We have a high energy Australian Shepherd, and these are the toys that have given her the most joy and amusement.
The classic Chuckit! bucket. Durable and well made, this will provide hours of entertainment for your furball. Not to mention your throwing arm will get a decent workout as well.
CHUCKIT! Bucket Fetch Dog Toy
Lots of textures, our girl loves this thing. Perfect for when you want them occupied but are too busy to play.
FRISCO Bacon Flavored Ring Nylon Chew Dog Toy ...
Awesome for summer nights when nobody wants the day to end. These things will last until they’re lost or you throw them out, they’re basically indestructible.
CHUCKIT! Max Glow Ball Dog Toy, Small
Tasty for him/her, yet no discernible smell and it doesn’t stain your carpet. Everybody wins.
Nylabone Gourmet Style Nylon Strong Wishbone Dog Chew Toy Peanut Butter Large/Giant - up to 50 lbs.
I get it, these are traditionally for cats. But our aussie loves chasing the dot, which is great when you just want to sit and watch the Knicks game. Or the Bills. (But never the Chiefs).
FYNIGO Cat Laser Pointer Toy Rechargeable,Interactive Toy for Cat Kitten Dog with a Mouse Toy,Silver
I don’t know, some people say that you shouldn’t play tug-o-war with your pooch, but our girl is a sweetheart and never really gets aggressive, yet still enjoys the heck out of this thing. The only con is the unavoidable drool.
FRISCO Fetch Colorful Ball Knot Rope Dog Toy, Small/ ...
A puzzle and a snack. I mean…my wife could put pistachios in this thing and I would be happy and occupied for a while, imagine how your dog will love it.
NINA OTTOSSON BY OUTWARD HOUND Brick Puzzle ...
I buy one of these every year. They’re super durable, but I leave them out in the winter and we live just outside of Buffalo, so that’s on me. Otherwise it would probably last forever.
CHUCKIT! Flying Squirrel Dog Toy, Color Varies, Small
Who doesn’t love pizza? Serial killers, that’s who. Being met at the front door with a fuzzy little slice is just downright adorable. If David Berkowitz’s pup had one of these, maybe things would have played out differently.
HUXLEY & KENT Dog Power Plush Puperoni Pizza ...
Our fuzzball is mid-sized, so anything comically large is just funny to us. Always makes me smile seeing her in the window with this hanging from her mouth when I get home.
KONG Whipples Assorted Tough Squeaky Dog Plush Toy ...
Again, with an aussie, we need to keep her moving and focused. And shepherds gotta shep…? Or herd. Either way, this thing pays for itself.
