apparently. I think it even irritates the dog, who gives it a “look” when it starts roaring, barking, and screeching across the room, seemingly by itself.The “key” (pun intended) to this problem is to retain the little clear plastic piece that you pull out when you first get the toy working. This piece keeps the battery from making contact and the toy from giving postal workers heart attacks thinking they’re delivering a shipment of fighting weasels or illegal wildlife species.I had thrown it away. As soon as I realized my mistake, I tried to make a similar plastic piece, with no luck. Fortunately I found the original, and now keep it in a place where it will not get lost. It would be smarter, come to think of it, to put a colorful and visible tag on it so it won’t get lost. As it is, it’s as easy to overlook as a contact lens dropped on the floor.Another thing — I ordered a medium size and got a ball that is larger than I wanted even though my dog is over 90 pounds. It is larger than a tennis ball. Large must be reeally big. Should note also that is is durable and I believe safe.

Good jingle ball tire dog tou
It jingles, it’s a tire ball and the dog likes it! Solid dog toy it’s lasted but gets stuck under couches like every other dog toy. German shepherd likes it

Excellent product! I tweaked it to prevent chewing…
This tire thing is awesome. My dog is a rescue, a six month old, once-feral 50lb border collie lab mix who is way too intelligent for her own good. So this toy provides some much needed stimulation and gives me a rest break from chasing her around. ….It makes the following animal noises:MonkeyPig oinkWolf howlPigeon/chicken cooMeowCowTiger ROAWRBobcat snarlEagleAnd perhaps a few others.It has some obvious design flaws. The tire is not tough enough. If it was made out of a rubber kong-like material, it’d be FAR superior. Secondly, the plastic ball inside of it that holds the noise-maker is very hard to get to for battery changes, etc.If I were to re-design this toy I’d make the plastic ball inside a non-chewable metal, and the tires out of TOUGH extreme-kong style rubber. Sure, it’s for “ENTERTAINMENT” purposes, but that doesn’t stop my dog from having a very powerful jaw that tears apart these sorts of toys quickly.Barring the ability to take over this company and make executive design decisions for them, I have a solution.I get pairs of large old socks (I have lots of the “spa” plush microfiber slipper socks) that I don’t care about, and stretch two of them tightly over the ball. As they develop holes, etc, I remove those socks and replace them with a new pair.This has the VERY convenient side effect of muffling the animal noises a bit. That sucker is LOUD. (Although if you have a senior/deaf dog, this would not work well as the noise is probably the best part about it for them!)I still would never leave her alone with this or any other toy containing small parts.Must go now, dog is drinking out of the toilet again. =(

Al recibir el producto la verdad pensé que sería súper resistente pero si tus perros son destructores este no es el juguete, les duro 1 hora para destruirlo quedando la bola de en medio, creo que es más para un perro pequeño aunque es bastante pesado

I am a big fan of Pet Qwerks and keep buying their stuff very happily. Unfortunately this toy is not one of their good ones.It comes with a warning that “this is not a chewing toy” . It is very true , my 5 month puppy managed to bite off a mouthful of plastic within minutes after being introduced to the toy. So any toy that is designed for dogs should have some level of bite-ability , this toy doesnt have that. Its not only “not a chewing toy” also shouldnt be allowed anywhere near dogs because a larger dog will shred it to bits and eat plastic bits under 5 minutes.bottom line: done buy it.
