Adopting a new puppy can be one of the most exciting events for a person or family. The endless energy and love that the puppy will share with you makes it worth all the hard times of training. Speaking of training, playtime is one of the most important things you can do each day with your dog. Helping them build up their teeth strength and work through aggression is the reason rope toys were invented. Rope toys provide a durable way for your dog to learn how to play and they provide an activity you can do together. If you have a strong chewer or one that seems to have zoomies all the time, getting them a rope toy will help you work through training with them and give them an easy way to play as they move into adulthood. We’ve highlighted three rope toys to help you decide which one to give your good boy or girl that may be driving you a little crazy.
Your pup can enjoy all of them
Want to set up your pup with toys to play with for the foreseeable future? Then pick up the Pacific Pups Products Dog Rope Toys for Aggressive Chewers 11 Pack. As it states in the name, you’ll receive 11 rope toys of all different sizes, colors and designs to use with your dog. All of them are free of plastic and are fairly durable, but not indestructible. Rather than using the strongest adhesives and materials, Pacific Pups Products uses the safest ones for dogs. From ropes with knots, ropes with loops to ropes with tassels, this pack has just about any type of rope toy your dog will desire. They help reduce anxiety in dogs and stop them from chewing on other things in your home, such as furniture, shoes and other personal belongings. Certain dogs have been known to chew on these for hours. You’ll even get a free giraffe toy that is made entirely from rope that will most likely become your dog’s new favorite toy. These dog products were created to support the Pacific Pups Rescue, a non-profit in California that helps save dogs from kill shelters.
