Boomer Ball Empty Boomer Ball

Post by Aimeelc Sat May 20 2017, 12:49

Hi guys and girls. Ive recently bought dakota a boomer ball as she is in season so im trying to keep her mind off of it. At first she wasnt intrested but now she will chase it and bark. If me or my dad kick it or pick it up she will really franticly bark and try to get at it. Is she playing? Warning us not to touch it? She has never been like this with any of her other toys.

They can be quite possessive over toys dakota sounds like shes just excited and playing get involved in play if you don't want her obsessing over a certain toy after a period of time take the toy away and give it back when shes calm.

Aimee, I think I can reassure you that Dakota is not being aggressive or protective over the boomer. Katy loves to play but I had never seen her go so mad until I bought her a boomer. The noise is unbelievable, barking whimpering when it gets stuck & serious licking. Just wait til Liz comes on she knows the racket they produce Laughing

Same here. Gus goes mental for his boomer ball. We have to limit his time playing with it as he was getting so tired he would just lie on his side to have a wee Laughing

Excuse me, Jen. Are you implying that my dogs are in any way shape or form noisy? rolling on the floor This isn't with boomer ball but gives you an idea of the noise they can make playing



Different toys can get different dogs excited. Some dogs do bark, it's like saying 'come on, get on with it!!!' or just 'oh wow!!!'. Boomer ball is something else - my guess is that they can't actually pick it up that makes it so exciting. Chaos is obsessive about it and some of the dogs in the rescue centre are the same.

So what I would say is to work on a really solid 'leave it' command (taught by offering something really yummy in exchange for something initially of low value then working up) so that you can take boomer ball away when you want to. And I would also ration it, not only to limit the amount of barking but also do avoid injury. Chaos will carry on to the point of making his nose bleed if we don't take it away Rolling Eyes

No Liz I wouldn't dream of implying that Laughing I can't believe the racket Katy makes on her own Surprised
I agree limiting the time Dakota plays with it is good as they get overexcited & the ball does gets rough, Katy gets a sore tongue from all the licking Laughing

I think part of it is the frustration that they can't pick it up, my oh asks Katy to fetch it & that makes her more determined to get it Rolling Eyes But I must say her footwork is amazing & I think she could play for England!!!!!

Gus definitely directs the ball away from me, especially when he knows it's time to put the ball away.

I bought dakota a 8" as it says the ball needs to be bigger then them. She will be a year old at the end of the month but by comparison id say even full grown it will do her. Maybe a 6" for hank? Then when he gets bigger move to a 8"? Here is a picture for you

Dodger has a bigger one for the garden and a smaller one ( though big enough not to fit in his mouth ) for indoors.
He goes mad over both and knows what time he'll be getting them too! He won't be fobbed off with anything else! We do have to limit his sessions to about 10 minutes as he'd keep going till he dropped, and we wouldn't have much garden or furniture left intact!

Just got my boy one of these after reading the comments and he absolutley loves it, even more than his babble ball. He wouldn't even leave it for one of his favourite treats!

I got him the 8" ball and even fully grown he'll never get his little chops around it, he'll be a year old next week.

Thanks Paris, he was so hot in those pictures. So funny to watch him, spitting, growling and snarling at it, his little tail swishing as fast as it can go! We've definitely got a boomer ball fan here thumbs up

Look forward to seeing pics of Hank Big Grin

The nose flip?! I think pup is a way off that, but he's a quick learner, he's already learnt the bite it, paw it and hump it. Other tricks in his reportoire include how to get it stuck under a car, how to wind up a mastiff and how to persistently bang it against the fence, I'm sure he'll be nose flipping in no time  Laughing

Hugo, you've missed one - 'how to get it stuck behind a particularly important plant that you then have to chew so you can get to your boomer ball'. I used to have some blackcurrant bushes... Rolling Eyes
