I tried everything to keep Buddy entertained while I was busy—balls, ropes, and even puzzle toys that promised to keep him mentally stimulated. But none of them worked for long. They’d either be destroyed in days or fail to hold his attention after a few rounds of play.

I felt hopeless, thinking I’d never find something that would really work for Buddy.

That’s when I visited my friend Jen, a fellow dog owner who has a super active border collie named Max. To my surprise, Max was happily chasing a brightly colored ball that bounced unpredictably and even floated in the pool. It had Max running back and forth, totally engaged and full of energy.

I had to know more.

Jen explained it was called the BarkGrip Ball, and she’d found it after dealing with the same frustrations I was having. She said it was the perfect combination of a durable chew toy, a bouncy ball, and a water-friendly playmate, keeping Max entertained for hours.

I was intrigued but skeptical—could this really be the answer to Buddy’s boredom?

Jen insisted I try it for myself and see the difference. She told me, “It’s not like anything I’ve tried before. Max stays interested because it’s designed for indoor, outdoor, and even water play. Plus, it’s tough enough to handle all his chewing!“

The next day, I ordered one for Buddy. When it arrived, I was amazed at how easy it was to use. I simply tossed it in the backyard, and Buddy chased it with excitement. The ball bounced unpredictably, and when he took it to the pool, it floated perfectly, keeping him entertained in every environment.

I couldn’t believe it. Not only was Buddy getting the exercise he needed, but he was finally engaged and happy. No more boredom, no more chewed-up furniture, just pure fun!
