I believe our dogs need structure, love, exercise and play time. When it comes to play time, I like my dog to have times to play like a dog, but other times I want him to think. As a result, he haves various toys: balls, squeakers, laser light, and puzzles. Curley loves to fetch his squeaking balls which I buy in quantities. He also likes to destroy stuffed toys to get to the squeaker, hence I keep buying him cheap squeakers which he enjoys ripping. Thank to a friend, we discovered the fun of laser light. I point it on the floor and he hunts it (run after it). We both have fun. Last, I got him a few puzzles that require his sense of smell. I highly recommend Nina Ottosson dog puzzles. These are great ways to keep my dog stimulated. Plus, as he gets to the treats, he gets rewarded for his hard work (solve the puzzle).
Dogs may have fun fetching or chewing on a toy however they also enjoy being stimulated.
