What are some mentally stimulating dog toys?

Hey everyone,

My one-year-old dog, BooBoo, who’s a mix of Lab and Hound, keeps wrecking things in the house when we’re gone for more than three hours. It’s really frustrating, but I think it’s because he’s bored and needs more to do. Do you have any suggestions for tough toys or homemade things that could keep him entertained and busy? Thanks a bunch!

As a dog owner, I can tell you that mentally stimulating toys are a great way to keep your furry friend engaged and active.
I’ll list some

  1. Stuffed Squeaky Toys: Dogs love the sound of squeaky toys, and they can spend hours trying to find the source of the noise.

  2. Peas in Pod Dog Toy: This toy is not only cute but also challenges your dog to remove the peas from the pod.

  3. Outward Hound Hide a Squirrel Puzzle Toy: This toy provides a fun and interactive game of hide-and-seek for your dog.

  4. Interactive Hide and Seek Sheep Dog Toy: Similar to the squirrel toy, this one uses sheep and is equally engaging.

  6. Food Dispensing & Treat Toys: These toys dispense treats or kibble as your dog plays with them, providing both mental and physical stimulation.

  7. Chewing (Rubber) Toys: These toys are great for dogs who love to chew, and they can also help to clean your dog’s teeth.
