🐾🐾 Dog Training Trivia Follow Up🐾🐾
I’m from a different generation where talking to a camera is unnatural! Here I am, not done up, not rehearsed, but genuine in wanting to help people have an easier time when working with their dogs…
So, for those of you that would prefer not to listen to me talk- - - most of the answers were spot on. All the items are easily destroyed by our dogs and they don’t know the difference between which one (the rabbit is even labeled as a dog toy- for those dogs that can read) is okay to chew and which soft things are not. All of them can, and do, cause intestinal blockages potentially killing your dog, but at a minimum, making it really difficult for their bodies to function properly. We have seen it in multi-colored p**p from rope bones or random chunks of stuffing in the yard when we take on new board and train client dogs.
It can also create negative behaviors when you start retriever training. Things like keep-away, or mouthing the retrieve item can be prevented by proper toy management.
Remember, it is easier to prevent training and behavior issues than it is to correct the behavior through training later on. 💯
