What Is a Good Dog Toy

Toys are not just entertainment for your dog; they provide an outlet for energy, keep her occupied when you aren’t around, and aid in her understanding of social behavior.

Toys for puppies need to be simple and you can make some at home. Take a tennis ball and punch holes on two sides, feed a cord through holes and knot them on the outside so that there is one long piece of cord on one side. This makes the ball bounce all over and the puppy will love chasing it and playing with the rope also. Or you can take a piece of rope and tie it in two or three knots. Just don’t leave your shoes out because a puppy will love to chew them up.

If you want to purchase a toy Kong has toys for all ages of dogs as well as other brands, just be sure they are made for puppies who teeth aren’t as strong. Switch out toys for puppies so they don’t get bored with what you have. You can get fleece toys because they love them soft and warm. However be sure and watch that the stuffing doesn’t come out. Also watch toys that make noise that the noise maker isn’t apt to come out and the puppy swallow it.
