Tips For Buying Golden Retriever Toys That Work For You and Your Dog
By Ewen Vile

Even before you take your pup home, it is essential that you buy Golden Retriever toys. Toys work wonders and are essential in housebreaking your new dog, whether a young pup or a rescued Golden. When you bring your new dog home, it is normal for him to be curious to his new environment and inquisitive in all that he sees. This inquisitiveness leads him to explore using nothing but his mouth.

This is why it is important to buy some chew toys even before your dog comes home. It teaches him to chew on the right things. When he starts nibbling on the carpet, give him a chew toy. When he chews on his leash, replace it with a toy. Don’t pull the object out of his mouth as this teaches competitive aggression. He may snap at you or worse, he learns to bite to defend his so-called property.

After taking your pup home, it is also good to observe his behavior with the toy. Some young pups may want to have a plush toy that he can carry along. Some dogs are aggressive chewers and would love to have rubber chews. Some enjoy having a squeaky bone along. Some dogs are just too intelligent and challenged with buster cubes. And some might just love to chew on ice cubes or some marrow bones.

Bored dogs learn to be unintentionally destructive and this is when a toy becomes a big help. It keeps him preoccupied, not minding your belongings while he enjoys playing with his toy. Not only that, toys are very useful in training your dog. It can be his reward when he behaves properly or a lure when you want him to move into a different position. Toys can also be used when you want to bond with your dog during play.

Some dog owners underestimate the benefits of toys for their new dogs. They later on regret depriving them toys when they starts chewing on anything… from the carpet to the sofas’ legs, remote control to running shoes and everything else that he sees. They hate the dog for learning destructive behavior. If only a toy was available.
