Owning a dog or puppy is a lot of fun. However, keeping a dog or puppy entertained so that he or she doesn’t chew on furniture, clothing, or other items is an important part of training your dog. Keeping your dog amused through the use of dog toys is one of the best ways to protect not only your furniture, but to keep your dog happy.
Nearly every dog loves to play with toys. These toys can be anything from the sticks found in your backyard – to your favorite shoe. Keeping a dog amused for any length of time depends on the personality and activity level of a specific dog, but some toys are more effective than others.
Some dogs like squeaky toys. Others can’t stand them. These types of toys usually have a squeaker hidden inside that makes a noise when the dog chews or carries the toy around. In many cases, a dog has one of two options with this kind of toy; either they’ll try to annihilate it or they will treat it with tender loving care.
Many dogs also liked stuffed animals. Of course, dog owners should take care to remove the glass marbles that serve as eyes and other attachments that may cause a dog to choke. Dog owners should ask about the type of stuffing that is used for such stuffed toys, to avoid Styrofoam beads or stuffing that may cause swallowing or choking hazards.
The link to the e-book below, which covers all types of topics – from dog toys to diet and nutrition to housebreaking and disobedience, offers suggestions and tips on buying toys for your dog.
Whether you’re buying squeaky or other types of chew toys, safety of your dog should be uppermost in your mind. Understanding your dog’s personality and behaviors before you purchase such toys will go a long way toward finding the toys that will keep your dog entertained, challenged and engaged in positive behaviors and activities.
Dog ownership means providing a safe, healthy, and fun environment for your dog, no matter what breed, gender, or size.
