Favorite homemade dog toys:
Pop Bottle

My dog cannot get enough of a two-liter plastic bottle with rocks or pennies or marbles inside of them. We remove the label and replace the bottles every time we go through another water or soda. My dog has two, an inside one and an outside one. He chases it constantly and pushes it everywhere. Just be prepared to not be able to hear anything other than the toy if you allow it to be an inside toy.


Editor's note: This seems to be a favorite with a number of dogs, although no one else has mentioned putting pennies or marbles inside the bottles. It does sound noisy but also a great way to know where your dog is at! We're assuming that you put the lids back on so that you don't have things spilling out of the bottles all over the house or yard and that you make sure to transfer the insides before a bottle gets a hole in it...
