Review: "My puppy a lot of energy and this helps him work it off. He loves chasing it around and even one of my cats loves to play with it. It's nice that it "sleeps" when not used for a time to save the battery, just bump it and it goes again. Easy to charge, just pull the button out and plug it in. The light help get and keep their attention. Would definitely recommend for anyone with a dog." - Benjamin T. Kelley

However much you play with your dog, the dog probrably still gets bored when you're not around. Interactive toys are a good thing.

Not sure if it's a good idea especially for a puppy. Pups chew and these balls have internal parts which could be dangerous. Never leave a pup or dog alone with this item.

    Instead of spending a fortune on this product, you can just write on normal paper (or a little white board)... the steps are still the same. You scan it with your phone. Done.

    As a parent, this would have been great for my high-functioning but socially challenged daughter. Once she was taught about emotions her social anxiety decreased. However, there was a year or so that non-verbal signals like this would have been helpful. Yes, the people in her life would have to be educated to use this "tool".
