My dog loves (2) kinds of toys. Squeeky and Canvas!!

She has several squeeky toys that have a fleece cover, cordory, or denim cover on them. She has several squueky toys shaped like an animal that talks. She has several canvas retriever rolls and a canvas retriever dog that squeeks.

There are numerous online stores, that carry over 15 types of toys!!

There is a Kong Toy website, that lists several recipes for the Kong toy.

We have several of those treat dispensing balls, the dogs like them and seem to figure them out quickly (though Goo figured out how to cheat by just bashing the ball against the wall repeatedly to knock treats out rather than rolling it around )

Goo also likes this ball:

It's made of hard plastic (the orange part), has a marble inside that rattles around, and has big rubber band-type encasing (the blue part) around it that keeps it from breaking when she crashes it around the house.

Then there's also the ever popular cheap-o soda bottles:


That's NOT something I'd let her have if I wasn't right there, though.

And if you decide you want to leave him with a chewy to gnaw on while you're gone, you might consider giving him bully sticks instead of rawhide chews... they're supposed to be more easily digestible and less likely to cause blockages, etc. They're really disgusting, and smell, but the dogs love them, and they don't pull of big chunks like they do with rawhide chews. Here's more info on them and some (this is also a retailer, but I've never bought from them): http://www.bullysticks.com/

Every dog is different and what one would love, the other may find absolutely BORING!
Try several of them, until you find the ONE!
