The pet toy comprises a body having a chamber that may hold attractants. A plurality of openings in the body enables the aroma of an attractant to escape. One end of the body includes a projection that frictionally engages one end of an extension in the form of an elongate spring. The opposite end of the elongate spring connects to a base. The base has a plurality of prongs that extend substantially perpendicular to the base. Each prong has a stem and an arm extending substantially perpendicular to the stem. The pet toy is mounted to a surface having gaps between layers of material, such as cardboard. The prongs are oriented to engage the surface so sufficient frictional engagement is achieved to keep the pet toy mounted when an animal makes contact with the pet toy.

A pet toy includes a ring shaped peripheral body and an interior dispenser. An interior curved engaging surface of the peripheral body engages an exterior spherical surface of the dispenser. A curvature of the interior engaging surface allows the dispenser to continuously roll or rotate, yet maintain engagement with the peripheral body when the peripheral body is displaced by contact. The dispenser is hollow thereby defining a chamber to receive treats. One or more dispensing openings are provided on the dispenser to selectively dispense treats. The openings can be sized to selectively dispense treats of various sizes and shapes. The invention further includes a method of dispensing treats from a pet toy and a combination comprising the pet toy and selected treats loaded within the chamber.

A pet toy may include a core and flexible line wound about the core.

A dog training system is disclosed herein. The dog training system generally comprises a mobile device, a collar, and a treat dispenser. The mobile device has software installed on it that is capable of wirelessly operating the various functions of the collar and the treat dispenser. In many embodiments, the software, which is usually a dog training application installed on the mobile device, is capable of operating the functions of the collar and the treat dispenser automatically when certain pre-set parameters are met. This system may allow for simple, efficient, and effective dog training without much effort on the part of a dog owner or trainer.

Pet toys configured to accept an edible or chewable treat which can be readily replaced. The pet toys have a first portion and a second portion which releasably engage to retain the edible treat with the toy until the treat is consumed or otherwise removed from the toy by the pet. When desired, the toy can be disassembled by removing the first portion from the second portion, new treats can be added to the toy, and the two portions reassembled.

A disk-like toy includes a resilient base, a flexible cover overlying the base, and a deflectable core disposed generally between the base and the cover. The base is affixed to at least one of the cover and the core.

The present invention relates to a toy ball. The toy ball has an exterior surface, an interior, a water chamber located in the ball interior, a water fill aperture that is located in the ball exterior surface and is in fluid communication with the water chamber, a first rope aperture located in the exterior surface, a second rope aperture located in the exterior surface, and a rope chamber extending from the first rope aperture through the ball interior and to the second rope aperture. A rope is placed in the rope chamber. The toy ball is particularly configured for use as a pet toy (e.g., dog toy). The water chamber allows the weight of the ball to be adjusted depending on the strength and weight of the pet.

An animal interaction device with a base, a housing, and a feeding mechanism having a rotatable platform mounted on the top surface of the base to rotate about an axis of rotation. There is a low profile drive cavity between the platform and the base and a food tray disposed on a top surface of the platform. A drive mechanism is located within the drive cavity and includes a drive mechanism with a curved rack gear engaged with the rotatable platform. There is a horizontally disposed worm drive mounted in communication with the curved rack gear to enable rotation of the rotatable platform about the axis of rotation. As the platform is rotated, the food tray moves from a first position where the tray is concealed under the housing to a second position outside of the housing, thereby allowing access to the food tray by an animal.

The pet toy includes two semi-spherical ends or caps interconnected by a curved neck. The curved neck defines a central peripheral channel that enables the curved neck to hold one or more round objects. A noise making device such as a squeaker may be sealed within the pet toy. The exterior surfaces of the semi spherical ends may have a plurality of surface irregularities to include groups of irregular protrusions and grooves disposed between the protrusions. Treats may be selectively secured to the pet toy.

Solo play dog toys including two elevated supports, a zipline releasably attached at its ends to the two elevated supports, an elastic line releasably attached at its ends to a point at or near the ends of the zipline, where the zipline and elastic line are suspended above the ground, a slider slidingly attached to the zipline and affixed to the elastic line so that the slider will slide along the zipline between, and a dog toy affixed to the center portion of the elastic line so that when the dog toy is pulled, the elastic line automatically recenters the dog toy along the zipline. In some examples, the solo play dog toy includes support rings to keep the elastic line elevated.
