Doggy bubble blower

Hubby thinks i'm mad but was just watching an old episode of its me or the dog and she used a bubble blower with bacon flavour bubbles and it looked like the dogs were having great fun so just found one online and ordered it with bacon and peanut butter flavour bubbles:D Anyone ever used one?

I got one a few years ago, I'm afraid it was a five minute wonder with my dogs.

Hope you have lots of fun with it:D

Hmmm. These machines are a quick way to drive your dog demented, methinks!
It's all fine to let the dog chase and grab at the bubbles, but this is the stage when the problems start. Just like throwing stones into water for a dog, the dog is going after something that he can never catch, and I've seen dogs developing obsessive, frustrated behaviour from using these machines (and from throwing stones into water for them!).
They seem like a great idea until you really think it through!

I bought a tub of doggie bubbles from the pet shop for 1.99. They had a sort of a glue like consistancy so didn't burst till the dog got to them. She wasn't at all confused when they popped, just barked at me demanding I produce more :rolleyes:. They do get a bit bored with it if you over-do it though and my lady already had a thing for chasing balloons and carrying them around until they burst (no interest in trying to eat the remains and actually no interest at all after they'd been dispatched)

Thanks all, i've been alternating some of their toys cus it was starting to look like a creche and they had started to ignore a some of them and i've found that they get excited to be given a long lost toy back :rolleyes: and i want to introduce new ones sometimes as well. So i thought 5/10mins at a time would amuse them.

Never tried a bubble machine on my dog, but my dog really LOVES bubbles to the extent that I have used them to work on his recall. For example he gets bubbles as a reward for coming back in if I let him out the front garden, which means he'll often ask to stick his head out the door and just come in again as he's hoping for bubbles. He used tried to run off out the front door once or twice when he was younger, so this has been invaluable training! I just use the ordinary ones, as it's hard to get the dog variety.

My dogs weren't bothered by them even the flavoured ones but our youngest likes bubbles but only when he's in the mood so it's a hit and a miss really. We just use regular non toxic kids bubbles. He runs around chasing them good fun but not worth spending a lot of the dog version imo unless they really take to it and love to play with it regularly.
