Unusual Dog Toys

We have some unusual dog toys to share with you!

Not only are these toys unique, you can also learn how to make dog toys of this kind at home. Most do not require complicated materials.

One simple homemade dog toy we have developed that is also great for exercising your dog is The Whipwhir. You will need some type of pole, a length of cord or rope, and some rags to make one.

Another type of toy we created are the Paddio Sticks - dog chew toys with a twist. All you need are some green, non-poisonous sticks and some rags for wrapping them.
