Toy encourages self play and exercise. BONUS: Provides hilarious entertainment for pet owner!
Style: Animal Sounds Babble, Size: Large
My Havanese loves this toy. It keeps him occupied for long periods of time. There are so many different animal sounds...some which are a bit annoying. The good news is because there are so many different sounds, we are all spared from hearing the shrill and annoying ones repeatedly. It is a "HOOT" to watch him chase the ball around. He bats the ball back and forth between his front paws almost as if he's playing soccer. He also has two "talking" babble balls, one small and one large. Havanese are people loving people pleasers so it's not surprising he seems to like human voice phrases of Talking Babble ball.
I read many reviews on this product and the Talking Babble ball prior to purchase. Several review stated the purchasers pets had successfully chewed the ball causing the interior components to be exposed and thus caused a choking hazard. I ordered the toy anyway. My 9 month old Havanese is an active playful pup, but has barely made a scratch mark on either size of these balls. He doesn't chew on the balls he chases them. If your dog is a small breed, I do not think you need to be worried about this toy being a safety hazard.
I only gave the product 4 stars because despite my purchase of the largest size, the ball still gets caught/lost under the couch, china cabinet, TV hutch, as well as the refrigerator and kitchen cabinets toe kicks....UGH. I purchase a fantastic pet playpen when I was in the thick of house training my puppy. I've tried putting the balls in the playpen, leaving both pen doors open. Although large enough for him to roll and chase the balls...he tries to flip them over the bottom lip of the pen and out the door. He has been successful in his attempts, but he has been successful at moving the playpen at least 4-5 feet while trying. Hmmm... It's frustrating, as I have STOP my activities & work often to retrieve the balls that have rolled under furniture etc. I've tried using long strips of cardboard boxes to block various problem ball "disappearsing" spaces. Not only is the cardboard unattractive, but it seems the spaces are never ending. 😜 I have considered buying plexiglass and cutting it into the necessary lengths etc. YEPPER...TO MUCH WORK!!! So my request is: " Pet Qwerks, My dog loves your product and so do I. Please make the same toy but in a larger size so that it does get caught under the bottom of average height furnishings ( 4.5 inches in diameter) . I suggest a 5" diameter ball."

A TINY HACK = 5 STAR multisensory dog doy for older dog
Style: Talking Babble, Size: Small, Style: Talking Babble, Size: Small
WATCHED MY 13 YR DOG TURN INTO A PUPPY AGAIN! (A simple hack that made much safer from a 2 star to 5 star with some puppy love & makes a perfect all sensory toy for older dogs) Please read for a 5 min diy hack using the babble ball to make the ULTIMATE DOG TOY UNDER $15. My dog is blind in 1 eye and loosing sight in the other. He is a 13 yr old min pin. I wanted a ball he could track by sound and still play catch. I was excited when the ball came but worried about its quality . This ball would break the first time you threw it, your dogs teeth or the ball :( (internal electronics and ball shell would even Crack on a non carpeted floor). I was going to return it until i saw my dogs ears at full attention wondering what new toy he got for xmas and what kind of owner would i be to deny that face and look of interest I rarely see from him. So i SIMPLY took a tennis ball made an X cut with an exacto knife as well as a few other small X cuts so the sound is amplified (speaker very low) . The small version fits perfectly inside the tennis ball and can now be a safe indoor ball that you can roll or toss and more durable for younger dogs. It has been a hit with all the neighborhood dogs (wish I got commission lol).
NOW The ULTIMATE MULTISENSORY TOY USING THE BABBLE BALL!!
If you want 2 go the extra step (I am glad I did I have not seen my dog play like this since he was a puppy plus he is 2 small 2 enjoy winter ). I had ordered the hertz bacon scented squeak ball and it's like cat nip for dogs until they destroy it. I also had a rubber ball that looks like the ever lasting godsmacker from willy Wonka that lights up when you hit it. So I took the babble ball which btw has hilarious sounds that really make your dog's want to interact with it. I took a hospital sock with the foot grips on the outside (when rolled it adds random movment from friction as well as easy for dog to grab. I placed the tennis/babble ball first, then the light up rubber ball, followed by the hertz bacon scented ball. I tied a knot in between each ball then added another sock for protection. I left room on both ends so toy could also be used for tug of war. This has been the best gift for my aging dog- not 2 mention his younger brother a min dashound . He is getting so much exercise, especially since it is winter, he even plays tug of war with his brother where they normally get jealous over toys always causing me 2 order 2 of the same toy lol but now they take turns for their favorite new toy. I will try and include pics and a video b/c I'm sure you love your dog as much as I do and with just a bit of effort and about $8 & an old pair of socks you will never see your dog instantly act so young again. Overall by itself this toy is what you get for the price I do wish the ball was a durable plastic or some sort of rubber coating. The best example I can give of the ball it self is a light hard plastic like a cheap kids toy solid but something you would tell your kid they need 2 play with careful and just roll on the floor something a dog doesn't understand . For the price it is a good toy you can make great.
So a complex rating: 2 stars out of the box
If you view as a part 2 a toy it's 5 stars all the way. 4 stars babble/tennis ball hack. 5 stars as part of an all sensory diy dog toy under $15.

Best toy my dog has had!
Style: Blinky Babble, Size: Medium
Update 11/7/19: we bought another of these today. After multiple battery replacements, ours finally died. My pup was forlorn; even though he has the original and the animal sounds balls, this is by far his favorite babble ball. I keep it stuffed inside another rubber ball, but eventually his drool rusted the metal electronic bits. Still absolutely worth it even though it's loud and makes me bonkers sometimes. 😂 This, and a new box of button batteries, have made him a happy boy again.
Original review:
I have a toy-obsessed Miniature English Bull Terrier, and he goes absolutely bonkers for this toy. In fact, we have to give it to him in short bursts or he would exhaust himself playing with it. It's by far the toy he has responded most positively to, almost too positively (he wears us and himself out).
The ball itself is red, round, hard plastic about the size of a tennis ball. Since it has batteries I wouldn't want my dog to swallow, and I have an aggressive chewer, I took a page from another reviewer and stuck it inside another (rubber) ball so that he's not chewing directly on the hard plastic. This has worked well so far, but it's definitely a toy for supervised play only. It makes a series of sounds (motorcycle, speaking, etc) and turns itself on and off when you're playing with it, so my dog will pounce on it when it starts making noises and then stalk it when it's quiet. It's very engaging for him.
I highly recommend this if you have a pup who responds strongly to squeaker toys, but if you have an aggressive chewer, consider putting it inside another ball, and definitely plan on supervising play. This is well worth the price for the amount of joy it has brought our pup.

Dog loves this toy. A lot.
Style: Animal Sounds Babble, Size: Large
Let this be said first. I HATE this toy. It's loud. It's annoying. It scares me in the middle of the night if I walk too close to wherever my prankster dog has left it hidden. Did I mention that it's loud?
Now that that's out of the way, let me tell you a few things about the ball I got for my dog for Christmas 2014. Keep in mind that I have an 80 pound energetic young counter-surfing chew-happy Rhodesian Ridgeback. And the ball I bought was a small size.
As I may have mentioned, he's a chewer. This toy broke in half today. That is, like, a record for him. He's a tube o tennis balls a week kind of guy, and this stupid little ball lasted him (barely) over a year. He just walks around with it in his mouth giving you goofy looks while the ball makes animal noises and they echo around in his skull. Occasionally he tosses it as high as he can and then chases it after it lands on the floor and rolls off (it's an old house, the floors are slightly slanted, don't judge), which is why the ball broke. He tossed it a bit to high and the seam finally gave way. I was initially concerned because of the hard plastic shell, but after a month of constant supervision I realised that he was okay with the ball and stopped watching so closely.
It has also been a source of constant amusement to him. He likes to tuck it away just off of the high traffic areas and just out of sight to his humans. Then, as his humans walk past and activate it and jump 50 feet in the air, there he his. Standing there. Wagging his tail and giving you a doggy grin. You can almost hear him laughing....
Seriously, odds are you will hate this stupid little ball. But, it will totally be cancelled out while you watch as your little buddy does goofy crap with it. Heck, mine broke his 10 minutes ago and here I am, ordering another one, knowing that in a week I'll be cursing again.
Don't let your dog play with it unattended, at least until you know whether or not they are going to try to break it into a billionty pieces and eat it. I imagine that it could break into sharp shards. For some reason though, my dog didn't try to kill this one. Hopefully you're dog will like it as much as mine does. Hopefully you won't hate it as much as I do. :)
