How to keep your dog from chewing up toys
We thought this article was worth sharing. Animal behaviorist talks about how to keep your dog from chewing up their toys.

Some of the toys that we find the best for aggressive chewers are the Canine Genius Mike and Leo dog toys.
They serve as treat dispensing toys or just really durable toys that your dog can toss and carry.
The Premier Kibble Nibble is also fantastic for alleviating boredom. Fill it with Premier Buddy Ohs.
Dogs do destructive behavior when they are bored. Besides taking your dog for walks, you need to stimulate their mind with things that activate their mind too. The Nina Ottosson puzzle toys are truly wonderful for bringing out the natural seek and find instinct in your dog.
Lisa Moore, animal behaviorist, also suggests giving your dog chew treats. We try everything on our dog. She is our tester for the chews.
Not all chews are created equal. We follow the Whole Dog Journal for new products and try to obtain samples to try. We only carry the highest quality dog treats and Free Range dog chews- all made in the USA.
Wholesome Hide rawhides are a great chew for those times that you want to just keep your dog occupied and quiet.
The Aikiou dog bowl feeder doubles as a slow feed dog bowl and treat dispensing toy. you can fill it with kibble at meal time and also
put high quality, healthy treats inside the compartments when you would like to have some quality interactive play time with your
dog.
Its so nice outside, so take advantage of the weather and work with your friend on fetch and retrieval training,
We like the Kyjen Fetch and Retrieve training tube. It's perfect for taking out for your trail time and filling with her favorite healthy treat. The idea is so simple. you throw the tube and ask her to bring it to you. When she appropriately releases the tube reward her with a treat from inside.
