Appropriate chew toys are fantastic objects to keep your pet entertained and engaged in appropriate chewing activity. It allows you as a pet guardian to positively reinforce which objects are okay to mouth, and when necessary, have an item to "trade out" when your dog is focusing on test-tasting forbidden items. Since we'd prefer to keep the Prada's pristine and the Jimmy Choo's unchewed, this week will focus on fun toys for dogs of all dispositions.
The Tug-a-Jug is a unique and brilliant hybrid -- both in form and function. It resembles things you'd find around the home and then combined in an innovative manner. Take a Nalgene water bottle, a Downy dryer ball and a small length of rope and there you have it. Quite simply, by touching the toy, seeing, hearing, smelling and tasting the treats or kibble the Tug-a-Jug dispenses, interacting with the toy becomes self-rewarding. It is excellent for food-motivated dogs and can be used to encourage proper chewing with high-value treats, or simply incorporate into obedience training and feeding meals to add novelty to your dog's routine.
It comes in small and medium/large sizes that stand up to the strongest of chewers. Available at www.busybuddytoys.com.

This is a great toy! my dog loves to play and the added interest with the treats means play time is longer and more enjoyable!
dogs love tasks, this toy is like a little job they can work at and feel more a part of the family.
