Dogs And Toys For Rewarding Skills

I use a variety of toys when rewarding dogs. I am selective in the types of toys I choose. Many owners waste a lot of money on toys that have little value. I can go through a toy basket in most houses and show that most of them have no interest whatsoever, or are sometimes risky to use, or are worn out and needing replacement. But, what to buy? 

One toy I like is the Jolly Ball, otherwise called the Tug N Toss with Handle. It is a very useful reward in the training if you use it properly. I generally have to show owners how to get the most out of their toys to make them optimally rewarding. Just buying this toy and leaving it around the house like a chew toy is a waste of money. 

Here is the 8 inch version I use for larger dogs

And here is a smaller version I use for a variety of sized dogs
