Wobble Wag Giggle is a ball for your dog that’s claimed to be designed to mimic human laughter and joy when moving, and to entertain your dog for hours while you’re away.

Wobble Wag Giggle is claimed to be constructed of phthalate-free vinyl, which means it’s durable for indoor and outdoor use, and only requires a gentle nudge from your dog before making hilarious and engaging “play with me” sounds, without the need for batteries. In order to accomplish this, Wobble Wag Giggle is claimed to contain 3 tubes inside that let out sound when rolled or shaken, and its unique sounds, colors, and motion engage your dog’s natural instincts to play.

According to the Wobble Wag Giggle website, the toy contains 6 “clutch pockets” that allow any size dog to pick up the ball, making it ideal for turning a lonely day into a fun day and keeping dogs happy, healthy, and fit, regardless of their age.

Your dog is a member of your family, and you want to make sure they’re as happy as possible when you leave the house each day. But can you realistically expect Wobble Wag Giggle to help you accomplish this? Think about the following:

What’s the Link Between Human Laughter and Dogs?

Unless you’re in the habit of inhaling helium before you laugh, if we’re being upfront, the sounds made by the Wobble Wag Giggle ball aren’t even close to human laughter, and sound more like human speech that’s been sped up. Instead of working to keep your dog entertained, we’d be inclined to think that these sounds would become annoying to dog owners fairly quickly.

And even if these sounds did mimic laughter, we were unable to find any connection during our research to human laughing and increased physical activity for dogs, which is one of Wobble Wag Giggle’s primary claimed benefits. With this said, a 2014 study published in Current Biology does indicate that dogs’ brains process voices similarly to human brains, which is what is thought to bond our two species so closely. However, your dog is closely tuned in to the sound of your voice, and not some high-pitched sounds from a ball.

Is Wobble Wag Giggle an Effective Treatment for Your Dog’s Separation Anxiety?

Dogs are sensitive and intelligent creatures that form extremely close bonds with their human counterparts, so it’s understandable that separation anxiety can occur. However, although it’s technically possible that Wobble Wag Wiggle will help, giving them a toy will rarely solve the problem. Instead, check out this article on Tips for Overcoming Separation Anxiety.

In short, separation anxiety is a serious problem for your dog, and will almost certainly not be addressed by a ball. Your dog is upset because you’re not around, not because they’re locked in the house and can’t play, so we’d estimate that Wobble Wag Giggle wouldn’t address the root problem.

Is Wobble Wag Giggle Popular with Consumers?

Even though Wobble Wag Giggle is a fairly new product from Allstar Products Group, a popular ASOTV company that also makes the Spicy Shelf, Perfect Bacon Bowl, Chop Magic, and many more, it has already gained several reviews on Amazon.com. There, the ball has an average rating of 2 stars, with some consumers claiming that their dog loved the Wobble Wag Giggle, while others claimed their dog wouldn’t go near it.

Wobble Wag Giggle Pricing & Refund Policy

According to the Wobble Wag Giggle website, your order will also include a free “mystery gift,” although one Amazon reviewer claimed this is just a case for your sunglasses.

Can Wobble Wag Giggle Help You Stop Worrying About Your Dog During the Day?

Considering that there’s no available clinical evidence showing that toys—even ones that make sounds and claim to mimic human laughter—can help your dog be more active or reduce the symptoms of separation anxiety, it’s our opinion that the Wobble Wag Giggle will quickly become another unused toy, whether your dog loses interest in it, or the sound just becomes too annoying for you to handle.
