“Delicious” toys are the dream of any dog!
It happens that you buy the coolest toy for your dog – and she will play with it for 10 minutes at the most and give up! Familiar situation? If so, you need to urgently change something, otherwise your beloved pet will direct its energy to your shoes! In our article, we will talk about win-win toys that will keep the attention of any dog for a long time and never get bored of it!
Most of all in life, dogs love communication with the owner and … delicious treats! Food motivation for them is the strongest. That is why rewards in the form of treats are used in education, training, sports disciplines, and specialized training programs for dogs. In a word, in everything where attention, concentration and interest are required from a pet.
Why doesn’t the dog play with toys? Perhaps they do not suit her in terms of characteristics, are too monotonous, or the owner forgets to alternate them.
The same principle can be applied in games. If the dog quickly loses interest in balls, ropes, dumbbells, puzzles, etc., use a win-win option – toys for treats.
These are special models with a hole and a cavity inside that you can fill with your pet’s favorite treats. During the game, they will fall out of the toy and stimulate the dog to continue, i.e. get as many of your favorite treats as possible. It turns out that the dog is attracted not only by the toy itself, but also by the appetizing aroma, as well as the taste encouragement. She will gnaw on the toy, roll it with her paws, or even toss it up so that the treats fall out on their own. You won’t tear her away from such a game by the ears!
Dog treat toys come from a variety of manufacturers, and you’ll have plenty to choose from. These are anti-vandal models Tux, Tizzi, Qwizl made of special Zogoflex plastic from West Paw and, of course, the super popular KONG snowmen. Why are they so popular?
Kongs are:
- strong food motivation,
- excellent fetching toys,
- solution for independent games. “Snowmen” easily fly off the floor and the trajectory of their movement cannot be predicted. Pets rush with them like with their favorite balls!
And toys with treats are reliable helpers in education for all occasions. They help to accustom a puppy to a cage, relieve discomfort during teething, wean a dog from spoiling furniture and belongings of its owners, protect it from stress, develop intelligence, and just entertain.
Toys for treats have some advantages. But for them to be really useful for your pet, you need to choose the right model. When making a purchase, be sure to consider the size of the pet and the strength of its jaws. More about this in the article “”.
We wish you pleasant purchases and useful games for your dog!
