I have now had to resort to hiding the Chuck-It on top of the refrigerator...Tyke has now learned to open the cabinet door where we once kept it! :? It is a real lifesaver. Yesterday, my uncle had to have heart surgery, so with Mom and I both gone, Tyke had to spend all day at the groomer's, and had energy to BURN when we got her home! (unfortunately, I DIDN'T!) However, after about twenty long "fetches" with the Chuck-It, Tyke was finally tuckered out!
