To cut down on the "treats, I simply put the smell of a treat on my dog's toys. He never has figured out that there isn't anything to eat there.

toilet paper tubes...bad thing by: Viki
I would never recommend t.p. tubes being used for anything involving a dog...this comes from first hand knowledge.
We used to let our puppies play with the t.p. tubes and they LOVED them. They LOVED them way too much...
When we got home from work (this was after the puppies were old enough to be out of the crate) we found our house toilet papered one day. It had been months since the pups had played with the tubes, graduating to things like kongs. But I am guessing the old memory cells kicked in and the thought of a tasty t.p. tube came to mind.
Since they couldn't find any empty tubes they figured they could coax the tube out of the middle of the paper. Apparently THAT was way more fun then just the tube as they not only took the tubes off the holders (two bathrooms!) but also opened the cabinets and got the entire stash!
I imagine also that there was some "I got it and you doooon't" going on as there wasn't a room in the house that didn't have some t.p. in it.
The worst part of this story is yet to be revealed...our dogs lived another 13 and 14 years but the thought of that wonderful day never left them. We could no longer leave a roll on the roller and had to tie the cabinets shut for the rest of their long lives.
So, I would NEVER recommend toilet paper tubes. SMILES!!!
