Outward Hound Tail Teaser with Refill Dog & Cat Teaser Toy

Bought for my 1 yr old, highly energetic cat. I thought it was pricey, but it had great reviews. And I was tired of the wimpy teasers that broke so easily. Well, this is absolutely worth every bit of the price. Here's how it's different from other teasers: It's VERY well made; the pole is strong and flexible (hey, it's also for dogs!) The strong material that covers the pole extends all the way to the toy. That material is tough - some heavy, manmade fiber - cat can't chew through it. The handle is comfortable and has molded-in grippers (my cat has tried to pull it out of my hand!) The flexible line is much longer than the average teaser. I can even sit and use it, saving a bit of my energy Bought for my 1 yr old, highly energetic cat. I thought it was pricey, but it had great reviews.

The toy on the end securely attaches to a loop. The toy itself is MUCH larger than toys on other teasers, it's fluffy and has a squeaker inside, along with a rattle-like sound. When my cat catches the toy he falls down, rabbit kicks and licks the toy. There is also a loose, second toy which can be used as back-up OR could be provided as a separate toy. He sometimes picks up the toy and walks to another room with the pole dragging behind. Yes, he owns this toy. My cat jumps higher than with any other toy while trying to catch the critter on the end. The sturdy line is long enough and the toy has enough heft so that I can use this on the staircase. He loves the running up and down and stalking on the staircase. And that uses up a lot of his energy. All in all, it's by far the best teaser I've ever had and is well worth the price. OH, an added plus: The box it came in was so long that the box itself has become a keeper. My cat and I are VERY happy! … more

My 2 year old pembroke welsh corgi is a huge fan of this toy! When I put it away in my closet he was barking because he wanted to keep playing! It’s long enough that I can keep him from crashing into me, and it has held up so far! I try to keep my dog from doing too sharp turns/jumps due to his short legs and it’s easy to keep things safe with this toy while getting his energy and herding instincts out. He used to play with a cat toy similar to this as a puppy and when it broke I never replaced it, I can’t tell you how happy he is to have a flirt pole to play with again!

Our 3 month old pug absolutely loves this toy and it’s a great way to get her to use up some of that extra puppy energy! When we finish a play session with this toy and go inside, she will often go back to the sliding glass door and look longingly outside waiting for her next chance to play with it.here’s a photo of her sleeping on top of it after a long play session.

My <4 month GSD puppy absolutely loves the teaser toy. She especially loved how squeaky the toys are. Unfortunately she managed to squeak every last bit out within 2 hours, and ended up destroying the first toy when she ripped it open. I'm willing to deal with the destruction, but what disappoints me is that if I want to order more refill toys, I have to buy an entirely new pole set, which is silly. Wish the refills were sold separately! If they were, I'd give this 5 stars and use it daily.

We just celebrated our vizslas first birthday and while reminiscing through photos realized that we have had this teaser toy (flirt pole) since March (9 months)! We use it daily and he absolutely loves it. The craziest thing to me is that both toys that hang off the end of the string haven't disintegrated yet. How is this possible!? It has survived the teething/shark-teeth phase and he still chews on it every night. It is extremely well made. We couldn't be happier with the quality of this toy and that our dog absolutely loves it!

Our dog was very shut down after being rescued from a hoarder house at 3 years old. A year after we adopted him, he’d come out of his shell but is still very fearful and learning to be a dog. He’s only ever been interested in treat toys until now. He goes crazy for this toy, swiping at it mid-air and pouncing from several feet away, and we can see that it’s making him much more confident and teaching him to trust his own body. It’s also fun for us to get to play with him since he startles too easily for most other games. For recent adopters of fearful dogs, he probably would have been too scared of this toy if we tried it in the first few months. Also, he’s a terrier mix, so that might be Our dog was very shut down after being rescued from a hoarder house at 3 years old.

My dog is absolutely obsessed with this toy. Great opportunity to practice on “leave it” and “drop it” for something he’s excited with. Only thing I don’t like is the handle broke off. This is the second one I purchased and immediately the handle detached.

My puppy loves this toy. I’m glad it came with an extra fur toy because she chewed the squeaker out of the first one. The stick is very durable also. She/we play with this more than any other toy.

I saw these flirt poles on instagram and wanted to get it for my Australian Cattle Dog. It took her all of 2 seconds to figure out how to chase the toy and she absolutely LOVES is! It gets some steam out when the weather is too hot or cold for a long walk! I'm so excited to add this to our enrichment toy box!

What happened? We had a set of these a few years ago, which lasted, and they were destroyed by the dogs actually playing with them and chewing through the rope. Now - we ordered 3 - the handles have pulled off *ON ALL THREE.* Cheap glue, I guess...but seriously, the dogs played with them for about a week...the one for the cat pulled off immediately. The cat.
