Hyper Pet Doggie Tail Interactive Dog Toy

The outer shell of this toy is great, and I love that there is both sturdy velcro and a loop for the tail to go through to secure it. Unfortunately that's where the pros of this toy end. My dogs like to shake their toys, and because the ball on the inside is hard plastic, both of them managed to hurt themselves (hitting themselves in the face with it) within 24 hours of having it (even under supervision). The on/off switch for the noise and vibration feels very cheap and is impossible to tell if you've properly turned it off. The vibration is great but the sounds the toy makes are not what I was expecting. It sounds like an injured, panting puppy, which is unsettling to hear from another room The outer shell of this toy is great, and I love that there is both sturdy velcro and a loop for the tail to go through to secure it.

It sounds like an injured, panting puppy, which is unsettling to hear from another room (the whimpers make me mildly panic and think one of my dogs is hurt). I ended up taking the hard plastic ball out and putting one of my dogs' soft rubber fetch balls in, and that works well, but overall I do not recommend this toy. Great concept, not so great execution. … more

But in the wrong way... Barking like crazy, being afraid, maybe.. but this is not really the issue. It's a poor design. Do I really need to go on youtube to see how to turn on/off this thing? You need to remove partially the cover and find the area that looks like a small crevasse. The button will be hidden inside. And that's when you will notice that the button IS NOT on the top, as stated, since the ball can move inside the faux-fur. And yes, after a few hours, it will break. Maybe it can't stand a lot of bouncing on hard floors.

My dog loved this toy but she dropped it in her water pan pretty quickly. I removed the pelt and hung it up to dry for a day before giving it back. She played with it about an hour before she had chewed through the strap that holds the ball inside. She has now been playing with the pelt or the ball so I guess it's 2 toys in one. I did think it was hard to find the switch to turn it on under the pelt. It would be great for a less destructive dog.

My dog loves this toy! The first one we received did not work at all so I contacted customer service and had a great experience working with them. They immediately sent another to me and that one worked great. I have a big puppy so he tends to gnaw on these after awhile so we are on our 3rd one at this point and all have them have worked with no problems. The cover is very well made and designed so even though he “breaks” the inside, nothing can get swallowed. Only negative I can say is that the on/off button is kinda hard to find without taking the cover off which isn’t the most convenient when the pup is anxious to play with it

I just got this and already it's a game-changer! What's perfect about it is that it stops wiggling when Snickers gets tired. When she's rested (after about 1 min), she starts in again. She's a mini Australian Shepherd/Border Collie/other rescue at 30 pounds and loves to chase and herd.

Only thing good I can say about this toy is my dog loved it for all of five minutes. It was too easily destroyed. Hard plastic with screws and batteries is just a bad idea for dog toy even while supervising. You want a fun interactive dog toy try the wiggle waggle ball.

This is a winner! Favorite toy of the house. I bought 2. My 3 months old, active Goldendoodle loves this toy and it gives me some time between plays. The toy, play with your dog by barking and kind of rolling . It is battery operated has a turn on/off. Sven sometimes turns it off , but no problem to turn back on.

Dog loved approved and busy daily with this interactive toy. One of the favorite activities of the day is playing with this toy. Great toy, now to figure out how to replace the batteries when needed. Should invest in a back up for future fun.

At first, my dog was afraid of this toy, vibrating and "barking" at her. But I just let the toy be and after a while she came around and just goes crazy with it now! Barks at it, tosses it around, carries it in her mouth to take it outside. Thanks for an entertaining toy.

I was happy with the product at first. It came with batteries but they didn't last long. Maybe a week or so, which I expected and it is okay. I replaced the batteries and now the toy does not do anything. I have checked the way the batteries are in the toy, etc. I did not find a switch. If there is one I should be looking for, please advise. Thank you.
