Surpassing Ourselves: An Enquiry Into the Nature and Implications of ExpertiseExpertise is a process of progressive problem solving in which people continuously rethink and redefine their tasks. A future 'expert society' will not be a heaven in which all problems have disappeared, but a realistic utopia in which endless problem solving will be a highly valued part of life.

Expertise is a process of progressive problem-solving in which people continuously rethink and redefine their tasks. A future 'expert society' will not be a heaven in which all problems have disappeared, but a realistic utopia in which endless problem-solving will be a highly-valued part of life.

Progressive problem solvers stay healthier, live longer, and experience the intense mental pleasure known as 'flow'. They repeatedly go beyond their well-learned procedures, avoid getting into ruts, and surpass themselves by reformulating problems at new and more complex levels. They are able to transform insoluble predicaments into soluble problems, to the benefit of everyone. Yet many of our present institutions, especially schools, penalize expertise instead of cultivating it.

Surprisingly Tough Without Being Too Hard
Style: Black chew toys for dogs
The hardness on this bone is right in the sweet spot for aggressive chewers. It’s firm and durable enough that my dog hasn’t been able to tear chunks off or destroy it quickly, but it’s not rock-hard to the point where I’d worry about teeth damage. My dog usually goes through most toys pretty fast, and this one has held up really well. After extended chewing sessions, it only shows minor wear instead of deep cracks or breakage. It keeps his attention without splintering or becoming unsafe. If you’re looking for a bone that can handle strong jaws while still being safe for aggressive chewers, this one strikes a good balance and has been a solid option so far.

Not completly indestructible but good buy
Style: Black chew toys for dogs, Style: Black chew toys for dogs
Dogs loved this. I have 5 pot mixed and they all have enjoyed this. I ordered two more after they enjoyed the first one so much. So far my dogs have not been as destructive as they have been in the past (especially on my couches). I have been home more recently so it could be a combination, but I think the bones have been helpful. Sturdier than the red Kong toys, but not as indestructible as the black kongs. As durable or more than the ruff dawg balls, and much more affordable than all of those. Also, some of my dogs are more selective on toys, but this one was an immediate hit, even with my dog that has shown now interest in ANY chew toy. We even walked through pet smart one day, and i tried to get him to play with every toy on the shelf- and he was not impressed. I even showed him the scented toys that cost $40-50 each. Happy that he took to this immediately. Keep an eye out. I heard one of my dogs hacking and coughing from the other room, but by the time I heard it and got to the room, it wasn’t clear what he was choking on. I had three of these bones in the room at the time, but there was also food and such around so hard to tell. Recommend supervising your dog with the toy in the beginning at least.

Lasts with a pitbull
Style: Black chew toys for dogs
Good for very aggressive chewers. Even large, strong jawed dogs. My 70lb pitbull loves them and they usually last 6 months before we have to replace (because she's chewed slowly down the ends) Would recomment!

Great, but didn’t last
Style: Black chew toys for dogs, Style: Black chew toys for dogs
I have a 70 pound pitbull and he absolutely loves this toy. Unfortunately, within a couple of hours this toy started to crumble. Now, there are large crumbs breaking off that he started eating, so we have to toss it. He’s only had this for two weeks.
