Best Dog Toys Recommended by a Dog Trainer
When it comes to dog toys, there are SO many on the market it can be overwhelming. As a dog trainer I have used a lot of toys with my own dogs and client dogs over the years. This list isn’t all inclusive, but it does list my favorites to recommend for most dogs. Look through this list of links and find the next toy for you pup!
Woof Pupsicle
The Woof Pupsicle is a rubber toy that unscrews into two pieces to allow you to fill it with their ball shaped treats or you can use their molds to make your own and freeze them. My dog’s favorite is when I mix a can of pate style dog food with Greek Yogurt and treat crumbs! With the link you can use the code MABC10 to get 10% off your order!
West Paw Toppls & Qwizls
These dense rubber toys can be filled with food and frozen, or one small and large Toppl can even be linked together with kibble inside it to be a kibble dispenser toy. With the Qwizl you can put in a bully stick on similar skinny chew and have it last longer while your dog works on it.
Classic Kong
The Kong has been around for many years and for good reason! It is a very durable rubber toy that you can fill with various dog safe foods and then frozen. This allows your dog to work on it slowly and provide them with enrichment for quite a long time.
Hol-ee Roller
This toy is fun for both fetch and tug! You can also use it as enrichment toy is your dog is not big on chewing by rolling up treats in small pieces of fleece or brown wrapping paper and stuff them in the holes of the ball. Your dog will then have to strategically pull them out to get the treats. If your dog is too rough, then you can simply use it to play fetch, tug, and kick it around for your dog to play with.
Caution: This is NOT a chew toy and can be easily destroyed if you let your dog chew on it. It is durable enough to tug hard with, but will not withstand direct and constant chewing.
