We currently have a few favorite toys but I think his interest is dwindling. Labs are very smart dogs and require lots of exercise, which Bronx gets on a regular basis.
However, there are times I simply just can not give him my undivided attention and he needs to play with toys.
Our current favorite contender and longest lasting toy:
The Kong
Although Bronx still loves this toy and knows exactly what to do with it (it hold treats or "stuffin" inside and the dog has to chew in order to get the treats out) so its sort of boring to him now. He will still play with it, but the time it requires him to get the treats or stuffin' out is not as lengthy as it once was.
We have a few varieties of the Kong toys (bone, ball, and two of the Kong shown above) and we have some rope toys for pulling and we have some outdoor balls for fetch.
Some choices I've found on my recent search are;
The Hurley - its durable and it floats which would be a plus when taking Bronx to the pond to swim and play.
These Nylabones are suppose to be very durable and with stand heavy chewers but I think I read somewhere they are made partially of plastic. I really don't want my dog eating plastic. I will have to research this more.
This "Peek and Seek" board seems very intricate and would probably keep Bronx busy for a while but is it too advanced? My dog is smart, but that looks like something for a 5 year old! It is still an option though, so we'll keep in on the list for now.
The "Bob-a-Lot" is pretty neat. However, I can see this toy sliding all over my kitchen floor as B slaps it silly with his paws trying to get treats out...he isn't the most gentle creature when play and food is involved! Ha!
