Awesome, IF you MANAGE your dog's gear correctly!!!!!!!
Lots of complaints about durability. I have a 2 year old 80# male Belgian Malinois and 6 of these disks, and all 6 are still in perfect working order. Why? Because when we play with them, I get them out of my dog gear bag, we play for an hour, I don't let him take them off away from the game, I don't play tug with them, and when we're done, they go back into the gear bag and he doesn't even see them again until we play disk again! Same with balls, tugs, bite pillows and all the rest of our dog gear. Toy management! ANY toy you let most dogs have control of will be destroyed, and they also become bored with those toys. The key to maintaining your gear in good shape and having the dog enjoy playing with it forever is YOU keeping control of the toys. And use the correct toys for the correct games. Tugs for tug games, discs for disc games, balls for ball games. Another advantage is that your play area stays clean. I don't leave anything out for my dog to play with unattended, and there isn't a single scrap of shredded up toy or a punctured ball anywhere in our play space. And lastly, it's very dangerous to leave ANY toys out for dogs to play with unattended. The ONLY thing I leave out for my dog to have control of is a single, uncooked beef femur bone or joint knuckle, and I monitor those and the second it starts chipping or splitting, it goes in the trash. I also leave a properly sized, stuffed and frozen KONG in the crate with him when he's left home alone. But when I get back home, the KONG goes back in the gear bag. TOY MANAGEMENT will change your life with your dog, and it'll save you tons of money, frustration and time spent cleaning up destroyed toys. So if you manage this particular toy correctly, it'll perform perfectly for years! One of my top 3 favorite pieces of dog gear!!!!!!
