I bought an Amaze-A-Ball last week for Cadbury
http://www.petco.com/product/102717/JW-Pet-Amaze-A-Ball-Treat-Ball-for-Dogs.aspx
Not from that company, btw, but Pets at Home. Anyway, I wanted another activity ball because I like to give Cadbury things to do during the winter when the weather is too yucky for him to play outside much. He has a hard activity ball that you just fill and leave him to roll around, and then I spotted this.
Instead of just filling this ball and letting the stuff fall out, it has a zigzag pattern inside so the dog has to knock it in the right way to get the treats to fall out. Great for dogs that like to use their paws as well as their brains.
The only disadvantage is that you can't put in too many treats. I worked out I can put in 12 pieces of small kibble (I use Iams), any more and the treats just fall straight out. So it doesn't last as long as Cadbury's other treat ball, but it definitely gets him thinking.
Plus, because it is rubber, once he has finished off the treats he will bring it to me and I can throw it for him and it bounces really well and has him leaping all over the garden!
So if you are looking for a new activity ball I recommend this one as being fun, reasonably priced and durable. I probably should have saved it as a Christmas present for him

People say the sensors get messed up, they sometimes don't work on carpet, and the brushes always need cleaning.
