Nero Ball Pro K-9 Dog Training Ball on Rope – 2.75″ Heavy-Duty Natural Rubber Reward & Tug Toy with Nylon Throw Handle – High-Visibility Orange – Police, Military & Sport Working Dogs Fetch

One of my dog’s favorite toy. We have had this ball for almost a year and it is still intact. My Doberman loves it and has not been able to destroy it. The size is comparable to s tenis ball. It has a little weight to it witch makes it easy to trow further.

The toy allows you to interact with your dog in a way that I didn’t realize was so important until I adopted a dog who was ball obsessed and a bit disconnected. We have bonded so much over this toy and it has held up so much better than 95% of the toys I’ve gotten, which have all been labeled as high-quality or durable. It is perfect for playing fetch and for tugging, as well as training. The only thing worth noting is that the rope is thin enough that it can be uncomfortable to tug with a large or strong dog. I usually wrap a leash around my hip and hook it to the rope when we are doing intense tugging (because my 75 pound dog would win otherwise). If you do go for a tug toy that has a more comfortable handle, it will not bounce and be easy for a dog to run around with in the same way. This rope makes the weight heavily in favor of the ball, so it acts more like a ball and the dog is more inclined to grab the ball. I think this toy finds right balance of ball to rope.

Excellent toy for heavy chewers like malinois! The rope makes it easy to throw farther. Good amount of bounce as well. Definitely need to supervise as it could be a choking hazard for larger breeds.

I have to say that I absolutely live this ball. The ball itself is a great sturdy and very tough ball. The rope however needs improved. It should be a much more durable, heavy duty rope. I have 4 large dogs. I do not let them chew this toy we play fetch with it but like any dog they tug (hard) and pull and do chew at it. I do not think that can be avoided, and thr rope doesn't hold up.

my dog absolutely loves playing fetch with this toy & I haven't seen and significant damage on it - mind you, we play daily. The string itself could easily be torn if you don't properly teach your dog how to handle them, but will hold up to a game of tug! The ball itself can handle sustained chewing and the size is perfect for my 85lbs Shepard Rottweiler mix. She's able to hold onto it with no issues, and it's just big enough for her that I don't need to worry about her swallowing it - although you'd need to size that for your own dogs. This makes playtime extremely fun and less of a headache knowing that it won't break on me any time soon.

3 stars. 4 stars during the 5 months it worked. 2 Star now. The rope bites through easily & often. I could hobble the rope together the first 5 months (see how it's shorter) now toy is a dud. Durability 1 Star. Took my 6 month old puppy a few minutes to do this. You see, she chewed threw it a few times and I was able to re-tie it until I ran out of rope. She DID love to do the puzzle- carrying it around, banging it on the ground repeatedly, tugging the rope gently up and down, holding the rope while shaking the ball like a pendulum side to side, rolling it with her paws like a cat, holding the rope with her teeth and banging the ball into various objects around the room trying to dislodge Stella and Chewy Meal Mixers... She's very clever and not at all a brut. I would give this to her for ten or fifteen minutes before bed. She still likes it and it still sort of works? She can no longer pull up and down on on the rope or carry it or around or bang it against various objects. So, you basically have a ball now with treats that can super easily fall out. You can just give your dog a regular ball with no hole and throw a handful of treats on the ground. I DO recommend buying this though. My dog loves it.

This is one of my dog's fave fetch toys, and after losing it in a grassy field, I repurchased. The ball is heavy and durable, and the rope is sturdy and just the right length for flinging. When this comes out, my dog knows we're playing fetch! There's no strange smell out of the package, and while my 70lb Samoyed isn't a hard chewer, he hasn't put a dent or nick in the ball itself. It's not so hard that I'd be worried about him gnawing on it, either.

I have ordered this item more than 6 times. My dog LOVES playing fetch/tug and we've always been super happy with the product. She has a strong bite and the only reason we need to replace them is because the ball eventually breaks down (not this issue). As you can see in the pictures, the orange rope ball is not the same as what I've previously ordered nor is it the same as the image of the product. The orange rope broke on BOTH of the balls I recently purchased within the first 3 throws. Upon closer inspection the newer items also don't have "Nero Ball Ultra" anywhere on the product like the last 6 that I've ordered. The quality is suspect. I've used the same link each time to re-order and this recent purchase is a cheap product. Please fix this.

Durable and fun! My two German shepherds haven’t destroyed it.

Solid ball perfect for a working dog with high drive and a strong bite.

This has become our dog’s favourite training tool! The ball is very durable and can be thrown a country mile! Will be ordering a second one to keep at camp as well!

Very durable, a bit harder then the classic but still not too hard for the pup. I have a Dutch Shepard who loves to play fetch, but tends to destroy the ball in the process, this ball is perfect and has held up so far.

Durable and easy to use.
