Premier Busy Buddy Linkables Orb Dog Toy, Original Size

I realize that you should always watch and pay close attention to how your dog interacts with a new toy; but I usually have more than 2 minutes before a toy is destroyed. I gave my dog this hard rubber toy with a treat pushed into the middle. The toy seemed to be very well made, but you will want to use their treats because getting anything else inside there was a... can I say "b*tch" when reviewing a dog product without getting heckled?...so anyways.. I walked into the other room to grab my drink and came back in to find that my chocolate lab had managed to get the treat out of the center -- by ripping the neck off of the toy. No lie, it was just that quick. I bought the three toys together, thinking that my three labs would have hours of fun trying to figure out how to get the snack. The second Linkable I tried lasted about 5 minutes before my female chocolate chewed big chunks off of it. My male chocolate will easily destroy toys usually... my female chocolate never does; so that says a lot to me about the quality of the item.I think it is a great concept for a dog toy, and I would guess that small dogs would be OK with these, but not medium to larger sized dogs. Especially if your dog likes to chomp and chew! While these look "Kong"-ish, they are not built to be chomped on. This is one toy I would never suggest anyone ever allow their dogs to play with unsupervised for fear of choking. One last note: THESE THINGS SMELLED! The smell of the rubber was super strong when I opened the box, and they were still stinking up the room after sitting in the trash can for two days.Bottom line: I think toys that make dogs use their heads to solve a problem are great. However, while my dogs didn't learn anything from these toys, their owner sure did!

My dog loves it. The only problem is that the end holes are a little too large to keep the kibble in. When my dog lifts up the toy and then drops it on the ground, much of the kibble spills out, unlike with other similar toys. The trick is to put another Linkable toy on each end so that it is harder for the kibble to come out.

Great toy when coupled with the other 2 linkables. Keeps our dogs quite entertained.

Love it! definitely the most challenging of all three "Linkables"! - probably because it rolls around. Tip: teach your dog to use it by using small treats (ones that fall out almost automatically). This will help them learn that it's a puzzle toy - not a chew toy. Enjoy!
