Pollywaffle Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 my two don't just maim their soft toys..they murder them with savage intent..which isn't bad for a pom and a swf! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagsalot Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) Riley would definately destroy the iqube, egg babies etc in minutes. I just know he wouldn't get the whole concept of getting the toys out without ripping it to shreads. I am tempted to try him with a nina ottosson toy again though (they are plastic). I have alot of customers though that have great success with teaching their dogs the game though - It would take time, not simply give them the toy and hope for the best.

Bradders Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Last year I drove with Tarja from Melbourne to Sydney for Christmas and I bought her an everlasting treat ball to keep her occupied in her crate. It took her 2 minutes to remove the treat from the ball, and another minute or so to eat the supposedly unchewable treat. bugger i just brought one of them hopefully it lasts a bit longer than that!

Gretel Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Oh good grief! While I was typing this Vienna was doing this! We've had the ball since Christmas and yes there are lots of other toys strewn all around, untouched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dory the Doted One Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Neither Dory nor the Cat play with toys on their own. The cat likes the rings from the milk bottle, pens and hair ties. Buy him a nice cat nip infused toy, or something with feathers dangling from it...meh... Dory, no interest at all. Unless you are going to play catch me if you can or tug. I'm actually envious of you guys who have dogs that play with toys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindainfa Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I wish mine would destroy toys, they are not interested in them at all! I have the opposite problem, I spend money on new toys hoping they will like the new one, they give it a chew for less than 5 minutes and are over it, never to be played with again! And that is both of them. Weirdos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are brilliant, but must only be played under supervision as the bloody dogs run off with the pieces :rolleyes: Oh and the smart ones also cheat Edited September 28, 2011 by grumpette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpette Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) Tuffy toys also work really well Sorry cannot workout how to imbed the videos or turn it around But when all else fails just give them the toy box Edited September 28, 2011 by grumpette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took her 2 minutes to remove the treat from the ball, and another minute or so to eat the supposedly unchewable treat. bugger i just brought one of them hopefully it lasts a bit longer than that! The ball is still one of her favourite toys - I just stuff kibble into the innermost part of the ball and she has a great time trying to get it out. That is a bit more challenging than removing the proper treats, apparently!

Weasels Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 I love how in all the pictures the dogs look so satisfied from a job well done! And grumpette's toy box looks like the most fun ever :D These are brilliant, but must only be played under supervision as the bloody dogs run off with the pieces :rolleyes: Oh and the smart ones also cheat I have a wooden one of these, the ones where they had to slide the panel across they sussed straight away, but there are other panels that require sliding a separate wheel to open them up. Those panels had them stumped...... until they decided to just turn the whole toy upside down :rolleyes: I think the best puzzle for my girl at the moment is trying to work out how to retrieve the balls she has lost under the couches.

grumpette Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 We got around the problem of the dogs tipping the games up to get all the treats at once by putting our foot on the edge of the game Yep, Zeph thinks the ball retrieval game is fun, until he starts moving the furniture or knocks the external hard drive on the computer.

Bloody ball obsessed dogs Fortunately The Fox is 17kg dripping wet, so she isn't going to be pushing aside furniture anytime soon! She just whines until we get it for her if she's really stuck :rolleyes: I like your idea about the foot tho, I'll give it a try next time Gotta thwart those cheating kelpies!

Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I have a squirrel dude for my dog that I load up with boring kibble. I can't load it up with anything exciting or hard to get, or scissor mouth just chomps open the bottom like a can opener. So we're on the second squirrel dude. The everlastfun ball is still going. I put a rope through it and it's kind of like an orbee now fetch toy. Sometimes I put a bit of kibble in it but she's way too efficient at getting stuff out. She hasn't damaged it. But a certain tan and white bull terrier I know, has put tooth holes in it. It's fine as long as nobody tugs. And I found a soft cricket ball trainer which I swear is like doggy bubble gum. I don't leave her alone with it, and she has punctured it, and it does stick to her teeth but so far she hasn't ripped it to shreds like all the tennis balls and a few baseballs she's had. And I don't let her play with footballs. She cuts the laces and then rips the whole thing to shreds after sticking her tooth through the inflation hole.
