Outward Hound Tail Teaser Wand Dog Toy with Squeaky Plush, 36"

This is the BEST toy! My 4 month old 5 pound yorkie has a short attention span. She usually plays with a new toy for 10-15 minutes before she looses interest. The moment I unpacked this toy, she was hooked. She played with this for a solid hour last night (the only reason we quit is because MY arm was getting tired), then after a half hour break, she went right back to chasing the "mouse", and she was occupied for another full hour! It was also the first night that my puppy has slept completely thru the night! Hallelujah! It's great because I am disabled, so getting the puppy enough exercise can be a challenge. This allows me to sit in my chair in the front room and play with her, getting her the necessary excercise. I bought the small size, which is perfect for my small dog. The squeeky "mouse" at the end is great for her terrier instinct, although if you have a chewer who "rips" while they chew, it may not last too long (BUT, they send an extra one with the toy-Great!) The only negative is that there is a "loop" at the end of the rope that the toy is attached to, and it is possible for the dog to get its head caught in that loop, so pay attention before you pull the handle back to make the toy move. The rope appears to be a braided nylon, which is coated so it won't scratch the dog (or you) if it gets wrapped around a leg or arm. This is a toy we will be playing with for a long time, and is MY new favorite before bedtime toy. ADDED A WEEK LATER: Amazingly, this is still my puppy's favorite toy! I gave her the spare "mouse" to play with when mom didn't feel like it, and she broke the squeeker in it the first hour, but she still loves the toy. As for the one on the pole, she will still chase after it for an hour at a time. I let her "catch" it then chew on it for a minute, the I pull it for her to chase again (although she has gotten pretty smart and has learned to step on the cord so I can't pull it away). If she gets tired of chasing the toy, she goes after the end of the pole, so this is a multi-entertainment toy.I am totally in love with this thing! I DO have issues with their price of multiple replacement toys, but that's for another time UPDATE:So, it's almost a month later, and she is STILL playing with the toy! Although, now she chases "mouse" for a little while, then wants to chew on the rope, or the plastic tip, or the handle. She figures the handle must be fun if it's in mom's hand. I also purchased extra toys and now one of those is in her toybox. If mom doesn't want to play, I just give her the loose one and she's happy (although then I get to listen to lots of squeeking when she bites the toy). These are her favorite toys. These are great for small dogs. This is the best $20 I have spent for my dog so far! UPDATE 8 MONTH LATER-She is STILL playing with this toy! I have replaced the "mouse" (our name for the fuzzy toy) 4 times and the wrapping on the pole is a little worse for wear from her chewing on it, but she still loves this thing! My dog is now 2 weeks shy of a year old and we go out every day its not raining and she chases the toy for a good half hour. On rainy days she chases it around the front room. I have bought her 20 other toys, but this is still her favorite. She also has 2 "mice" that she plays with that are not attached to the pole, so those are popular here as well. You keep selling them, I'll keep buying them, and she'll keep chewing on them. GREAT TOY!

I bought this Outward Hound Tail Teaser 3 years ago. I have used it frequently with my personal dogs and the dogs in my home dog boarding / daycare business. My rat terrier (not shown) was obsessed with this toy and we had to be careful when we got it out and then had to find a way to put it away where he couldn’t find it as he would jump and scratch up doors trying to get to it in closets. It is an excellent toy for those with a good prey drive who like to chase things. It is fun for the person and great exercise for the dog. It’s a win win!!! It is a sharp and fun looking toy. The colors are cheery and bright and have not faded over the years. The handle is very comfortable and the weight is excellent! There is no wear and tear on your arm when you swing it around. The rope is strong and the two toys are very durable and catch the interest of the dogs with the squeaker, long fur, crinkle, and rattle. The attachment toys are very easy to attach and remove to wash or replace. While the attachment toys hold up a long time, I have ordered replacement toys because eventually they get yucky and ripped up if you have dogs who catch and chew or refuse to release them. It also would be good to use to train a dog to wait or stay as it can be used for a fun distraction to increase their self control as you wiggle it more and more the longer they are able to learn to ignore it until you say they can have it. It also would be a good tool to teach them leave it or drop it as you can reward their release of the toy with a treat or get them to drop the toy by enticing them with a treat. All in all it is an absolutely fabulous toy for the price! It was well worth every penny! It would make an excellent gift for the special fur babies in your life.

We recently adopted a high energy mixed breed working dog (border collie/aussie etc.) and have been struggling to give him enough exercise each day. I looked at this toy for about six weeks before ordering it because our little darling is a determined power chewer and can destroy "indestructible" toys in nothing flat. I'm SO glad I finally ordered it! Thanks to the Amazon community who -- once again -- helped me find a great product. We've been using this toy now for about a month and it's still in great shape -- aside from being regularly soaked in saliva! Our dog really, really, really loves this toy. My husband gave it a funny name and plays with it using a funny voice, and as soon as our dog hears the toy name or special voice, he just goes crazy with excitement! It's incredibly fun. NOTE: If you have a young energetic dog like we do, work him up gradually and be alert to safety. We recommend starting on grass or a soft carpet -- something a bit padded and with good traction. We made the mistake of playing a few times on a hard wood floor and our hyper excited young little dog landed once or twice on his back. After that he was afraid of the toy for a few days. We started again gently keeping the toy trajectory low to the ground and playing only on grass and carpet. We were also careful to avoid motions that would lead him to twist too much in the air before landing. After a few days he was back to happy hyper excitement and leaping high in the air again like a crazy little daredevil. After a month he is so skilled and coordinated that we don't worry about bad landings anymore. His eye-object-mouth coordination has improved, he is better at catching (and releasing!) frizbees and balls, and we can see him paying attention to how he lands. It has made a real difference in his coordination and balance. It's a great toy for little dog athletes-- as good a discovery as the wonderful Chuck-it Glowball. I can't say enough good things about it. And tough? No problems at all so far -- it's still in great shape. My husband has taken to using the replacement teaser toy by hand as a quick fun break indoors when he is at his computer and out dog is with him. One other tip: try using an old coat and gloves the first couple weeks if you play outside. Our dog got so excited he got a little careless with his teeth when were were taking it away from him, and he also wanted to bounce off of us at first as he lept up and down. Wonderful, wonderful toy to exhaust and entertain your dog while entertaining but not exhausting yourself!

This is a great toy, it's well made and the crinkly and squeaky part of the duck works well, and is fun. The duck is super cute! The wand is also put together well and it makes for a great interactive toy for your dog. My dog loved it! One thing they can do better at the factory are these darn tagging barbs. One was sewn into the toy, and it made getting it out impossible. It was sewn in, so it couldn't exactly be pushed in either, it just made for a super sharp little nubbin that was painful for both me and the dog. I finally managed to push it into the toy, but it took a long time.

I have had this toy for about a week now and my 12 week-old puppy absolutely LOVES it! She has seemingly infinite energy, and I was having difficulty finding ways to tire her out, especially because she hadn't had all of her puppy vaccinations yet and wasn't allowed to play with other dogs (which meant no dog park, no puppy class, etc.). I saw this toy when I was browsing Amazon and decided it was worth a try. Well, as I said earlier, my puppy absolutely loves it! I move it around the floor and she chases after it running full speed. It is by far the best way I have found to entertain her and tire her out inside the apartment, and the best part is that I don't have to run around like crazy: I can just stand (or even sit) in one spot and swing the toy around. She cannot get enough of it. As I stated before, I have only had this toy for about a week, I probably should mention that my puppy is only about 3-4 pounds; however, the toy seems to be extremely durable. A larger dog might be able to do some damage to the toy itself (just as they can with any other toy), but it does come with a replacement. Also, I love how thick and sturdy the rope is. For a puppy as small as mine, the rope part can sort of double as a rope toy, because it is definitely sturdy enough for a small dog to chew on it without you having to worry about them destroying it or swallowing pieces of it. I would guess that the toy is probably durable enough to use outdoors, but I have not tried that yet. Regardless, on days when the weather isn't conducive to playing outside, this toy is a phenomenal way to entertain your dog inside and get them to burn off some energy, even if you don't have a ton of space inside your home. Overall, I truly believe this is one of the best purchases I have ever made. You and your dog can get hours and hours of fun for a very reasonable price. I have made countless purchases on Amazon over the years, and this is the first time that I have ever taken the time to write a product review, which should tell you how much my puppy and I love this product. I would highly recommend this toy for anyone who has a puppy (or an adult dog that still has lots of energy and enjoys playing with toys), especially a smaller breed (like a Havanese, which is what my puppy is). If your dog is anything like mine, you (and your dog) will be extremely pleased with your purchase.

I have two puppies, they are 4 month old American Eskimo's and love to tussle, pull, and any activity using their teeth is exciting to them. The Kyjen Tail Teaser is a fun way to exercise them. The pole is very flexible, allowing them to pull as hard as they can on the toy without anyone getting hurt. It wears them out pretty fast (about 10 minutes and they are tuckered out) which of course means they don't have the energy to get into trouble. :) The rope that attaches the toy to the pole is something like military grade nylon. Extremely durable. The pole is a tough, flexible graphite that flexes like a real fishing pole. My two puppies together weigh an even 40 pounds combined weight and the pole/rope/toy combination is plenty strong enough for them to give it their all. I expect the pole and rope would last the life-time of the dogs. It is as much fun for me as it is for them, to go "puppy-fishing". It comes with a second toy, and I simply looped it on to the rope, so each puppy could have their own bait. I ended up buying a second pole so each puppy could have their own experience. For the amount of fun, exercise, and enjoyment this gift brings to both dog and person- it is priceless. I would recommend this to anyone who has puppies that are active and need to play a lot. P.S. The rope while very durable, is as attractive to a teething puppy as the attached toy is. It must feel very good on their gums because my little girl puppy spends more time chewing on the rope than gnawing on the toy. She managed to chew threw it in three days of playing. But the design of the rope (a long line ending in a loop, and it was the loop that got chewed in two) allowed me to simply tie the toy back on with a square knot. The first thing you have to do is cut the tags off of the toys...they are little part tags sewn on and that's the first thing my puppies went for. Anything vulnerable I guess!!! It is definitely 5-STAR fun. They like to grab the toy and be dragged on their bellies. Nothing like deep-sea fishing in the living room!

I really think it’s a great dog toy and lots if fun for dogs . Our puppy/dog is really rough on toys and she has destroyed some of the most well-made rugged toys that we thought would last forever that being said this lasted way longer than we expected .She broke it in nine days, but she loved it so much!

My puppy loves this toy! It’s actually her favorite interactive toy.

Best exercise toy ever for my border collie.

My dog LOVES this toy! Very sturdy :)

毎日これで遊ぶんだけど、人形だけの代えが欲しい！他の人形の代えはあるけど、この人形の代えなくないですか？？？？？どなたかあったら教えて！！2023年1月に誕生日であげたけどすっごくよく遊ぶから新しいお人形に変えたい！

We have a dog with many toys, but he tires of them after a while. During severe winter weather, we were trying to get him exercised, inside,somehow, as he is a runner and jumper by nature, in good weather, using our large property to stay happy and healthy on his daily outings with us, It is impossible to tell you how excited he gets at the sight of this pole, and the rattling of the little stuffed animal hypes him up totally. We never knew he could grab "prey" out of midair until this came along! He wags his tail the entire time, every second, that it is in use, until we finally get tired, before he does, and hide it away in a closet. He chases it around and around the room , whether we drag it on the floor (at great speed) or twirl it around in the air. When he does catch it, we just pull it back from him and twirl it around again. He never loses the enthusiasm and the pure joy of playing with it. BEST thing we ever have bought in all the years, for any of the dogs we have owned. The pole, though quite lightweight, seems quite sturdy, as does the plaited nylon rope. If this ever breaks, we will buy him another immediately, and now, we also plan to get the larger, longer version of "flirt pole" for outddors when the weather allows.

O brinquedo é resistente, bem feito, e para o tipo de cão que animaizinhos em movimento chamam a atenção , este é um brinquedo perfeito, a minha adora! Gasta energia na perseguição . Indico muito para este tipo de cachorro q adora brincar de perseguir
