Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have a 10 week old Finnish Lapphund puppy. She's food driven, insanely smart, and incredibly energetic. I could take her on a 60-minute walk and she'd still be ready to go for another hour. She learns very quickly, has a stubborn streak, and can shred through a bowl of kibble in about 2 seconds flat. I tried everything to get her thinking, tire her out, and slow down her eating a bit. We practice sit-down-stay-spin-leave it with her entire bowl of kibble morning and night and she looks at me like "is this the hardest thing you have for me" as she breezes through the commands. AT 10 WEEKS OLD! A stuffed Kong is empty in 3 minutes. A Kong stuffed with anything frozen is just plain boring and forgotten in 5 minutes. A stuffed barnacle is fun until it's empty, which is about 10 minutes, and then she looks at me like "OK what's next." Then there's this treat ball. This thing actually interests her and keeps her busy. I wouldn't say it's an "IQ" toy. It's more like a spin-me-a-million-times-before-I-give-up-a-single-treat toy, which is so much better. My little thinker can't think her way through this one. She just frustratedly punts it around the house like David Beckham until it gives up a tasty treat, and then repeats until it's empty. The opening has a thickened edge that protrudes into the ball so it makes it more difficult for a treat to fall out. Then, you have the adjustable white plastic barrier that you can put inside it to make it various degrees of more difficult to get food out of it. Basically, it will work your dog to the very core in every good way you can possibly imagine. My little nightmare spends a good 30 with this ball and, like the angel I know she isn't, she's off to her crate for some chew toy action and a solid all-day nap. I want to meet the person who created this toy so I can glee-cry into their shoulder in a loving embrace for giving me even 5 uninterrupted minutes to take a shower every day.
