This super cool dog toy is the best option for dogs who want to experience a better toy.  And believe us, your dog definitely wants to experience a better toy.  

Why is it the best dog toy with interactive capabilities?  The toy has a degree of difficulty to figure out.  This creates a challenge but is still easy enough for your dog to figure out and feel rewarded by their parents’ reaction of pure amazement.  

But first, let’s set the stage with some background information and some context.  

Dogs are not just pets. Dogs are our best friends. They are our companions. They are members of the family. Keeping them entertained and providing mental stimulation is important, or they may become little monsters. We have all come home to a house that looks like a tornado ripped through it because our pups decided to tear everything apart. One of the best ways to keep them mentally stimulated is through the use of interactive and funny dog toys. But as we said, not all toys are created equal.  Whether you have a large dog or a small dog, they all deserve a great toy. 
 

Choosing the right dog toy can be overwhelming.  There are endless options available. Those that move and/or are interactive tend to be more effective in keeping dogs engaged and happy.

4 Reasons You Need Toys for Dogs That Move

What Toys Make Dogs More Active? 

The Spin-a-Bone by Bullibone is a pioneer in the category of self play dog toys. It spins on the ground in a circular motion, triggering a dog’s natural instinct to chase and catch prey. If your dog loves playing fetch or playing at the park with a ball launcher, they will love how this toy triggers a similar part of their brain, the part of a dog’s brain related to their prey drive.  It’s great for keeping a hyperactive dog entertained.  

We need to encourage physical activity and play in dogs. This toy checks that box as they get to run and jump after the toy. This type of play can also help prevent boredom and alleviate stress. Stress and Boredom lead to destructive chewing in dogs. Trust us, a bored dog can turn into a bad dog really fast.  

What is a Good Interactive Toy for Dogs?

Interactive toys require the dog to engage its brain. There are all sorts of dog toys such as –  a puzzle toy, a treat dispensing toy, or even a tug toy such as standard rope toys. 

One particularly unique example of an interactive dog toy is a nylon chew toy with paw pad handles that allow the dog to prop the chew toy up using their paws. Nylon dog toys have been around for a long time and are trusted by millions of dog owners.  This particular toy is sold in over 25,000 retail locations.  You have probably seen it many times before. They are the original bacon flavored dog chew toys by Bullibone, the best interactive dog toys on the market.    

It’s fun to watch your dog’s brain go to work as they find the right angle to position their little paws to prop up the bone chew away.  It makes your pup problem-solve. Problem-solving is shown to improve cognitive abilities and stimulate a dog’s mind.

These types of dog toys also tend to be more engaging and satisfying for dogs. It brings them a framework for a challenge and reward system. 

These Bullibone chew toys are strong and durable and stand up to even the most aggressive chewer.  We challenge you to put your furry little chewers to the test and see how fast they learn to use the paw pad handles.  Most dogs learn how to use the paw pad handles within 30 seconds.  See if your little chewer can break the record, which currently stands at 6 seconds.  

I can hear you say- “give me some more reasons why these types of toys are better than standard dog toys”!   Well… they can also help strengthen the bond between dog and dog owner.  Dogs are social animals and thrive on playing and interacting with their owners. If they don’t have a way to be stimulated mentally, happy energetic pups can turn into bored dogs pretty quickly.  

Playing with your dog using interactive or moving toys is a great way to spend quality time together and build a stronger relationship. Dog owners need to reinforce positive behaviors like following commands or responding to visual cues.  You can teach your dog to sit and wait for the toy before engaging with it. It helps a dog focus on their pet parents and helps maintain eye contact. Eye contact is a very important part of keeping a dog’s attention.  

Not only do they help in strengthening the bond between dog and owner, but interactive and moving toys can also be great for another aspect of having a well-behaved dog – socializing them and giving positive reinforcement for proper play. Socialization is super important for dogs.  It helps them learn how to play with other dogs and people in a positive and appropriate manner. 

Going to the park with your pup to play with a frisbee of play fetch with a ball is a favorite past-time of most dog owners. This can be a great way to introduce dogs to other dogs and people.  A day at the park with a good game of fetch can also benefit us humans who tend to forget how much we love being outside. If you don’t have access to a dog park or your dog prefers to say at home, an interactive toy, like the Spin-a-Bone, can be a good solution.

And when we talk about anxiety or stress, moving and interactive toys can be a savior. Dogs that suffer from anxiety or stress can exhibit unwanted behaviors. They are more likely to engage in destructive behavior like destructive chewing or unwanted digging. Unless you are trying to dig a hole for some new plants in your backyard, unwanted digging is not a good thing.

Providing them with a toy that moves or requires problem-solving can help alleviate their stress and anxiety by giving them something to focus on. This is especially true for ones that require interaction. It gives a sense of comfort and security for dogs that may be feeling anxious or stressed.

Choosing an Interactive Dog Toy

As we said before, not all dog toys are created equal. We recommend always looking for dog toys that are made in the USA. You should also make sure you get a toy that is right for your dog’s age and breed.

Hopefully, we made our point.  It’s important to choose toys that are USA made and tailored to your dog’s individual needs and play levels. Our duty as pet parents is to find a new toy for our pups that will become their favorite toy. You don’t want to settle for any old toy, you want to find the best dog bones that are appropriate for your pup. 

So there you have it!  Toys for dogs that spin and move around are better than dog toys that don’t. They provide physical exercise and stimulate a dog’s mind.  They can help strengthen the bond between dogs and owners. They can also be beneficial for dogs suffering from anxiety or stress and solidify good playtime habits.
