There
are hundreds of doggie
toys for your beautiful snoop
dog to choose from. Doggie toys not only
add entertainment to you doggies life,
they can also intellectually challenge
your snoop dog, feature in interactive
play between both of you. Doggie toys provide
your snoop dog with appropriate objects
to chew on, thus decreasing destructive
behavior in your home. Puppies especially
are inclined to chew as they use their
mouths to examine everything!
- The things
that are usually the most attractive
to your snoop dog are often the
very things that are the most dangerous.
Dogproof your home by checking for
anything that could be ingested
by your snoop dog.
- Alter any doggie toys that are not dog proof by removing
ribbons, strings, eyes or other
parts that could be risky.
- Some doggie toys have a squeaker
inside that every snoop dog enjoys.
Your doggie may feel that he must find
and destroy the squeak-source and
could ingest it, squeaking objects
should be "supervision only"
doggie toys.
- Check
if doggie toys contain dangerous fillings
like nutshells and polystyrene beads.
LATEX toys are not dangerous for
your beautiful snoop dog, because
they are fully digestible!
- Check sizes
of doggie toys carefully. For a snoop dog
that want to carry, shake, or "kill"
the toy, it should have the size
that "prey" would be for
that size doggie (mouse-size, rabbit-size,
or duck-size).
- Avoid realistic
doggie toys. If the toy is an old shirt
or shoe, your snoop dog might not
see the difference between her doggie toy and your expensive athletic wear!
Many doggie toys should
be interactive. By focusing on a specific
task, like repeatedly returning a
toy, or playing "hide-and-seek",
your snoop dog can eject pent-up mental
energy. This greatly reduces
stress due to confinement, isolation,
or boredom.
Doggie Toys that are designed for interactive
play between you and your dog include
tug toys, rope toys with knotted
ends, very hard
rubber toys, balls,
and Frisbees. Snoop dogs love to interact
with their people, and these dog toys
provide plenty of quality playtime.
Snack balls
or Kong toys can keep a snoop dog busy for hours. As your doggie tumbles
the toy around and plays with it,
a piece of food drops out, rewarding
your snoop dog for his efforts. The
positive food reward makes these doggie toys
very
attractive to doggies.
Doggies
are delighted when you bring them
a new toy
