DOG BEHAVIOR BASICS
Why dogs destroy toys
For many dogs, taking the thing apart is the activity, not evidence that the toy failed.
The satisfying parts
Chewing, tugging, dissecting seams and reaching a squeaker can all be rewarding behaviors. Individual intensity varies.
Plan for the dog you have
Choose products suited to chewing intensity, supervise and treat durability as a spectrum. No toy is truly indestructible.
