Inappropriate Dog Toys
I was just surfing the web and came across a forum where someone had submitted a question. She said she had two small dogs and one was a puppy. They both liked to play with any socks that were laying around. Her question was, “How do you make dog toys out of socks?” Several people responded with different ideas for her.
In my own personal opinion, the best answer would be: Do not make dog toys out of household items you do not want your dog to chew on. Making dog toys out of socks or old shoes will give your puppy the idea that all socks and shoes are fair game. Puppies will not distinguish the difference between your good shoes and socks and the shoes and/or socks they have been given to play with. Should you choose to go this route, and your dog happens to find a good pair of shoes to chew up, roll up a newspaper and swat yourself on the head three times for letting your dog have access to them.
The best dog toys are dog toys. There are tough rubber dog toys that are much better for your puppy to chew on than socks or shoes. When you catch your puppy chewing on something inappropriate, take the item away from him and give him one of his own toys as a diversion.
