| Toys that squeek Gidget completely ignores toys that don't make a sound. She doesn't pay any attention to toys that are meant to be chased or tugged. I have a couple of small rubber balls that I ordered from Chewy but the squeak is gone. Any suggestions? |

| Our three destroy squeakers in record time! Through experimentation, we have found "chase n chomp" toys last the longest by far. They have several varieties...Gus's current favorites are the barbells, but he has had their larger ball-in-ball for almost two years without disabling the squeaker, and still will play with it if the mood strikes him. I usually purchase them at Marshalls/TJ Maxx for their lower prices, but they are also available on Amazon. We buy several when they have them in stock to make sure we have a supply. During a recent vacation we purchased a bag of replacement squeakers. They all love the Kong duckies which have velcro closures on their backs to allow insertion of a replacement when their squeaker fails. The squeakers usually only lasted for a day, but they all had great fun fetching the duck, then bringing it to us for "squeaker surgery" when it stopped working. Lol

| Cody loves any and all squeaky toys and he does not destroy them. He comes on the back of the sofa behind my head chomps down on the squeaker deafening me lol. My girls de-squeaked every toy in 10 minutes, skinned any plush toys, balls were the only toy that survived. Cody's craze now are Zaney balls shaped more like a donut without a hole. He'll chomp and fling this ball all over the house. Little toy with huge noise lol,

| They are great toys, google zaney balls, I see that ebay has them, I believe I got mine from amazon. ebay has the same as I have, they sell 6 balls for $13 or $14, same price I paid, you will see the picture of the 6 balls, all have silly faces on them. If you order them please let me know how your baby likes them.

Matese...............another failure............. ...........He LOVED the crinkle of the bag they all came in, but as far as the toys.......not so much. I think he just doesn't get it.......or its a mouth feel. He loves soft furry toys. I feel like a failure of a mom, lol....OH well at least he does play with something, but I have to play with him. He doesn't understand he has to toss it for himself. He loves his cat toys that are mice and make noise even when the noise makers stop working. Go figure, maybe he's actually a cat in disguise.

Cody is a rescue, a surrender, he was not an abused dog. He was gotten for a 8 year old little girl. He had no toys because the little girl was to be his only form of entertainment. His surrender is to long of a story lol, he had a serious medical issue, the mon didn't have the finical means to keep up with getting him healthy so gave him up. Cody was 2 1/2 years old when I got him, just a baby. Cody needed major surgery to correct his medical issue. The day after I got him off we went to PetSmart and PetSupplies Plus, not knowing what kind of toys he liked I bought him one of everything, different kind of balls, latex squeaky toys, furry toys with squeaks. I was all pumped up over these toys. I come home and take one toy at a time out to what he would like the best. Well he liked nothing, not even the balls, now what dog does not like balls. At this time I didn't know anything about his back ground. Every day I would take his toys and tease him with them trying to get him interested in something,no reactions. 3 weeks later the rescue team that had picked him up and delivered him to my vet contacted me via FB. The prev. owner had requested of the rescue team who ever adopted him could they send them pics of Cody and how he was doing and gave her phone #. I called her, it was the grandmother, she was the one that bought the little girl the puppy. Her daughter was to ashamed to speak to me. I got Cody's entire back ground from her medical and social which was helpful for my vet and me. I found out the dog never had toys and the reason why. It took many many months to get him to play with a toy, and like you, he only played with them if I was there playing with him. So cut to the chase. It took over one year for Cody to know what toys were, how to play with balls. He loves all types of toys, mainly squeaky ones. After 5 years of being a team he is finely entertaining himself and playing without having me tossing them and him fetching. When ever I see him playing I praise him like crazy lol. Cody loves toys, when he gets a new toy he's like a little kid and will play with that toy for hours. He does not destroy any toys, does not tear out the squeaker. Dogs are creatures of habit, once you start something with them they expect it all the time. Beaddybear is use to you paying with him, now you have to break that habit so he learns how to play by himself. There is not one method that works for all dogs. I broke Cody by ignoring him when he would dump one of his toys in my lap, Cody is extremely smart and learns quickly, ignoring him worked for me, it may not work for every dog, every thing with dogs is a hit or miss. Just leave all his toys out, it is messy looking lol.

| For my girls the absolute favorite squeaky toys are the squeaky toys that I make - she will nab them as I sew when she has the chance. The absolute best plush squeaky toy is Dr. Noys tiny plush with replacable squeakers. Lollie has several and they are well made and have survived many trips through the washing machine and squeaker changes (they come with one replacement and I buy more) |

| Found out quite by accident what Gidget likes to play with. We went to the drive through at the bank last week. The teller gave her a Milk Bone dog biscuit. Not the small one but the LARGE size. When we got home, I dropped it on the floor and Gidget went nuts. She started chewing on one end, then she threw it a few feet away, attacked it again, and chased it around the living room for a good 10 minutes. Who would have thought that would be a toy for her!! Nothing ever surprises me about our little Yorkies. They keep us on our toes and keep us guessing. |
