Having a hard time getting the product.
They are quick to send you all the " free" stuff so you can not cancel order but keep getting e mail about delay for ball.
All the "free" stuff is crap you download yourself.
Could probably find it for free with a Google search
Updated I got the product & it is the big 22" ball. It is ok but very cheap Chinese made

Bought this ball as a 36 inch, received an 8, maybe 10 inch diameter ball.
Bought this ball for 62 dollars, ended up being almost $75 with shipping..the picture on the add appeared as if the ball was at least 24-36 inches in dia. I recieved an 8-10 inch ball, footpump and a little 2 inch toy. I returned the items( paid another $15.70 for shipping. THIS IS A COMPLETE SCAM ! I STILL HAVENT GOT ANY REFUND. JUST AN EMAIL THAT OFFERS ME 8.50 IN EUROS CREDIT ON MY NEXT PURCHASE.
WHAT A JOKE.
I ORDERED IN MAY AND AS OF AUGUST 15TH, STILL NO RESOLUTION.

Valkyrie Balls DO BURST
Did everything as per conditions. Dogs initially not interested, then in the last few weeks, the rottweiler pul of 8 months decided it was AWESOME! HIS GR sister and himself played with it indoors for up to 30 mins a day . He bit through it. Destroyed. This comes a day after I ordered 2 more and now what do I do? Has not lived up to advertised hype!

Go large and be aware of your surroundings
I bought a medium sized herding ball before reading the reviews so was expecting a cheaply made, poor quality product. I didn't realise it was being shipped directly from China - I wouldn't have purchased it had I known. It took a while to arrive but the company kept me updated so no issues in that department. On receipt I was pleasantly surprised. The inflatable ball itself was of good quality, as was the canvas cover. It was well made so I wasn't at all disappointed. However, the pump was less impressive - quite basic and made of plastic. But, I have to say, it did the job. I followed the instructions to the 'T'. Pumped it so well I struggled to close the zip. I won't deny, it was fiddly, especially swapping the pump for the stopper but I was satisfied I had followed the instructions correctly. First thing I can tell you is my dogs loved it. I have a small staffy and a large lab x. In retrospect I should have bought the larger size. My staffy couldn't get her teeth into it but did suss out she could grab the zip area and throw it around - something for the makers to consider maybe? Sadly, the ball lasted an exciting 20 minutes. I have a thorny shrub in my garden and the ball rolled onto and picked up some of those small sharp thorns which went through the canvas, puncturing the inner ball. I honestly wouldn't have thought that would happen as the canvas covering seemed hard wearing. So, my honest opinion is, this is a good product but be careful where you use it. Go large if in doubt, but this was an expensive purchase for next to no gain hence 3 stars.

The ball, when fully inflated, feels good, but Inflation is a problem. The pump provided is ridiculously inadequate. I used an electric tyre pump from my car. When the inner ball appears to be fully inflated, it is smaller than the case. You need to carry on pumping. It expands like a balloon and eventually fills the case completely and feels solid.
Another inadequacy is that there is no valve, so as soon as you pull the pump out the ball begins to lose air. You need to be very quick to put the plug in.
It is also quite difficult to place the air hole correctly when inflating. It needs to be about three quarters of the way up the slot from the base of the zip and you have to manipulate the outer cover before it is tight to make sure the air hole stays in the zip slot.
However it feels more solid than the cheap one we previously bought and which got punctured after a short while. The dog gets to try it out tomorrow.
Update:
The dog got on well with it. However it began to deflate. After a few days I took the balloon out of the case, re inflated it, and put it in water to find the leak. There was a tiny pinhole, which I have blocked with boat repair compound. So far it appears to be holding, so I will try again tomorrow.

Total waste of money
Blowing it up took more time than it took to have holes in it. Literally less than 5 minutes. Don’t waste your money

DO NOT BUY
!DO NOT BUY! Inferior product, sent directly from Mainland China, very cheaply manufactured and much smaller than the marketing video. Our 5 month old Australian Cattle Dog destroyed the ball in less than 3 weeks!!

!!DO NOT BUY!
!!DO NOT BUY!! I paid over hundred dollars aud, just for the ball to not last 10minutes.
The pump it came with blew out and I couldn’t get the ball fully inflated. Even with the canvas over the ball my dog managed to pop the bladder with in 10 minutes. I reached out twice with the email address listed to contact and have been ignored both times. 30 day money back guarantee is bullshit!!
