Hyper Pet Doggie Tail Interactive Dog Toy

My dog, Sadie, has a very high prey drive. When I saw a video on how this works, I knew immediately that she would be enamored with it. She loves this thing so much! I need to replace the batteries already and we just got it a month ago. I will warn you: if your pup is a toy shredder, you have to supervise them with this. The Velcro that holds the opening closed isn't the strongest and does not hold up when Sadie starts to shred. It's the perfect toy to just toss and let them go. Great for when you don't have time to play during the day or to distract them when you cook.

I bought this toy almost a year ago and my dog is obsessed with it. Then we thought she broke it as we didn’t see it for a few months. Went to do some yard work and apparently it had been hidden outside for months through multiple snow and ice storms and I picked it up worried it would be broken but it worked like a charm!!

For the first few days my Min Pin was afraid of it she just barked at it with her hair standing up on her back from her head to tail but I would only have it out for about 10 minutes at a time a couple times a day. After that she started biting at it and tackling it and having a GREAT TIME and now SHE JUMPS at the counter top where I keep it to tell me she wants to play with it. I am going to order another one because if it fails to work I think she would really be sad & depressed. Some people say it is not a good toy for small dogs but my Min Pin is only 10 1/2 pounds and stands about 12" at the shoulder so I would say it is not for very small toy dogs.

We have a two year old Cockapoo who is not terribly destructive, but nevertheless manages to chew through her most expensive toys with regularity. Not so with Doggie Tail. This toy is tough. And, our dog loves it. Whenever we get to that late afternoon moment when we still need to get some work done and our dog wants attention, we got out old Doggie Tail. Our dog is obsessed with it. It has lasted about a month now. Batteries are still working. She loves it. We love it. (We had bought the flapping fish for her, but she demolished it in a week). Doggie tail is a hit.

Bought this as an auto ship add-on and received it yesterday. The toy didn’t even last 24 hours with my supervised puppies. My pups aren’t even destructive, but they play rough with their toys. First, they were able to easily bite the button to turn it on/off themselves, leading to a massive annoyance when it was “quiet time”. Second, the velcro piece to keep it closed wasn’t properly sewn, so half of it was already ripped off which I didn’t notice because I didn’t open it up all the way just fought endlessly to line up the Velcro bands. The shotty Velcro led to third, the loose wrap around the tail is SO MUCH FUN to chew as they’re playing tug together.

My lab mix dog is about 5 or so and never seems too interested in playing. After being cautious and confused about this toy, she absolutely loves it now and will engage playtime by herself. It’s adorable. The motion sensor on it is nice, so I don’t have to keep switching it on and off. Occasionally it will sound like it’s dying and I thought I needed to replace the batteries it came with almost immediately but apparently that just happens sometimes? Unknown, subtracted a star for it. Overall would definitely recommend.

Our Bassett loves this toy. At first she was afraid of it, but she quickly got used to it. She chases it, catches it and carries it around. Batteries are well protected inside the plastic unit. The plastic unit is tightly covered and Velcro closed so that the dog cannot get it out of the outer cover. You can take off the outer cover and wash it if necessary. Only problem now is that she wants to chew on it’s furry covering. But definitely a cute toy!

This product is a great concept and in the first five minutes that it worked my dog loved it. That being said, after 5 minutes of shaking the toy, grabbing it and playing with it, the noises stopped working. Chewy was kind enough to replace it for me because I thought it was a malfunction of the toy. Once again, the second toy acted the same way. The toy is obviously not made to deal with the roughness that a dog needs when playing with their toys. Product may be fine for a gentle dog but not recommended for puppies or dogs that like to play.

I purchased this item with my last auto ship order and it seemed to entertain my pup..... But only for 15 minutes then it stopped working properly. The trigger mechanism was pressed so far in that I had to keep taking the ball out of the fabric casing to realign it. Even then, it worked for a minute. It no longer "wobbles" just seldom barks and cries when my pup drops it. I did like the way the fabric has a tail and can be looped to keep the mechanical parts in, but the Velcro is more enticing for my pup, so he chews and tears the Velcro. I gave this toy 1 star because it is not durable at all.

Dog loved this toy right out of the package. Dog mom? Not so much. It’s hard. When the dog throws it, it lands hard; if it lands on your feet or into your chin bone, ouch! Sadly, stopped working after only three days. Would be great if could find a way to make the insert softer and more durable.
