Unusual Dog Toys

We have some unusual dog toys to share with you!

Not only are these toys unique, you can also learn to make your own dog toys. Most do not require complicated materials.

One of the simplest home made dog toys we have developed that is also great for exercising your dog is The Whipwhir. You will need some type of pole or straight stick, a length of cord or rope, and some rags to make one.

Another one of our home made dog toys are Paddio Sticks, dog chew toys with a twist.

And above is a photo of a Nobbly Wobbly to give you more ideas.

The remaining unique, easy-to-make dog toys on this page have been contributed by visitors to our site.

Scroll down to the bottom of this page to see what they have come up with, and then go ahead and try your hand; you too CAN make your own dog toys!

Have You Made An Unusual Dog Toy?

Do you have instructions on how to make it? Share it here! The more detailed you are, the easier it will be for someone else to make one too.

Note: Due to search engine requirements, we now require a minimum of 300 words - more are welcome!

You can use the following questions as a guide:
* What made you think of making this dog toy?
* Did you use materials from around the house or did you buy some or all of them?
* What materials were they?
* Could other materials be substituted?
* What are all the steps for making this toy.
* How long did it take you to make it?
* How did your dog like it?
* Did any other dogs get to play with it?
* How well did the toy last?
* Have you made anything else for a dog?
* Did you have help making this toy?
