How to Stuff Dog Toys

Video Transcript

" Hi, this is Elise McMahon with Expert Village.com and 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. We are talking about different types of toys and different things you can do with toys and one of the things you can do is stuff a toy. Stuffing a toy makes it a little more interesting for a dog so we’ve got some basic rubber toys here and on their own they are lots of fun. Dogs do have a lot of fun playing with them. If you’ve got a young puppy and you are trying to teach it to stay in the crate and be happy and content or even if you have an older dog and you have to leave them in a crate alone for a while or loose in the house, a great thing to do is get these toys that you can stuff. I’ve put in here dog biscuits and Kibbles so you can take your dogs regular dog food, put it right in there, take a piece of dog biscuit and stick that in there, leave them lying around the house and they are great. Dogs have a great time rolling them around, trying to get the food out. Some times people actually stick peanut butter on the top or cheese on the top so that it takes a little longer to get the food out. These toys come in all different shapes and sizes. Here is a slightly smaller one. Again, its got the biscuit in there and the dog can chew on this, break the biscuit up in smaller pieces, get the cookies out and then get the rest of the food out. These are great for diverting your dog’s attention, keeping them from being bored, gives them something to do and it makes us feel less guilty for having to leave them alone. "
