and if you've been on the channel before you'll know that we love the idea of food toys if you know you're spending some time indoors with your dog a food toy can be a great way for them to use their brain do some problem-solving as well as just a fun pastime so you can spend some time with your dog and they can get some entertainment from it we actually love the idea of food toys so much that we've posted a couple videos of how to make your own food toys on recent trip to a local pet store I discovered this Kong gyro in this star mark treat dispensing chew ball today we're gonna go head-to-head and see which one of these is the best for your energetic dog I'm Ken steep and welcome back to McCann dogs now if this is your first time on the channel and you consider your dog a member of the family then hit that subscribe button we publish new videos every single week help you spend some quality time with your four-legged family member so let's talk about first impressions now this Kong gyro and this tube all they're both size large so I would imagine that they are aiming at the same size of dog when they're selling these and we know that Kong has a long history of making great dog products it seems pretty well made it's a pretty you know it's pretty substantial material and its really hard now this I'm less familiar with the star mark line of dog toys but this treat dispensing shoe ball it's quite soft you know it's it's quite it's quite a rubbery sort of feeling ball and it right here it says that the product is virtually indestructible now any time I see that I have to wonder how indestructible it is I immediately think of our 13 year old black lab named Eagan who is a very intense tour and there aren't many things in this world that she can't destroy if we don't supervise some of that chewing so I don't want you to think that you know you can just leave this with your super intense chewing dog and it's not going to get ruined these are interactive toys you know these aren't chew toys that I just leave of the dog for them to play with on their own an interactive toy requires some supervision maybe something like a Kong you know the the classic Kong it's you know three sort of rings all together if you haven't seen one III don't know how you've not seen one at this point but I'll put a picture of one up here those Kong's are you know require less supervision you can leave a colleague that Kong like that as a chew toy but these are interactive toys you're gonna be doing playing with these with your dog the other thing that caught me when I read it was that it helps prevent destructive boredom behaviors I think that's a pretty big claim for a toy to make I think the best thing you can do for a dog who is exhibiting destructive board and behaviors is give them information it isn't reasonable to think that this giving your dog this toy to play with it's going to stop them from chewing on your shoes your great information is what's gonna stop them from chewing on your shoes the idea behind both of these guys is that we can take them apart in the Kong's case you twist off the ball twisted in half and then place some appropriately sized treats in there and in the cue ball you can sort of adjust the size of the opening which I thought was pretty cool that you can you know use different size treats for different sized dogs and also you know make it a little bit easier or more difficult for the treats to actually come out of the toy which you know you can sort of cater to whatever your dog's experience is with the toy so I thought those kind of a great idea for the chew ball all right so I've loaded these up and I've tested them out a little bit to make sure that they're both going to dispense food so let's bring in our first tester so our first tester today is gonna be B line now B line isn't super motivated by food she likes food and she will certainly work for food but I think she'd prefer toys most of the time so we're gonna see what B Line thinks and then after this maybe you've got a dog who you know would much prefer food so I'm gonna grab one of our dogs that also really likes food and see if there's a difference in how they play with the toy so let's get started and I'm gonna bring you guys right on top of the action here with the other handheld camera but you can see well introduce this to be will show her that there's some treats in it she can smell it there some something inside she's just not sure what yet oh and you see this already a bit of a payout there good we'll just watch her sort of problem-solve here oh she's figuring it out that way she rolls the ball food it will come out of it and I can I know there's a couple more in there so look at how quickly she's figured that out now the thing that I don't love about this is that it just sort of rolls away now v-line were a little bit more intense of a player she might she might be rolling that you know into a wall she's definitely focused on the toy now I see that it's out of treat so we're gonna have to reload it okay so round two with our treat let's see what she does and see how quickly she figures out what's how to play with this toy so it is and this baby partially my fault for cutting out the the holes on the cue ball but it's you know really spitting out those toys pretty freely but I feel like it would be difficult to have the toys or have the treats come out if it weren't a specific size and what I do notice is that she's not chewing on the toy she's really understands that that this toy will spit out treats if she rolls it the b-line is very excited to play this okay B now I do like the idea that this isn't rolling very far I do like the idea that you know she's playing with it in a little more enclosed space you can see she got a treat out of it there I think for you know those dogs who get really excited and flinging that ball around or if you have a smaller space today I've chosen to work on our Head Start for puppies Hall it's a nice wide-open area and I thought I could really see let be loose and see what she did with this toy but you can see that the Kong version of the food dispenser to light hasn't you know rolled around she's stayed in a pretty a much smaller area next up the tiny poodle now hippy is much more interested in food than she is in toys she's also quite interested in climbing on my shoulder right now but we'll see what hippies experience is with these toys and you can see this intensity let's see if she has the same intensity where she's trying to get the treats out now the one thing I noticed about this two ball is that it was delivering the treats quite quickly and it may have been you know because I had cut the hole too big in the side of the ball but I thought to make sure that this test was relatively accurate I went to our store in our training facility here and I got some much bigger treats you can see how well you guessed and see those but there are a lot bigger than the pieces of food that I was using before so I'm going to put these in the two ball and see if there's a difference [Music] [Music] so this is some this is interesting to see hippy struggling a little bit with this toy I think she needs to understand that food will come out of this like it did the last one so I'm just gonna help her a little bit see if she can connect those two things now again this may be part of the toy drive here get it kitchen she has you know a lower toy drive than hippier then beeline did so what we're seeing is a little bit less she's a little bit less responsive to get the treats from the toy she needs a little bit more coaching there you go that's a big payoff for her next up is our Labrador Retriever named vegan he looks pretty excited to play this toy okay come on well there she goes so she the first thing she tried to do is carry the ball and I think she's discovered that treats can come out of it if she moves it around but rather than roll it she just seems to be squeezing it picking away at it which isn't necessarily a bad thing oh now she's just she's quite content just carrying carrying the toy and she's lost interest in the fact that it's actually dispensing treats for her she makes her way around she's discovering the treats but I think she'd be just quite content carrying it and chewing on it let's see if she has a different experience here with the conch oh I see it's actually dispensing treats pretty quickly and I think she's figured it out [Music] so this is what I'm talking about with deacon being an intense chewer I need to keep her from you can see that she's already you know quite a dent in it so this is something you know I wouldn't leave this with Deegan for her to chew on but I would you know be there to discourage leave it good I would discourage any time she started to chew on it so this might not be you know a great toy for a dog who's really mousy really loves to chew since big drop it good girl so let's get to the shootout now if you have a dog who loves food but isn't crazy about toys maybe this is a better option for you now keep in mind I had cut the kibble so that it would just fit in and out of here and I found that you know those unusual shapes of the treats that I used in the second or maybe the third example they were more difficult to get out but if you have a dog that isn't super duper motivated by toys this is a good one because it's really simple to use it doesn't require a lot of problem-solving they just need to roll it around but with this toy you know you do need that this will if you have a super energetic dog high energy they are gonna be rolling it all over the place they are gonna be you know racing it around the house where the Kong requires a little bit more thought it requires you know a little bit more interaction your dog needs to understand yeah you know that they can interact with these toys flip it around roll it around and that it will eventually pay out but if you find that your dog starts to stall a lot a toy like this you need to help them you need to show them you know that if I roll it some food is gonna pop out maybe a hippie shake got a little bit frustrated with it because she's not a super toy motivated dog and she doesn't really get great satisfaction from engaging with toys that's something that we trained her to do she you know she'll have a lot of fun tugging and she'll have a lot of fun playing with a toy with us but when we leave a toy independently on the ground unless something like it you know like a nylon bone she's just not doesn't get great satisfaction from playing with it so really take into consideration what kind of dog you've got does your dog love food but maybe not love toys that much and maybe consider how big an area do you have this Kong really didn't move around the ground as much as the ball did the ball would just naturally roll you know all over the place do you have a high-energy dog that will zoom this around the house where this might move a little bit more slowly do you have a dog who needs this kind of you know motion and really it you activate that Chase Drive for your dog that a toy like this is gonna provide it's gonna get them more excited about that motion and more excited about playing with the toy but keep those things in mind before you you know go you go I wouldn't you spend $20 on one of these toys you know that we like food puzzles we you know that we think you know it's a fun way to spend time with your dog and we've actually created a couple of videos on food puzzles on making a food dispensing toys for your dogs like brain games and I'll post those in a cart above but I'll also post a link below in the description now
