Im in the same position Tamz-my Storm just chews everything and I worry shes not getting enough mental stimulation! That toy looks good But can it withstand a Husky?? is it durable enough i mean? its along the lines of a Kong but i know what you mean of Shiloh isnt interested-Storm loves toys that makes sounds! Let me know if you find anything else though . . . .

we have something like this and he take so much longer to eat his meal and it occupies him well. I do recommend but if your dog has food aggression then i recommend introducing with care adn regularly take and give back so he doesnt become 'owner' of the ball etc.

no huni he's fine...no agression in him at all.......jst takin people's advice given to me about trying to mentally stimualte more during day so he isnt as hyper......looks like a good one to get ;)

yeh will do hun....he has a kong but its way too easy for him now :rolleyes: fink im gunna get that one from ebay and hopefully he wont be able to destroy it...maybe the smell of peanut butter inside it will prevent him from wrecking it as he'll be more interested in the goodies ;)

here's me hoping anyway lol :lol:

2 litre coke bottle, couple of holes, treats works wonders ;) Just remember to take the lables off and tape the lid on or it could cause probs.

Yuri doesn't destroy his favorite toys, only cheap ones he doesn't like (he pulls the legs off and then spreads the stuffing around) discounted christmas toys if your pet shops have any left.

Anything he can chew,

If he likes balls, you can get them for 50p from P&H I think (Yuri won't touch them).

Rope is good, they chew it..

Can't think of anything else right now as the kiddo woke me up at 2am and I'm exausted..

Could give raw bones as well!

our kitchen knives wouldnt even cut it so ian had to get his hand saw out.....it was like the texas chainsaw masacre :unsure:

This looks good-dont think it would be mentally stimulating unless you hide it and try and get Shiloh to find it?? the ball with treats would be better then you can hide it and let him sniff it out?? Might treat Storm to a ball like that too! biggrin.gif

Hope things work out for you, tamz.

Here is the food ball we use. It was recommended by our trainer, and shows virtually no wear. It should hold up great. It's hilarious to hear the cube bumping and slamming through the house.

Here are a couple other toys we use that have held up to the abuse well.

Daughtry rarely plays with toys.

Won't chase or play with balls.

however

She LOVES superballs

the little super bouncy balls

she bats them around, picks them up chucks them in the air then

chases them as they bounce off across the floor.

great ideas - I love that cube, Myshka would play for ages with one of those (Diesel would sit & look at it, waiting for it to drop a treat!!)

Just be careful with "tennis" balls & the like, sometimes the stuffing inside after it has been ripped open can be toxic to a dog, go for the solid rubber ones
