I would love it if you would review harnesses, both those that have the leash attach at the front and those that attach on the back. I understand the different uses of each. I’d be interested in your review of harnesses for ease of putting on/off the dog, comfort/ease of movement when wearing, ease of adjustment, and durability. Thanks for all you do!!
Our 14 week 24 lb Bernadoodle loves both the Toppl and the Bob-a-lot. We give him his meals in the Toppl often, and he will pick it up in his mouth and carry it from place to place as he works his way to the bottom. I love it that it’s dishwasher safe too. We give him the Bob-a-Lot on a hardwood floor and it is noisy, and he isn’t afraid of it, but he’s also not afraid of most other loud noises either. Even after all of the treats are gone he will continue to play with it empty, and lick the outside. It may help that I crumble his favorite treats to go inside- 100% pure beef liver (freeze dried). Thank you, Michelle, and your Team for introducing us to both through your training videos! Looking very forward to future product reviews!
How exciting! You have so much time to prepare! Make sure you check out our New Puppy Starter Kit for even more ways to plan for your new family member: howtotrainadreamdog.com
We have and love the Toppl (We also have both sizes to make it a puzzle for our dog) We also have the kong wobbler, my only dislike about it is how deep set the lip is, even I struggled getting a good portion of Addy's kibble out (she has huge kibble- Royal Canin Adult Labrador Retriver) so I'm going to try to modify it by building a little insert to pop in for a higher bottom that is also easy to take out and clean. I think she'd love the snoop as well, so that's on my list now! What I'd love to see reviewed are "Hands free" leash belts/ Joring/ Jogging belts. A few examples being Kong, Kurgo, or Hurtta.
The Toppl is a win, but Bitsy has never overcome her fear or dislike of the bob a lot. I am going to try the Snoop toy again. It's been a while, and she might enjoy it more now! Thanks for such a good video!!!
Beware that the “snoop” gets mold within the rubber as the rubber gets micro cracks over time. I’m very diligent about cleaning and drying the dispenser after use but can’t get this “mold” out of the “inside” of the inside. My dog likes the snoop better but I’m favoring the Kong (I have both you showed in your video) for safety sake. Might have to try the WestPaw products next.
I have bought the Kong Wobbler, nice to know the cleaning is easy, and that it does not make so mutch noise 😁 Looking forward to try it with ny coming puppy 😊 I have also bought Kong Puppy, lickymat and snufflemat, so I hope I can engage my pup in some "right" activity, instead of crying and doing s**t she should not do 🤣😊
Awesome! It sounds like you're really getting prepared for your puppy! Check out our New Puppy Starter Kit: howtotrainadreamdog.com This can be another great way to be prepared!
I have seen a container that holds maybe 6 objects "toys etc" You can set a time to release of each object while you are at work. You just set the container up on a shelf. Once the first object is kicked out, the dog just seats there, waiting for the next surprise. The last one was a ball with peanut butter with little slats so they have to really work to get the peanut butter out. It keeps them busy all day. I seen it on a dog training program years ago. I would like to buy one, but can't fine the container.
We recommend that your dog sleep in the crate while you are gone at work. Dogs can get very curious and destructive when they have freedom in the house. The safest place for him is to be in the crate. You can make sure he gets his playtime, exercise and enrichment before you go and after you come home.
Yes, but the West Paw topple, the large size is $23 and if I buy the extra large (which is what I would buy because I have a GSD puppy) that’s going to be an easy fifty bucks toy. Thank goodness he likes his puppy Kong so I can graduate him up to a medium size Kong (he’s only 11 weeks old).
Just purchased the ‘small’ Bob-a-lot for my puppy. Clearly too big and heavy. I gave it to my 20lb dachshund/terrier mix. He found it too big/heavy, and the top was immediately damaged by teeth marks when he drug it across the floor the first time. Will be trying a different option for my pups.
It sounds like the WestPaw may be right up your puppy's alley! They make a small version, and it's a bit more durable! Check it out here. www.howtotrainadreamdog.com/Toppl
I would like to see a review on the idig. I've already made my purchase, but especially at its higher price point, I'd love to hear your team's assessment.
Our goldendoodle loves KONG toys including the puppy wobbler and bone and real tennis balls that bounce. We are thinking about buying the KONG wobbler dispenser toy from the video, but are not sure about the size. Gigi is about 27 lbs and is a mini. Please do some reviews on shampoos, conditioners, dog perfumes, etc. for bath time. Thanks much! 🐶💕
@@HowToTrainADreamDog, just wanted to follow up and let you know that the smaller KONG Wobbler is a great success. She carries it in her mouth like a pacifier so proudly. The only downside is she gets bored and the treats (kibbles) stay in the KONG since it is much bigger than her tiny puppy KONG. We tried putting about 10 kibbles in and still she likes to come back to it after a few days. Guess she really likes her puzzle food bowl instead. We had an issue early on (around 4 - 6 months or so) where Gigi would rush through eating and then seem to have an upset tummy. Our vet and HTTADD both suggested the puzzle like feeding items. They are all different and awesome! Thank you!!! 😃🐕💕
my dog's kibble is too big for the Bob-a-Lot and the giant Kong Wobbler now that we have switched to Royal Canin Labrador formula. Do you think it is ok to give my dog these toys with just treats?
Yes, it shouldn't be a problem. However, you're going to want to be weary of how many extra calories your pup will be getting if using treats for these toys!
I have a question: I’ve been trying hard to get the garbage that’s found in plastics and are endocrine disrupters and carcinogenic out of my life. I don’t want these things near my dogs either. Do you know if these recommended products are free of these things or if there is a company you recommend that makes dog products free of these things?
We're not necessarily sure about the chemical makeup of these toys in particular. We recommend that you find an all-natural pet/feed store near you. The staff there will likely be able to guide you to find toys similar to these that fit your lifestyle! We wish you the best of luck!
Thanks for watching! 🐶Have you used any of these products? What other products would you like me to review?

This sounds like a dream! We love that your pup is so enriched, confident and playful! We're so glad to have helped you along your training journey!
I am getting a puppy next year so excited already planning and preparing

You're welcome, Peg! We hope that Bitsy enjoys the Snoop toy 🥰
My lab loves the toppl and bob-a-lot. He knows when we leave for a while, he gets one or both in his pen.
Your lab sounds like a lucky pup!

We love the West Paw Toppl, and it's easy to clean!
Great reviews! We use the Bob-a-lot which is Oakley’s favourite.
We bet Oakley gets so excited with he sees you bringing out the bob-a-lot!

Yes there are a lot of options. The Kong and the West Paw Toppl are made really well, so these will likely be a 1-time purchase!

Nice reviews
Thank you so much! We appreciate that!
I would like to see a review on the idig. I've already made my purchase, but especially at its higher price point, I'd love to hear your team's assessment.
Some of our team members actually have this toy, and it works wonders for the dogs who love to dig. We'll add the idig to our list of reviews!
Just picked up a Bob a lot for our 3 month old puppy. She loves that food comes out, but just hasn't figured it out just yet lol
Bob a Lots are so fun! But yes, some puppies take awhile to figure out how they work. Cheer her on and show her!

It sounds like Gigi could do either size of the wobbler. Maybe the small one to start so that it's less intimidating!

Treat Dispenser for Dogs: Umm, according to my dog. that would be me.
Too funny! Our pups would say the same thing!

I need something for him not to spray in my floor
Do you mean for potty accidents? In that case, you'll want to use an enzymatic cleaner!
