Squirrel Dog Toy

Am I wrong to purchase "A squirrel dog toy Hide"? My shepherd is about 36 pounds, 7 months and she is able to get out awfully fast. The first day I gave it little squirrel's head and he retired in less than 10 seconds each. I bought her a jumbo, because it will push a little more. But I thought it would take some time because she has to "work" for the squirrels. However, she has them out really fast, I'm beginning to think I've become a great???

Sounds like this game was too easy for your GSD. So now, take every squirrel and hide under the pillows on the couch and tell your dog to find them. My GSD loves games like this. Called to hide and seek.

I think you should just except that your dog is smart!

It is just smart. My border collie has all the squirrels and made tails in a few short seconds. I do not think size would matter, it would have been anyway. Sorry to disappoint you, but I really have not had success with so-called "smart toys for dogs.

I'm on my second set of mask a squirrel. I never thought about the amount of time it takes to get the squirrels. My dog catcher and he will shake like crazy sending flying squirrels in the room - then the fun begins, as it pursues and tries to disembowel its prey. She chewed the newspaper before the first round of squirrels.

What I do to make it more difficult to "unpack" is to take small toys and other commands in the newspaper. I can get 7-9 toys packed inside. It needs more time to get them out of holes and shake. Is a good toy. Use your creativity and offer games that you can enjoy both. Enjoy.

I do not have squirrels, but the bees in a hive.

She understood how to get the bees in the hive the right too far. We got it for 3 years. Bees are very dirty and no more squeek, but my Border Collie still loves them. However, it is not a toy that I left on the ground that she plays with herself. It was "special", given to her at night while we watch TV and I actually play with it with them. The game goes something like this, with variations:

It takes the bees, and bring me one. We play "fetch" in the house with one. Sometimes, when she returns, I say "A bee! Where two bees? And she brought me another. I would create a "A bee", I want the other "Two bees ".... then I throw at a time. Later we did "A bee, two bees. Where is 3 bees? Then, after more than look ... "A bee. Two bees. Three bees. Where is the bee house?" Then I stuff the bees in the hive back and throw ....

For Christmas we got a toy his fellows. The rabbits in a magic hat. It is stored on a shelf until the day before, the same game.
