Boomer Ball - ever try it?

This toy looks neat: http://www.boomerball.com/

The idea is that it's a ball too big to fit in the dog's mouth, so the more they try to catch it, the more it gets away, so it simulates chasing prey. They have a video of a herding dog "herding" a really big one. I think one just barely too big to fit in the dog's mouth would be what Rakka would go nuts for.

    They sell these at the feed store near my house. I've seen a bunch of Bull Dogs with them. They seem to really love caring them around. I never thought of getting one for Koda or Mei.

    We had them at my shelter. Dogs seem to either love them or fear them.

    That does look pretty cool. Bella loved her soccer ball, but sadly, it perished during our last move. :( Might have to get her one of these!

    My GSD loved his. He used to try to pick it up with his paws too.

    The Shibas are utterly indifferent to it, and I don't think Oskar has found it yet (it's somewhere in the yard!)

    I can only imagine that my shepherd would go crazy with a boomer ball. She loves to play with a ball, so it would be great for her. And Eowyn is actually also fond of playing with her blue ball, but whether she'd enjoy a ball she cannot chew, I don't know. She loves to chase stuff, so maybe it would awaken some hunting instinct. Could be a huge succes, but won't know till I try ;)

    VERY COOL! I like how you can add pebbles or bells or whatever inside the ball to add extra excitement for the dog! I just hope they are REALLY durable, Honey has been able to destroy every "indestructable" toy we've bought.

    I checked some local stores and I didn't exactly find a ball like this, but I found this Teaser Ball. It's hard to say if she likes it, because the kids are really obsessed with it, so I need to test it without them around!
