Dog chew toys that don't get them in trouble: Add your dog's favorites! (Thanks, daisee)
1. Fun stuff
- We leave empty cardboard boxes for the dogs to chew up. Also these loofah bones (cleans their teeth while they rip them apart) and TONS of cat toys (with catnip). (from veritableqndry)
2. Hard-to-destroy stuff
-At dollar tree they carry "milkbone" toys... she beats the hell out of them and still they hold up. (not to mention their only a buck if they destroy them) (from wakethewicked2)
- I've had good luck with these -- the avatar dog has destroyed everything but this kind. They come in different sizes and shapes and you can put treats inside for them to dig out: http://www.petmountain.com/produc...-kong.html . I get mine at a local farm store, but I'm sure you could get them at places like Pets Mart if you don't want to buy online. (from callpocket)
- Here are a couple that have survived Sophie so far:

- Here are a couple that have survived Sophie so far:
- Busy Buddy bouncy bone - We gave up on the rawhide inserts. She rips those out in seconds but likes the toy without them anyhow and cannot kill it.)
- Everlasting treat ball -Again she pulls out the expensive inserts right off the bat...but she likes bouncing the toy. You can also hide dog kibble in the middle for the dog to try to get out, which entertains him for awhile. She hasn't managed to rip this one at all yet even though it feels soft and flexible.
- Jolly Ball: - Ours is bigger than the one at this link. It's hysterical to see her stick her snout in the hole and wave the ball in the air. It's bigger than her head. She runs around the house with it on her snout, growling and acting like a maniac. I don't know why she can't chew it up, but she can't.
- Then there are big Nylabones, which she can kill eventually. But they take a long time to die. (from olu)

Thanks for any help.
BTW - no onions isn't just so doggy breath isn't bad - onions are poisonous to dogs.

This is the hole my dog made in the side of my house. I think it might win him a gold medal in the BAD DOG olympics.
Good thing he is so cute!!
We have a winner
You should rent that dog out for demo...

How long did that take him?!?

Poor guy has a strong noise phobia and apparently the nearby military base was doing some explosives training and he freaked!!! Now he goes to doggie day care when I go to work. Since day care is closed this week, he is currently lying on the floor right beside me.
He really is a good dog with the exception of when he's scared. Olu's and skip's dogs really deserve recognition for their sustained efforts to destroy - apparently just for the sheer joy of it........

Unfortunately, I got special permission to bring him this week (only 3 work days) because it is so quiet around here. On a normal week, I'm coming and going to lots of meetings so it wouldn't work out. But I sure would like to save the $115/week daycare costs - not paying this week helps out with all the Christmas bills!!!.
Peachyum - I don't think he could go through the windows - I think they are safety glass. He had gone nuts a few days earlier (I now know they were also doing the explosives testing that day) and he did try to go through the windows. If you look at the picture you can see a spot where the plaster is gone near the window. That is where the curtain rods were. He lunged at the windows (there were paw prints and dog drool on the panes), scratched at the frames, and literally pulled the curtain rods out of the wall. The door to the right is a solid vinyl door and there were some scratches on it so he tried there too. It was a bit frightening to know that it was actually easier to go through the flimsy wall than through the door or windows!!! Cheap 80s construction!!!
