Dogs get bored. It is the biggest reason we misbehave. Dogs need toys and fun things to do. I'll chew on a dog toy or your shoe. You can choose. Doesn't make much difference to me. If I am really bored I might start barking continuously. The sound of my barking is pretty entertaining. I dunno. Maybe I'll just chew on the coach for awhile and chase the cats around for fun. Dog toys help keep me out of trouble. Some dog toys I really like are...
The dog treat cube. You place multiple treats in it, then I try to get them out! That is way too much fun! I could spend hours on that. You can make a homemade dog treat cube by drilling a hole in an old tennis ball. Just add treats, and Ta Daa! It's like magic. How about a game of tug of war with a recycled old water hose? Take a sock and stuff it with paper. I would love to drag that around the house! You can even tie old socks together for a fun tug of war toy. See? I'm not a materialistic dog.
