Dog Toys To Satisfy Your Furry Friend

Dog toys that are made at Genuine Dog Gear, will help a dog's natural instinct to chew, chase, and tug. Stay away, and save money from toys that are cheap, as they can be destroyed easily and can cause more harm than good if swallowed.

While all toys, no matter what the cost, depending on time and usage, will eventually get frayed or damaged. Be sure to always check your dog's toys from time to time for safety reasons.


Chew Toys

Dogs love to chew, especially when they're puppies in their teething period. Chewing actually relieves the soreness in their gum and aides in the teething itself. By having chew toys available, your puppy's chewing urges will be satisfied and will not be driven to chew on anything else like your shoes, furniture, rugs, and what have you.

Train your puppy at an early age to chew on chew toys.Constructive chewing will naturally be healthier for your puppy, and will prevent some forms of behavioral problems.

Chase Toys

Dogs such as the Wire Fox Terrier or the Border Terrier were fist used to chase rabbits, badgers, or other small animals. Today most of the terrier breed are seldom used for hunting and are now considered as a companion pet.

Their natural instinct to chase and or hunt must still be satisfied, and getting a dog toy that helps this natural drive will make for a happier dog.

There are dog toys made for this purpose that are made with a sense stimulator such as rabbit fur, that are used interactively with you or another dog.Chase toys are a great way to provide daily exercise, form that ever important bond between you and your pet and satisfy your dog's natural urges.

Tug Toys

Have you ever tried to play "Keep Away" or "Tug of War" with your dog? Does your dog like to play with you especially if there is a tug toy involved? Of course!

Almost all dogs love that feeling that pulling and tugging creates. It's a game that stimulates the senses, and a game that can be disguised as a training session, stress free.

when using a tug toy as a training aide, your dog will think, "Wow, I like playing this game, I love that toy, but what do I need to do to get it"?As I've said before, and cannot stress enough, you must have fun while training to have your dog in the right frame of mind.Your dog will be eager to learn and most important, his attention will be focused on you.

Always end the game on your terms before your dog calls it quits.

Keep possession of the toy when the game is over to show your dog that you're the one in control of the toy, the game, and him.

When you find a dog toy that your dog likes,it's best to get a few of them, just in case it gets lost, gets frayed, or worst yet, discontinued.

When you play with your dog, always be nice and be happy, like a mirror, your dog will be nice and be happy too.

HAVE FUN!!!
