Jolly Pets 14" Push-n-Play Dog Toy

I have a 7 month old non-neutered male Dutch Shepherd. He is a cutie, but he is a toy hog. Her loves to chase the ball, but never wants to give it back - until he sees another ball and his greedy mouth falls open. With this ball, he cannot pick it up at all, but is not willing to stop trying. This causes him to push it along and he has to chase it - it wears him out very quickly and all I have to do is go over sometimes to give it another roll. Considerations: The manufacturer really should clarify that this is not a normal ball. It is a rigid plastic sphere with no give whatsoever. This is not a bad thing, because it's what you have to do when you don't want the ball to pop - but a lot I have a 7 month old non-neutered male Dutch Shepherd. He is a cutie, but he is a toy hog.

When you order this keep in mind you won't be kicking it or bouncing it, it's a roller. You want to have a lot of room for this ball so make sure there's a fenced-in outdoor area or at least a large indoor room with nothing fragile for your pup to crash it into. It works okay in my oddly-shaped living room, but much better at the dog park. … more

Although she has a wide selection of big and small balls in her yard for outdoor playtime, our 1.5 year old cattle dog rescue LOVES this one best of all the big ones. The key seems to be the size which is big enough she can't chew, but not so big as to be hard for her to get it going rolling by itself. Another key is that there is a different color spot on it (at least on mine; it was blue with a red spot) that has something to do with how it's made. She will roll this like crazy to try and get to that "annoying" spot that seems to really catch her eye - but it is too tough for her to chew or damage (of course this depends on your dog's size). Keeps her very happy when we play with her but Although she has a wide selection of big and small balls in her yard for outdoor playtime, our 1.5 year old cattle dog rescue LOVES this one best of all the big ones.

Given the size this is probably a strictly out-door toy - she knows the rule "No balls in the house!" : ) Very happy and would buy again. … more

I’ve tried just about every toy on todays market for my dog Dixie. It is an understatement to say that she is a heavy chewer I always said I should have named her Demo. Because she demolished every toy she’s ever gotten. Until I ordered this one. She absolutely loves it. If I could send you a picture of her playing with it you’d understand. It has withstood her chewing and she plays with it daily. Thank you so much

Our dog, a 2-year old GSD, has destroyed all of the toys he's ever had so we tried the Jolly ball. He loves it! He's actually sort of obsessed with it. He spends hours herding it around the yard like a soccer player. It's hard plastic, and though he's made a mess of the surface, I don't think he'll be able to destroy it. There's a screw plug you can open to add water or sand for additional weight.

I bought this ball because my lab loves to play soccer, it started with a basketball but once she learned she could pop them and carry them it was no fun it is a very big ball so she's having to hop a little when she tries to shoot it under her back at you

It is definitely a tough ball. I bought this for my Great Dane shar-pie mix, she loves to use her front paws to roll balls. Sadly this leads to popping she definitely has not nor can she pip this ball. Unfortunately she doesn't like it so I have an expensive ball just sitting in my yard. I think it's just too big for her liking.

My shepherd chases this all over the yard. My two little Mals love it too. Gonna order two more so they don’t have to share. Not a toy for inside the house though. It’s really hard plastic and will damage your interior.

It's really hard and I think it will last for my guys who like to chew. I like that it's big, so it makes it hard for them to bite it. My guys prefer to lick it instead of chase it but it keeps them entertained

We bought this for our Heeler's 1st birthday. Sounds silly I know, lol. But she absolutely LOVED it from the moment she saw it! The ball is harder than what I anticipated it would be, but Storm doesn't seem to mind one bit. It keeps her busy.

Our dog keeps popping balls but loves to play with them in the yard. We did not know this ball was rather heavy and therefore harder for him to push around. It is however pop-proof.
