Tilly loves toys! Her favourites have to be soft toys, but they either get ripped in games of tug-o-war between both dogs, or end up stinking as they are left in the garden!
I like buying new toys for the dogs to keep them entertained. I also swap them around. I keep some in the cupboard and only bring them out for training or occasional walks. This keeps them 'high-value' in the dog's eyes.
Tilly loves to play fetch with a tennis ball (her favourites are the bouncing rubber ones) but I noticed that while playing with her Collie friend today, she kept trying to steal his ring-toy.
So off I went and found a ring for her. As soon as I brought it in she went crazy with it, throwing it up in the air and pouncing on it. I'll take it on our walk tomorrow to see if it keeps her focused.
Here she is with it!
