When we were first teaching Tundra to fetch we were told to use two balls as she will go to get the ball and then return when she sees you have another one... all excited she drops it because she knows you'll throw it again for her. Worked like a charm! It also helped with the "come" command as she loved the ball so much she wouldn't leave our side when we were lucky enough to get it back from her.
After visiting the vet, we were also told never to give a dog (or wolf) a tennis ball as it acts like an SOS pad with the texture when they gnaw on the ball for their teeth. This can cause rapid filling off of important K-9 teeth and is not good for healthy, strong teeth.
So Jason, being the crazy researchers (aka NERDS) that we are found these CHUCK IT balls. We saw these in Superstore (I think) for $19.99 and couldn't seem to find dog balls without that texture of a tennis ball ANYWHERE else... I'm a little chocked later to find the Chuckit! Ultra Ball Dog Toy here for $7.99 for the same TWO balls!!!
Wolf-hybrids have very very strong jaws for a large breed and these balls stand up to my dog. As this is her favorite toy, you can imagine how much it gets a work out.
We also purchased Chuckit! Ultra Ball Launcher Dog Toy (the long red contraption in the photo of Tundra to the left). This launcher is amazing for how far you can throw the ball and of course the fact that you NEVER have to touch the NASTY ASS SLIMY DOG SPIT BALL!
These balls are amazing because they are CRAZY bouncy, even higher than a regular tennis ball! It also gives this breed of dog, a wolf-hybrid, a challenge which with their high intelligence level is VERY IMPORTANT!!!
My next purchase for Tundra as a stocking stuffer will be the Chuckit! The Whistler Dog Toys, the Chuckit! Erratic Ball Dog Toys (because of the cuts on this ball it does random bouncing that Tundra will LOVE!!!).
I'll write reviews when I get these puppies in the mail & Report back to my readers!
