What will my dog like about the sound in this toy?
All dogs have a natural prey drive (the hunting instinct) which is often triggered by a sound. To a dog, certain sounds can indicate the immediate presence of something ‘alive.’ Most dogs will be very motivated to, shall we say… ‘silence’ the sound! (this is great fun for dogs and is much kinder than real prey!). Dogtronics sound toys give dogs a natural incentive to engage (and continue to engage) with a toy.

How is the sound in this toy activated?
Remove all packaging from rumble bumps, including the pull-tab. The pull-tab activates the sound is touch-activated, which means that the sound will begin if the ball is shaken or thrown.

Is there an off switch?
No. But the sound lasts only as long as it is in being played with or is touched. The sound ceases almost immediately once the toy is at rest.

What is the clear plastic thing I see through the opening on the ball?
This is the sound module that also secures the non-replaceable batteries.

Why are the batteries non-replaceable?
By design and specifically for the safety of your pet, the module is not removable and the batteries cannot be replaced.

Can put treats in the little opening?
