{Dogs|Canines|Pet dogs|Pets} are {just|simply} {dogs|canines|pet dogs|pets} right? If they still {lived in|resided in} the wild and weren't domesticated they {wouldn't|would not} have {dog|canine|pet dog|pet} toys would they?

Well {actually|really|in fact} it's {because|since|due to the fact that} they are domesticated that our {dogs|canines|pet dogs|pets} {need|require} toys to {replace|change} activities or {replicate|duplicate|reproduce} in part, the {lifestyle|way of life} they would have experienced as wild animals.

The toys we {provide|offer|supply} our {dogs|canines|pet dogs|pets} {meet|satisfy|fulfill} these {needs|requirements} and {help|assist} our {dogs|canines|pet dogs|pets} {remain|stay} {fit|in shape|healthy}, well {adjusted|changed} animals.

I like to categorise {dog|canine|pet dog|pet}'s toys into {four|4} types:

1. Chewing Toys

{Dogs|Canines|Pet dogs|Pets} {need|require} to chew, for {a number of|a variety of} {different|various} {reasons|factors} throughout their life {stages|phases}. So, {give|provide|offer} your {dogs|canines|pet dogs|pets} {items|products} they are {allowed|enabled|permitted} to chew, and {don't|do not} leave them to {pick on|badger|tease} your {prized|valued|treasured} {possessions|belongings|ownerships}.

{Puppies|Young puppies|Pups} chew in order to {ease|relieve|alleviate|reduce} {tension|stress}, {soothe|relieve} their gums and to {loosen|loosen up} {puppy|young puppy|pup} teeth to {make way|give way} for their {new|brand-new} teeth.

Adult {dogs|canines|pet dogs|pets} Chew to {help|assist} {maintain|preserve|keep} their jaw muscles, {dogs|canines|pet dogs|pets} {also|likewise} {use|utilize} chewing to pass time when {on their own|by themselves} or {ease|relieve|alleviate|reduce} {boredom|monotony|dullness}.

In senior {dogs|canines|pet dogs|pets} chewing the {right|best|ideal} things {as well as|in addition to|along with} {helping|assisting} {ease|relieve|alleviate|reduce} {boredom|monotony|dullness}, {also|likewise} {helps|assists} to {avoid|prevent} gum {disease|illness} and tooth {problems|issues}

2. Activity Toys

Activity {dog|canine|pet dog|pet} toys {help|assist} to keep domestic {dogs|canines|pet dogs|pets} fit and in addition to a healthy {diet|diet plan} {help|assistance|aid} to keep our {pet|animal|family pet} {dogs|canines}, in {good|great|excellent} shape, {burning off|burning} calories that would otherwise be unused. {Used|Utilized} {wisely|carefully|sensibly} activity toys will {also|likewise} {help|assist} to {strengthen|enhance|reinforce} {a dog|a canine|a pet dog|a pet}'s muscles, which {along with|together with|in addition to} {diet|diet plan}, {reinforces|strengthens|enhances} {good|great|excellent} bone structure.

{Regular|Routine} interaction with {constructive|useful|positive} play will {help|assist} {build|develop|construct} {good|great|excellent} relations with your {dog|canine|pet dog|pet} these activities can be {used|utilized} to {encourage|motivate} {good|great|excellent} behaviour in your {pet|animal|family pet}. {For example|For instance} the throwing of {a favourite|a preferred} retrieval toy can be {used|utilized} as {a reward|a benefit} for sitting or {staying|remaining}.

The {choice|option} of activity {dog|canine|pet dog|pet} toys {these days|nowadays} is {huge|big|substantial}, with the {traditional|conventional|standard} Balls, Frisbees and {Fetch|Bring} toys {coming in|being available in|can be found in} {a bewildering|an overwelming} {number of|variety of} {varieties|ranges} and {materials|products}.

When not sleeping, {puppies|young puppies|pups} go through {periods|durations} in the day when they have {a huge|a big|a substantial} {amount|quantity} of energy to burn. Care {should|ought to|must|needs to} be taken not to over {exercise|workout}, {but|however} {plenty of|lots of|a lot of} {varied|different|diverse} play will {help|assist} {build|develop|construct} bonds with owners and {avoid|prevent} {destructive|damaging|harmful|devastating} {tendencies|propensities} {showing|revealing}.

Adult {dogs|canines|pet dogs|pets} {need|require} {exercise|workout} to keep muscles, bones and organs {working in|operating in} {top|leading} order. The {right amount|correct amount} of active play will {also|likewise} {help|assist} to {avoid|prevent} {periods|durations} of {boredom|monotony|dullness} in {a normal|a typical|a regular} healthy {adult|grownup}. This will {help|assist} to {reduce|decrease|minimize|lower} the {risk|danger|threat} of {destructive|damaging|harmful|devastating} or attention {seeking|looking for} {tendencies|propensities} manifesting themselves in your {pet|animal|family pet}.

{Regular|Routine} {but|however} {reduced|decreased|minimized|lowered} {amounts|quantities} of activity will {help|assist} {maintain|preserve|keep} healthy joints in a senior {dog|canine|pet dog|pet}.

3. Reward Toys

As wild animals it would be {rare|unusual|uncommon} for {dogs|canines|pet dogs|pets} to {spend time|hang out|hang around} on their alone, {but|however} as domestic {pets|animals|family pets} most will {spend time|hang out|hang around} {on their own|by themselves} at some {stage|phase}. {Because|Since|Due to the fact that} {boredom|monotony|dullness} can {lead to|result in|cause} {destructive|damaging|harmful|devastating} behaviour, it is {essential|important|vital|necessary} that you {provide|offer|supply} your {dog|canine|pet dog|pet} with {appropriate|suitable|proper} toys that {fight|combat|battle} {monotony|dullness|uniformity} and {offer|deal} {enticing|attracting|luring} play, {sometimes|in some cases|often} this {may|might} be {met with|consulted with|met} {a reward|a benefit} such as {carefully|thoroughly} {hidden|concealed} {treat|reward}.

Apart from having chew toys {available|offered|readily available}, your {puppy|young puppy|pup} will {react|respond} well to having toys that reward him by {reacting|responding} with {sound|noise}, {movement|motion} or {giving|providing|offering} {treats|deals with}. This is another {way|method} of {avoiding|preventing} {destructive|damaging|harmful|devastating} behaviour.

{Many|Numerous|Lots of} adult {dogs|canines|pet dogs|pets} {respond|react} well to having a toy that will {help|assist} them to {stay|remain} alert or be challenged when left {on their own|by themselves}.

4. {Soothing|Relaxing|Calming} or {Comfort|Convenience} Toys

These toys are not {necessarily|always} {needed|required} by all {types of|kinds of} {dogs|canines|pet dogs|pets}, {however|nevertheless} there {may|might} be {many times|often times|lot of times|sometimes} in {a dog|a canine|a pet dog|a pet}'s life when the {need|requirement} to {soothe|relieve} and {calm|soothe|relax} is {required|needed}. Travel, {trips|journeys} to the {vet|veterinarian}, {illness|disease|health problem} or {noisy|loud} {periods|durations} are {all times|perpetuity} when {aid|help} in {calming|soothing|relaxing} and {soothing|relaxing|calming} {could|might} be {beneficial|advantageous|useful|helpful}.

{A comfort|A convenience} toy can {ease|relieve|alleviate|reduce} the separation from {a mother|a mom} or smooth the {transition|shift} from being a litter member

In addition {providing|offering|supplying} {comfort|convenience} toys are {usually|typically|normally|generally} {tough|difficult|hard} {enough|sufficient|adequate} to {allow|enable|permit} adult {dogs|canines|pet dogs|pets} to {carry|bring} them around, {often|frequently|typically} adult or {maturing|developing|growing} {dogs|canines|pet dogs|pets} will {occupy|inhabit} themselves with a mock kill {game|video game}.
