Help me spend money on Amazon ;)

[Alissa Edwards]

I want to get some more chew/play toys for Farley - he's always going after my daughter's toys (and she after his!) What are your puppy's all-time favorites?

I'm thinking bully sticks and antler split chew...what else?

He has a rope toy (likes this), nylabone keys, hide a squirrel, lanky elephant, a couple balls (doesn't care about these), kong wobbler (doesn't care, even with peanut butter or treat inside), a few nylabones (same here), honeycomb thingy, one of the raccoons you put a water bottle inside (likes this) and a Kong Moose (he loves). He's more a soft toy guy right now, but I know when his teeth start coming in he'll want more stuff to chew.

Also, when/how did you teach your dog to fetch? He just looks at me like - you get it.

[Alissa Edwards]

In particular I'd love something super high value - maybe a treat dispensing toy or something - to get him to go happily into his crate.

It sounds like Farley has lots of fun toys! Might I suggest you employ the same strategy many of us used with our toddlers - rotate the toys. Works well in most cases and saves money too! Good luck!

WhoooHoooo! My favorite pastime! Spending money on Amazon! Be sure to use the Amazon link through DK, so they get credit for it. So easy, and no extra cost.
Just as a FYI...be careful with the rope toys, my girlfriend almost list her Dobie puppy last year...strings from the rope wrapped around her intestines!
Having said that: this is a favorite of Enzo's. But she only is allowed to play with it when we are present. She actually has no interest on the rope part:

Bully sticks....be careful where they are made.

Fetch: hmmmmm, Enzo has been fetching since the day she came home. We had very small tennis balls, that we would roll, she'd scamper after it and would bring it back and drop it at our feet. It is probably her most lived pastime and a great way to tire them out. We have a Chuck It, tennis ball thrower and a tennis ball " cannon" that shoots out tennis balls for her. Outdoor, of course! ;)

Another chew alternative are Himilayan Yak bones ....Enzo loves these!

[Leslie, Yogi & Maci Bear]

I second the yak chews. Yogi loves these and they last forever

[Alissa Edwards]

Yak bones? or Yak chews?

I guess they are called chews, but they look like bones.  They last forever as long as your dog doesn't flip them in the air and they crash down on the tile floor and break in half like "She who will not be named" does!

Don't bother on the hide a squirrel, it's too easy for doodles, they are too smart and it doesn't keep them interested for long.  Yak chews rule, they chew on these forever, elk antlers are great, but only the split ones so they can get right to the good part, mine doesn't like the whole ones.  We have a wobbler treat dispenser, it looks like  a bowling pin and it dispenses treat when she hits it, that ones a stand out for sure.  These doodles are really smart so they figure most puzzles out pretty easily.  

[Alissa Edwards]

which one do you have? 

[Rebecca bratter]

I don't know what the wobbler is, but any will do, the ones that look like bowling pins, they love it.  You can adjust the treat hatch to make it harder or easier to get the treats out.  Also there is a kind of ball and I honestly can;t remember the name but they sell it on amazon, it is a small hollowed out soccer ball with an opening on either end.  My doodle pops pretty much all balls instantly and she tears the felt and scalps every tennis ball, these hollowed out balls are pretty indestructible.  

[Julie and Max]

Max loves his Starmark treat dispensing ball which you can buy on amazon. 

I bought him the tricky treat ball but he doesn't like it and I don't either, I have to slam that thing on the ground over and over to get a treat out of it, how is a dog supposed to do it?

Max also has several of the Kygen puzzle toys which he does like, but I do find them a little easy for him, at least the ones I have. He still loves to do them, and it does slow him down a bit with eating.

Chukit indoor balls are great.

Max didn't really play fetch at first, but now he goes crazy for it. I used this video and it made teaching him super easy.

Max also loves the squeaker mat toys from kygen also available on amazon.

Sounds like a great assortment.  I found a horse toy that was made out of leather.  Maslow LOVED this and I'm assuming that's because it felt good on her teeth.  (I recently read someone say online that they're against rawhide b/c it "tastes like leather and may lead to them chewing on leather furniture", but that was never an issue here! She's not chewed on our leather shoes, briefcases, etc.--just toys!) Also love the bully sticks & cow hooves but they smell awful. Their favorite "stuffed animal" is the one withOUT the stuffing.  (My favorite too since I don't have to get out my repair kit. :)

Both our dogs loved those rubber hallow balls that look like like they're made of hexagons.  They're really bouncy and light-come in many sizes.  That got Maslow's curiosity and led to her first time fetching.  Good luck!  (When in doubt, google "teach your dog to fetch" in you tube!)
