On toys for dogs

1 Tip - on life with your dog

Do you know what toys your dog enjoys playing with? Lay out three or four different toys and watch to see which they interact with. Then add yourself into the mix for a chill game of whatever. A dog doesn't mind being silly; in fact, they seek it out. Join them in the fun.

1 Idea - on the leading edge

The toys your dog plays with reveal a great deal about their needs.

A dog who spends time chewing is calming themselves,
A dog who destroys their toy wants an adaptive toy to dissect,
A dog who seeks a toy (fetch) wants the mental stimulation of herding and organising, and
A dog who loves tug wants an interactive competition and connection.

What toy does your dog prefer?
