“Seller” Beware
As a dog training enthusiast, it’s quite challenging to find useful product reviews when some people just don’t understand what a dog training tool, like this one, is appropriately used for. While technically “a toy”, these “toys” are actually “training tools” and like most tools, the user needs to be taught how to interact with it properly. In this case, the dog needs to be shown how to use it without destroying it!When used properly, these toys can actually last a very long time and provide a great deal of fun for both you and your dog. You just need to use a bit of common sense.For starters: These are NOT “chew toys”.”But, you train your dog to “chew” on it and “bite” it for a reward! Isn’t that a contradiction?”No! Because the interaction is controlled by the handler! It’s unlikely your dog will destroy this toy when interacted with properly! These toys are a conditioned, and interactive, reinforcer: a reward to help you train your dog and build a phenomenal bond with them! Even if you don’t want to use it for training, it’s still great for building a bond with your dog! You just need to use it appropriately and with common sense.It’s frustrating to read so many negative reviews from people that ALLOW their pet to destroy this tool and then “blame the product”. (What do you MEAN I can’t use this electric drill underwater?! This thing is a piece of junk and failed after only 5 seconds of use!!)When trained and used properly, this toy will last an appropriate amount of time. But like most things that are used in an aggressive, impact driven manner, they do experience wear and tear and occasionally require replacement (think of baseballs and tennis balls, when used appropriately.) I think most experienced dog trainers understand this.Anyhow, the title is a tongue-in-cheek poke at all the people who write unhelpful reviews regarding products they don’t understand how to use properly. It’s also a poke at the sellers/manufacturers for not standing up for themselves and informing people that these are “interactive toys” (like most dog training toys) and should be interacted with appropriately in order to get the best use out of the product.As a trainer, it’s annoying when you’re trying to figure out whether or not a training tool is of decent quality, but you have to sort through dozens of negative reviews by people that technically aren’t even using it correctly.This is a great product and when used with a little common sense, you really can’t go wrong with it.

My dogs favorite. Great customer service
The Nero ball is my Lab’s favorite tug toy. The ball itself is almost indestructible, but the rope is not. Once I let my dog play with the toy unsupervised, and of course, she gnawed through the rope. I called Nero customer service about getting a replacement rope. They were very accommodating and quickly sent one out. This is a terrific toy with great customer service! I highly recommend.

Best toy Iâve ever gotten for my dog
The toy allows you to interact with your dog in a way that I didnât 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 Iâve 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.

Great ball much improvement on thr rope
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.

Greatest toy for GSD!
My German Shepherd LOVES LOVES LOVES this thing. Iâve purchased about 5 of them, not because they donât last (they do), but so we can have them everywhere (one in each car, the backyard, the front yard, the houseâ¦). The string makes them so easy to throw far and you donât have to handle a sloppy foamy tennis ball. And itâs great for playing a little tug. All in all, a winner of a product!

My dogâs favorite reward!
Great product & well made. Rope is sturdy and makes it easier to throw/tug with my GSD. We use it during training as a reward for a job well done. He loves it!

Ripped first day
Calling it highly durable is an absolute joke. The ball is durable, but the rope is not.

Rope breaks toy breaks, buy it anyway?
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 has become our dogâs 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!
Luke Thomas –
Solid ball perfect for a working dog with high drive and a strong bite.
Stefanie H –
Durable and easy to use.
Cruiz Manning –
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.

I was very disappointed with this as it was for my German Shepard. The ball was much smaller than the pictures made it look, the rope was thin and cheap, and I could make one for cheaper than I paid for this. Iâll be returning it.
