" Hi, this is Alise McMahon for Expert Village.com. In this video series we are talking about dog toys. If you would like to find out more about my services you can visit my website at www.canineheadstart.com. So we have been talking about different types of toys here and in this short video clip we are going to be talking about different types of balls. Everyone knows dogs love playing with balls and there are so many different kinds of balls to choose from. You really want to get the ball that is going to be right for your dog. So the most standard kind of ball is a tennis ball here and this is actually a tennis ball that is made for dogs. These balls come in different sizes and colors. You can get tennis balls the size of this ball here. One thing you want to be careful with this type of ball that if your dog tends to skin it such as taking off the outside cover, that you are able to retrieve the outside cover and the hard inside piece and throw them away before your dog can ingest them. Another kind of ball that dogs like Chip playing with are these nobly balls. When you throw them and they bounce they go in any direction, dogs can pick it up, play with it by themselves or you can play fetch with it. Another kind of ball is this odd mind shaped ball that is made out of cloth, has stuffing in it and it makes a noise. Great fun to squeak it and then throw it. Jobs enjoy these balls. This is a large soft rubber ball that squeaks no matter where you press it. This ball is actually great fun if you squeeze all the air out of it and then throw it. As it is going through the air, it’s letting out the squeal and squeaking noise and dogs just go wild over it. It is also a nice soft material so it is not going to damage their teeth. This ball also comes in different sizes and different colors and it’s got the nice wedges here so that the dog can get a good grip on it. This is a smaller ball and it can be filled with stuff and thrown; just a nice small ball they can play with and these two are giggly wiggly balls and that’s what they call them. I am just showing you the two different sizes and they make strange noises so when they roll or if you are playing or kicking them, they make strange noises and dogs seem like playing with them. "
