This is a great toy for any dog owner who has a smart pup, with too much energy! It didn't take him long to figure out how to get his treats (I generally just use his kibble...and sometime feed him his dinner this way when he has too much energy). This is our second one of these toys, the first design with the rope that is actually rope is much better than the previous design where the rope portion was plastic... and he chewed through it.
