how does hound hoop maximize active retrievals?

1. Smaller Areas

     -the Hound Hoop's patented design enables a wide range of velocities and distances in which it will remain upright and in motion

     -a disc or other flying toy requires ample distance to allow for the time it takes to throw the disc, the dog see it, chase it, and attempt to catch it once it descends low enough

     -the Hound Hoop can achieve longer motion times in a smaller area, such as fenced in back yard or small dog park

      -and if you do have a wide open space, you can throw a Hound Hoop with the same force of a disc and watch it roll away into the distance...on certain surfaces a Hound Hoop will roll further than a disc will fly


2.  All-terrain

     -the Hound Hoop's design allows it to maintain it's momentum and velocity over most terrains

      -a ball is tried and true fetch toy, but has many limitations; a ball doesn't roll well through thick grass or sand, and will only bounce on a limited number of surfaces...this limits how long you can keep a ball in motion for a dog, and most fetch with a ball requires a dog to pickup the motionless ball off the ground

      -a Hound Hoop can roll at a steady pace over thick grass, sand, gravel, pavement, and even snow, allowing the dog to snag it while still in motion

3.  Shape

      -many dogs are highly trained specimens that drop a fetch toy on command, however, many are not...and removing a ball from a dog's mouth when they don't want to let it go is neither easy or clean

      -additionally, neither balls or discs are shaped in a way that assists a dog it catching it...in fact, in many ways, those shapes are opposite of what is easy for a dog to grasp in its jaw...and balls only work when they are small enough for the entire ball to fit in the dog's mouth, or made of a material that the dog can literally change the shape of the ball when it bites it

     -discs are even worse than balls generally...outside of catching one perfectly, a dog may have to spend minutes pawing a disc to turn an edge just so that it can pick the disc up

      -the Hound Hoop as a unique profile that does two opposite things at the same time
           
             -first, the torus shape allows the dog the same ability to grasp it, no matter which way the dog approaches  the toy...the profile is the same if the Hound Hoop is upright and rolling, or laying flat on the ground
           
             -second, while the profile makes the Hound Hoop much easier to grasp than a ball or disc, the profile also reduces the ability of the dog to get an overly strong grip on the Hound Hoop, and therefore it is much easier to get the dog to drop it

The shape of the Hound Hoop is just overall a more convenient shape for a dog's jaw and allows a rather effortless grip compared to a ball or disc.
