Appropiate Toys For Your Pit Bulls

You will find it very handy and convenient to have a toy box or basket in each room that the pit bull pup spends the majority of it’s time in. (i.e. Living room, family room, kitchen, bedroom, or the room where the pup sleeps.)

One of these entertainment boxes may not be needed in all rooms, but certainly the most frequently used rooms do.

Four or five articles in each basket is a good plan. The puppy needs a variety of textures and sizes to vent out different areas of canine instinct. For example, soft , plush type toys simulate small mammals to your puppy.

Remove the toys eyes & noses for safety. If the pup was still with it’s mother instead of with you, she would be teaching it how to stalk, hunt and even perhaps ingest small mammals to survive. Those instincts are still active even though we humans provide them with an expensive, balanced diet. Therefore by allowing them to have access to furry, little stuffed toys it enables them to vent this natural instinct.

You may see your puppy stalk or sneak up on this type of toy, then pounce on it, play with it by tossing it around the floor or through the air then pounce on it again. They can spend several minutes on this procedure at one time and literally be having a ball. They will mouth the object and may even shred it pretending to eat it. If this happens, remove the article and give him another.
