Your cart is empty.NO LAUNCHER NEEDED! - The Nero Ball New and improved design for greater durability and strength! Improved rubber formula will hold up to the daily rigors of Police, Military, Sport and other Working Dog use. 100% Natural Rubber ball with a strong nylon rope and a non slip loop that is great for dogs that have issues outing the ball. The nylon rope prevents the ball from continuously rolling away on hard surfaces and allows to be flung further when throwing it. ** This ball is intended to be a training tool. If being used as a chew toy, remove rope. ***

It's very sturdy and probably works great in training. My dog is just not interested.

I use this for my working and sport dog. She loves this Ball we use it for training instead of treating all the time. This Ball is versatile as well we use for work and play. I like the orange and blue colors it's easy to find when u throw it. It fits in your hand perfectly and I like my dog can breath with this in her mouth.

75lb male GSD made short work of separating ball from retention lanyard/ropeLooking for similar product that is a tad more robust for an aggressive (I must destroy u) chewer

A simple concept expertly manufactured. Sturdy and durable, this toy will give your aggressive chewer hours of pleasure be it playing tug with her owner or fetching repeatedly. Made to last which is important! This toy gets two paws up from this dog owner. Hours of distraction and fun for all. A classic novelty!

My dog loved the toy. He was very motivated to train and get rewarded to play with the toy. Everything about the toy is high quality. My dog loves chewing through ropes so for us it did not last long enough but my dog still plays with the ball. I will be ordering a new soon.

This is my second Classic Nero Ball. The first one had a heavier string. Hopefully the string on this ball will last as long as the ball does. The string does get frayed where it goes through and into the ball itself. It's a great ball. It's tough, you can wing it a good distance and the colors are nice too. The bright orange and blue makes it a little easier to spot in the grass or light snow.

Just got my Nero Ball. Only used it once, but really like it. I've tried other "ball on a string" type toys, with unsatisfactory results. I'll be using it as a training reward, and my boy, who is a pretty ferocious tugger, is going to learn 2 new things with this ball. 1st, to target the ball instead of the rope, and 2nd, that it's for a little gentle tugging instead of the full throttle stuff he does otherwise. After our 1st session with the Nero Ball, he's picking up on the new rules quickly. We'll see how it does long term, but I think this is one I'll stay with.*UPDATE* Been using my Nero Ball for a month now. I'm tempted to call it the 'Hero Ball' because it's just that terrific!! For me, the key has been putting in the time to allow both myself & my dog to develop the skill to use this tool smoothly. May sound strange, but using a toy as a training reward requires practice, and each different toy configuration requires different handling. It's time well spent - we're both having a lot of fun!Kudos to the designer of this ball. Every detail has been carefully considered, from the length & material of the rope (just the right length that the dog won't step on it; material is easy on the hand while still being tough enough to withstand a few toothy grabs; the loop is the perfect size to grab for a little tug or to pass the ball through to slip-knot it onto a belt loop). The ball is also just right. The knobs make it non-slip, the rubber eliminates tennis ball fuzz concerns, and being semi-hard and hollow makes it slightly compress-able, which makes it a higher value reward than a solid ball that can't be compressed.While this ball will not work for every application or for every dog, if you carefully read & understand the information provided and don't expect it to work outside those parameters, you will be pleasantly surprised by a very well designed, well constructed tool that you can use to enhance your training or play sessions with your dog.
