Hyper Pet Doggie Tail Interactive Dog Toy

Be warned, this thing is strange. It shakes, it makes sad puppy whimpering noises, and it looks odd. My dog did not know what to do with it at first, but has since decided she wants to play fetch with it, but also carry it around like it's her baby. Stormy tends to be one to want to destroy and gut toys, and she's been sufficiently wary of it to avoid destroying it. I think I broke the movement/vibrate mechanism by tossing it around the house, but it still makes noise. I think I might try and fit a big tennis ball inside when the sound finally dies. Would I get this again? Sure. It's very entertaining, even if short-lived. My husband and I laughed a lot and it's kept Stormy busy during Be warned, this thing is strange.

I bought this because I am trying to get my 8 year old rescue to learn how to play with toys. It sure did the trick, he loved it! It was the first time in the year I’ve had him that he interacted with a toy. The downside is the internal ball is very heavy and hard. He is a big dog so he would pick it up and fling it across the room and I was afraid he was going to break something. The sound it makes also sounded like a hurt puppy, so that was a little distressing to him. I wish there was just a vibration setting with no sound. But once the batteries died I took the internal ball out and put a tennis ball inside and now he really likes it because he can chew on it too.

our westie boy loves this toy. We love the shaking and sound and bouncing around of the toy. Easy to clean and keep active. The only downfall is the ball is hard and when the dog shakes it, bang bang goes his head. being a hard-headed westie, it doesn't phase him, but I wish it was softer. The toy is a great size too~ TWO THUMBS UP

I am upset As I loved the toy at first and so did my dog.... but the toy stopped whining and shaking after 5 min. He did not chew it much or throw it around too hard, so the toy itself is just poor quality. I wish I could return it as I would try to find something similar that is better quality.

For one night it was great. After that, it stopped shaking/bouncing unless it really had an impact. I changed the batteries, now it only sometimes works. As a birthday gift for my dog, I’m highly disappointed in the quality. He’s a golden retriever (90 lbs) and is super gentle with his toys. I wish this one would have actually lasted.

Extremely annoying toy (to me), but my dog loves it. My 7month old aussie is obsessed with attention so I wanted something to occupy him when I cannot. This toy is very affordable compared with other robotic dog toys and successfully entertains my puppy. It basically just vibrates and makes this sound like a barking + sniffing + whining puppy whenever it’s picked up. Even though it makes the same annoying sound/vibration each time, it moves on the floor or bounces differently when it’s dropped and my puppy so far is not bored. At first he barked at it non-stop, but after a day he stopped barking back at it thankfully.

While our 50 lbs lab mix was interested at first, but the sounds the toy makes started to scare or upset her. The toy sounds like a dog whimpering rather than happy sounds and she would whimper in sympathy. Also the toy arrived with dead batteries.

I just had a baby and my poor pup who loves to play fetch is getting a bit neglected. I got this hoping it would inspire her to play on her own a bit more. Success!! She loves it and is entertained more often through the day. Highly recommend.

We had a similar toy for a long time from a different website, but it sadly broke. I logged on to Chewy and saw they had it. My dog absolutely loves this toy. It keeps her occupied and it's adorable to watch her play with it! It came with batteries, which I loved! Be prepared the noise can get annoying sometimes...but so worth it to see your dog happy :) I highly recommend!

My Shih-tzu absolutely loves it! The only change I would recommend is to make it, not so easy, for your dog to power it off while playing. I have to keep turning back on because he hits the power button while playing. But awesome product, and I will buy it again.
