Be creative and add all kinds of treats, including food like carrots.  Vary the size and put smaller treats in the beginning, so your pet is rewarded more often until they get the hang of it!  Once he is really good at, you can use larger treats.  Consider taping one opening or half the opening on both sides to increase the difficulty.  This also allows you to continue to use smaller treats.

Size (choose a ball according to jaw size – not dog size):

The 2.5" ball will hold very small-sized treats and is perfect for a "tea cup" breed with a tiny jaw opening.

The 4.5" ball will hold small-sized treats and is perfect for a small dog with a small jaw and short muzzle.

The 7" ball will hold of small-to-medium sized treats and is perfect for a medium-to-large sized dog with a long muzzle.

CAUTION: 

It is important that a pet can not pick up these balls in their mouth for safety reasons. It is meant to be "pawed at" or rolled.  Do not buy a ball that will fit in a pet’s mouth. 

Dogs with long snouts/muzzles, hinged jaws (like Boxers) or dogs weighing over 30 pounds, should choose the larger ball for safety.  Even small dogs can roll the larger balls, since these are light weight.  When in doubt, choose a larger size.  Especially, if you have different size dogs around.  As with any toy, it is important to supervise during play time.

Cleaning Instructions:
The Busy Ball does not open, but is simple to clean.  Use a tweezer to remove any treats that are still inside.  Put some mild, non-toxic soap with warm water in one opening (hole) and block the other hole.  Then, swirl or shake the soapy water inside the ball.  Then, rinse it well with plain water using the same method.

Testimonial:

Euchre, my ten-year-old Border Collie, has always been a picky eater, and would much rather play than eat her dinner. I purchased one of those ball-type toys that makes grunting noises and put her food in it. It worked…until she busted it into pieces in a matter of a week. It was difficult to load and quite frankly, the grunting sound got on my nerves, not to mention the fact that you couldn’t tell how much food was left in it.

Then I tried the Busy Dog Ball because of its clear design and warranty claim. Not only can I see what’s inside of it, it’s easier to load and the only noise is the sound of whatever is inside rolling around. The best part is that it kept this very busy Border Collie amused for THREE SOLID HOURS! Never have I seen a toy take so much abuse and still remain intact. I was amazed!

But that’s not the best part of owning this amazing toy. Euchre is afraid of thunderstorms and just can’t settle down. She pants and paces and no amount of training has been able to calm her down…until the arrival of the Busy Dog Ball. I filled the ball with dog biscuits and it kept Euchre preoccupied the entire duration of the thunderstorm! What a relief for both of us.

Thanks for an awesome product. You people are geniuses.

Sincerely,
Bob Tatus and Euchre
