Puzzle feeders get solved and abandoned. And the gap in between — a bored dog on a wet afternoon while you're working — is when the skirting boards start getting chewed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA tower your dog pushes with their nose. A tennis ball rolls out of the exit, and a little food falls into the tray at the base. They chase the ball, come back, push it in the top, and it happens again. The loop is what makes it work: chase, reward, reset, repeat — without you throwing anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy owners choose it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRuns itself\u003c\/strong\u003e — your dog reloads the game by dropping the ball back in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo rewards in one\u003c\/strong\u003e — the chase and the food, so it holds attention far longer than either alone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical and mental at once\u003c\/strong\u003e — running plus working out the mechanism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo tennis balls and a scoop included\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmooth plastic\u003c\/strong\u003e, no sharp edges, wipes clean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: ABS plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall diameter: about 30 cm (11.8 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: about 18 cm (7.1 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBall exit: about 7.5 cm (3 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: 1 launcher, 2 tennis balls, 2 food trays, 1 scoop, instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTeaching it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost dogs don't work it out alone.
