Balls
No matter if you want to teach your dog to catch or just play fetch and tug, these toys suit all breeds of canines. Rubber ball toys on a rope make excellent training tools while providing rewarding play sessions for both owners and canines alike.
These toys are constructed to withstand rough play and work perfectly with the company’s launchers. Plus, there is something suitable for every pup: sizes range from small to extra-large!
Tennis balls can be irresistible to some dogs. If this is the case for yours, try one of these alternative balls designed to withstand chewers instead.
Chew Toys
Dogs need to chew, but destructive chewing can lead to serious health risks for themselves and their owners. Chew toys offer an effective solution, helping channel this natural instinct in more appropriate ways while serving as training and play aids for both dogs and humans alike.
Look for toys with plenty of “give” that can withstand teeth damage without giving in to tugging or fetch. Nylon and rubber chew toys are popular choices; rope-weave chew toys make great tug-and-thrust toys; while hollow options may even allow you to fill them up with food (try freezing the toy first!).
Be sure the chew toy you give your dog isn’t too tough a task for him or her to chew through – using either the thumb test or the hammer test, you can test its hardness and ensure your furry companion can enjoy chewing safely!
Plush Toys
No one likes spending over $20 on a dog toy only to watch their shark-disguised-as-dog destroy it within two minutes and 38 seconds. Carboard water jugs, stuffed animals and even old shoes make great chew toys for some dogs.
For effective training sessions, the ideal stuffed toys have a smooth surface. These toys can be chased around by power chewers without being damaged by their teeth.
Plush toys can also be customized with logos, messages or intricate designs through embroidery or printing – adding more value and keeping play sessions longer by providing something novel and interesting for dogs to engage with.
Puzzle Toys
Puzzle toys can be an excellent way to keep dogs mentally stimulated during training sessions, particularly if you’re working on advanced obedience or agility exercises that require them to spend significant amounts of time apart from you.
Food-dispensing puzzle toys provide a fun alternative to standard bowls for feeding pets. Filled with either kibble or treats, as the pet pushes it around on the floor one piece of food will dispense out.
Attractive toys can also help curb fast eaters and help avoid weight gain. You can use these as rewards for desirable behaviors like self-play or helping prevent destructive behaviour such as chewing furniture.
Squeaky Toys
Squeaky toys can pique dogs’ interest and offer hours of amusement. Additionally, they stimulate their predatory instincts, rewarding them for killing it with an exciting high-pitched squeak that mimics prey animal noises.
These toys can also be used for training, encouraging pups to use their mouths in other constructive ways than chewing. As many squeaky toys contain small parts that could be consumed, it is wise to inspect these toys regularly for wear and tear and replace any damaged toys as soon as they appear.
Squeaky toys are an effective way to amuse and engage your dog for hours on end! Plus, they can also stimulate mental development while stimulating physical agility.
Treat Dispensers
Treat dispensers like this fun rubber hopper are great tools to keep dogs engaged and stimulated mentally, as well as rewarding training sessions.
These games connect dogs with their natural instincts of hunting and foraging for food while developing problem-solving skills, as well as helping manage pet weight by forcing your pup to work for their food.
As with any toy, treat dispensing toys must be introduced gradually and in a controlled environment to avoid overexcitement or stress. For optimal results, incorporate one into your regular playtime routine for maximum impact.
