Default More than toys

Hi again. My Gizzy has a lot of toys but while I'm away at work, he doesn't play with them. I'm open to any ideas that will keep him active during the day while I'm at work (until/if I can find a sitter), like something he can climb on, run through...something? Anything? lol Any suggestions?

Have you tried bully sticks? They're made of free range bulls and my puppy just loves them. He's not even interested in his toys anymore, but he'll chew on his bully stick for hours

i agree with shadow. I do not leave anything edible for morgan when i am not home. there is always a choking hazard with bully sticks or really anything else, and if your not there they could choke and die. Most dogs just sleep when we're not home. Nothing wrong with that.

My dog, she looks at me sometimes with that look, and I think maybe deep down inside she must know exactly how I feel. But then maybe she just wants the food off my plate.

no you don't have to put away all this toys, just the ones he can eat or tear apart. I leave morgan with a squeaky toy (she's not a destroyer) and a pet stages toy for chewing. She doesn't really use either of them when i'm gone tho. they are usually in the same place i left them before i went to work.

I make the Krackle Jax and you could leave it with some Yorkie Yummie treats inside while your at work this would keep him intertained and they are a safe tiny treat they also make noise so they like them. here is a link to my thread

sorry im no help on this...I dont allow my lil man to have bones while im gone or any toys that are partially chewed up...I just have this fear that he might choke on something and if im not there...well you know. So he gets no bones and limited toys. Which I dont think he really cares cause he just sleeps until I get back home so he will be full of energy to play! lol
