What does your doodle play with while you aren't home?

[Alla]

I'm afraid my Baila is bored when anyone isn't not around while we're at work. I want to get her some toys - but what should I get??

[Lisa, Daisy & Dexter]

Daisy goes to work with me....guess what, she does the same thing there that she does at home....sleeps. She could and does greet customers but in between that she sleeps. She has toys, and she does play but only if someone plays with her.

By all means get her toys but don't worry she is fine, what is the time span she is alone?

[Pat and Traveler]

Trav just lays on my bed and watches the driveway.  He's ALWAYS been there when I get home.  Within seconds after I get inside, he has a toy in his mouth and is racing around like a maniac. 

[Kimmy & Chewie]

Chewie doesn't play with toys when he's alone as toys are in same position when we get back. I think he sleeps most of the time. (Will have to set up a CCTV and prove this soon).

Like Adina said, if they are not bored or anxious, they will not be destructive. So we make sure that he gets plenty of exercise/play when we're home. When we're out, he sleeps.

The other reason we don't leave anything out is from fear of him choking on it. He has a lot of chew toys, but I rarely let him chew it without supervision as he can be really destructive. Even nylabones are no match for my little doodle's jawstrength. Don't even talk about plush toys...His menagerie of plush toys includes a headless tiger, legless giraffe and a mutated red something that used to be a pig. I'm doing patch work to save these toys every few days.

Thankfully, he doesn't chew on anything that isn't "HIS".

My doodles are crated when I leave for work, I am so afraid to leave anything in their crate except for a cookie or two.  And I always make sure they eat them before I leave.  Both of my doodles are such agressive chewers I don't want them destroying anything while I am not keeping an eye on them.  I believe both sleep until I come home on lunch for some play and potty time.  When I am home on the weekends they basically sleep all day unless we are out and about.
