| OMG! Stop the maddness I bought a wobble wag giggle ball today and the barking has not stopped. Zoey has played and played until her tongue is hanging out. I put it up on the mantel and she sat and looked at it and barked. So I gave it back to her. After another half hour of barking and playing I hid it in a trunk. She has not stopped looking for it and barking for over another half hour. I gave it back and she runs it into a corner and barks. Warning! Don't buy one unless you want a frenzied dog.

| I'll have to see if Ican get one for my boy, not that I am fond of barking, just sounds like a fun toy for my boy. I will have to deal with the barking if he likes it.

| I bought one of these at WalMart and had to return it. Peanut was not a fan. It is a hard plastic and rather large. I thought he would really like it when I saw it advertised but it didn't work out for us |

| I also ordered one....it looked like something they could brasp with their mouths....dont know if "hard plastic" is going to work for some of mine.....but the action and rolling it around I am hoping will keep them stimulated, something new to play with! I want to let this new litter encounter it...they are all like little sponges soaking up all new experiences and adventures, I think that silly, noisy active toy will be great for them! |

| There are plenty of youtube videos showing the responses of different dogs to the wobble wag giggle ball. I'll post one below. Some of them seem astonished or afraid. My Bella would probably be afraid--she hates her squeaky alligator. |

| My Mickey can't pick it up but loves chasing it around and pushing it with his nose or his feet. H does play with it until his tongue is hanging out. It rolls better on the kitchen floor than on carpet

| My friend gave me one of those balls and OMG did Bentley go completely crazy! He started barking nonstop, he got really anxious, tongue was hanging out, and he was drooling a lot (only 5 minutes of play) I took it away, put it on top of the fridge and he would not move from the kitchen looking at it. It was a very obsessive behavior and I wasnt comfortable with it. I still have it hidden in the closet in hope I can give it to him when he's older and not so hyper lol But it was a really upsetting reaction :-/

| I ordered one this morning. I played the video that Phil posted and Barney went crazy over the sound. So I am hoping he will enjoy the ball.

| Zoey figured out how to pick it up today. That helps when she rolls it into a corner.

| I've never seen this toy but....my husband bought a silly plastic ball that has a "racoon" tail attached to it. That stupid battery operated ball rolls around and that "tail" flips all over...ERnie is overjoyed with it but Tyson and Rin are scared of it!!
