Bored Dog? These Dog Toys Actually Help
Dogs aren’t built to sit around all day. When they get bored, they get creative—and not in a good way. Chewed shoes, torn pillows, random barking? Classic signs of a dog with nothing better to do.
The fix? The right kind of toy.
1. Toys That Make Dogs Think
Mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise. Look for toys that:
-
Can be filled with treats or peanut butter
-
Require problem-solving to use
-
Change the way they move or feel when chewed
These types of toys engage the brain, not just the jaw.
2. Chew Toys That Last
If your dog is a chewer, give them something that holds up. Tough, flexible toys (like the MUT Flex/Tough) keep dogs entertained longer—especially when used during downtime like crate time or rainy days.
3. Toys That Serve a Purpose
Toys that float, bounce, or tug offer more than a chew—they create activities. Fetch toys are great for high-energy dogs who need an outlet beyond the backyard fence.
4. Rotate to Keep It Fresh
Even the best toy gets boring eventually. Keep 3–5 toys in rotation and swap them out every few days. This keeps your dog excited and curious every time you reintroduce one.
🐾 Better Toys = Better Behavior
Boredom is one of the top causes of destructive behavior in dogs. Giving them a toy designed for both durability and mental engagement helps cut back on frustration—for both of you.
