The smelly dog ball toy

Here's how to make a smelly dog ball toy.

• Get newspaper, stickytape and a smell of your choice.


• Scrunch up your newspaper and keep doing it until you have a big ball, otherwise he/she might swallow the ball whole and choke.


• Put tape around the ball to make it strong.


• Then you can spray or smear nearly all the smell onto the ball.


• Tip: For a stronger smell, you can also put the smelly stuff in every bit of newspaper before you tape it up.

Editor's note: Thanks for another good dog ball toy idea, Jake! We often do this with Comet with different toys and bones. Rather than the smell of our choice, however, we use something that smells good to him like peanut butter, cheese spread, bacon grease, or salad dressing. I do not know what you could spray that would smell good to a dog - perhaps you can offer some comments on what you had in mind with that?
