Dog Toys

From what I understand, it is important to provide different types of toys for puppies so that they become exposed to differen colors, textures, and shapes.

Instead of giving them hundreds of toys at once, the trick is to introduce them slowly so that they don't get overloaded.


It is important to provide constant, new sources of stimulation to dogs so that they’re properly introduced  Constantly introducing new stimuli to the dogs acquaints them to different objects

We originally bought a Kong toy that the dogs haven’t really enjoyed, maybe because its to big for them right now. That is, until I stuck peanut butter into it...and then they couldn't be pulled away from it

My wife had some extra stuffed animals that she didnt like/want/need and the dogs have really like those.  The problem is they still pee in their cage sometimes and the stuffed toys get drenched.


We've had good luck with a toy rope that we bought at Farm and Fleet for two bucks.  Also a squeeking duck that has a rope for a tail.  And best of all, Kelly bought a butterfly that squeaks that they really have been tearing into.
