Ultimate Jackpot Tug Dog Toy$19.00

From Genuine Dog Gear, this toy combines a food pouch or "jackpot" toy with a braided fleece tug toy. Features two braided handles that are reinforced with nylon webbing for strength and a very strong nylon webbing food pouch. The pouch has a Velcro closure and a small pull tab for easy opening. The Ultimate Jackpot toy is 19" long including handles and the food pouch is 7" long by 3" wide.

The tug toy is made of fleece braided together with soft-touch nylon webbing so that it’s durable as well as soft to hold and appealing to the dog for tugging.

Teach your dog to love to tug to earn his reward using out Ultimate Jackpot Tug. Great for training dog sports or just for fun and exercise! Stuff the Velcro-sealed food pouch with your dog’s favorite treats (the stinkier the better) and then get him a treat out of the pouch after he tugs on it a bit. This will teach him to love to work for tugs which is an excellent motivator for training and wonderful interactive exercise.

This dog toy is designed to look as much like a regular tug toy as possible to make it a bit easier to make the transition from a food-baited tug toy to a standard tug toy. The braided portion of the toy comes in assorted color combinations; please allow us to choose for you. Machine-washable.

Note: Food-stuffable toys are intended to be interactive toys that are always used in supervised play and training. Because your dog will desperately want to eat what's inside, these toys should never be left unattended with the dog.
 



Toss ’N Treat Dog Toy $15.00

From Genuine Dog Gear, we have had the Toss 'N Treat toy for several years as it never seems to wear out. It is a definite must-have item in our opinion, combining two favorite things . . . toys and food!. The Toss 'N Treat is a flying disc with a twist—it is hollow and can be filled with tasty treats! Even dogs that don’t normally chase and fetch toys will love to bring this one back so you can open it up and share the goodies. The webbing reinforced edges and strong fabric make it tear resistant. A hidden piece of safe pvc plastic tubing helps this toy fly better and gives buoyancy for water work. This toy is great for teaching send away exercises in obedience and agility! It is 8 inches in diameter and machine washable. Available in assorted colors, please let us choose.

The Toss 'N Treat is great exercise or for training "go out" and retrieve games. Then, just got out a treat for your dog when he brings it back.  This toy flies with ease, loaded with light-weight treats, and is gentle on your dog’s mouth.

This toy is a great training toy for dogs that don't like to chase or play with toys. Simply pull open the Velcro opening, stuff the flying disc with really good treats, let the dog get a sniff, and toss it! When the dog brings the toy back you, open it up and reward him. The Toss 'N Treat also has limited buoyancy if you want to do some water training.

Note: Food-stuffable toys are intended to be interactive toys that are always used in supervised play and training. Because your dog will desperately want to eat what's inside, these toys should never be left unattended with the dog.

   




smell

SMELL Stimulation Toys

Why smell stimulation?
Dogs love to follow their noses! Dogs are extraordinary among mammals when we consider their abilities in both reception and discrimination of odorants. And, while humans possess about five million scent receptors, our large breeds evidence over 200 million more than half of the canine nose committed to olfaction.

Top smells include wild animal smells like squirrels and raccoons, different and unusual smells, and of course food scents. Anything that excites a dog’s nose can be used to train and stimulate dogs to run fast and perform his best.

Smell stimulation toys are for which dogs?
Dogs love to smell two kinds of things more than any other, food and critters. So, tug toys that use both food items or real animal furs are going to excite your dog to his best performance.

How do I use smell stimulation toys to my advantage?
Use these toys the same way you would any other tug toy, the smell adds an extra level of excitement and stimulates your dog. Just being near a smell stimulation toy may get your dog excited.

Don’t some of these scent toys incorporate more than smell stimulation?
Yes! That’s because the more exciting our dog toys are the better they can motivate your dogs to perform. The more stimulators there are in a toy, the harder your dog will work to gain access to play time with it. The best toys out there stimulate more than one sense and some stimulate three senses at once.

bite

BITE Stimulation Toys

Why bite stimulation?
Bite stimulation is so universal that it’s special for us too. How much chewing gum do you suppose Americans consume each year? We don’t need special insight to appreciate that biting down on toys is really cool for dogs. Most dog toys are chew toys or bones of some sort, because all dogs are bite stimulated. Giving your dog a toy designed specifically to be safe and appeal to his desire to bite and grip will stimulate him to perform his best for the opportunity to play with that toy.

How do I use bite stimulation toys to my advantage?
An excited game of tug can get pretty physical with these toys because the dogs enjoy the tugging so much. It’s the biting and the tugging that they enjoy, so the game is all about hanging on and pulling as hard as you can.  Trainers use the tugging game to reward the behaviors they want, to gain their dogs attention, and to get their dogs to come to them at top speed. They reward the desired behaviors with a short game of tug.

Why not just put one attractor into each toy?
For toys to be highly attractive, it is beneficial to put more than one type of stimulator or attractor in each toy. Toys can have a tassel for visual excitement, sheepskin stuffing for scent (smell) excitement, AND be stuffed to just the right firmness to appeal to most dogs' bite pressure. If one attractor is good, then three is great! The more attractive a tug toy is the harder the dog learns to work to gain access to his dog toy and earn the privilege of playing with you.

How do I play with a bite stimulation toy?
Reward your dog with a good game of tug. Just by gripping the toy with his teeth he’ll enjoy the pleasant sensation of the toy flexing between his jaws. It happens automatically! You don’t have to do anything extra, just hang onto the toy and watch your dog get happy.
