Toys are an important tool to provide in your dog's life. There is an abundance to choose from. Some are designed to last, and some are not either way however, they all provide natural stimulation for your pet. Plush toys act as prey for your dog's natural hunting instinct, squeaky toys have a similar result. Tough rubber toys allow your dogs to chew and gnaw. Interactive toys like tugs allow them to learn social challenges. Toys can be motivational and used for fast and active games. They can also be used for throwing and retrieving which burns far more energy than a walk.
