Chew Toys for Working Dogs

Please do more reviews with toys you like best!

[@modernmalinois]

We are planning on it!

[@RadDadisRad]

Ugh, I agree. So hard finding something for aggressive chewers.

[@-touya_todoroki]

​@@RadDadisRadhalf a deer antler worked wonders for my dog as a puppy, she never had any cracked teeth until randomly overnight twice with no hard toys, still to this day do not know how she didn't Crack her teeth on the hard shit I gave her BUT GOD FORBID the random unknown thing in her crate that she was chewing on...which wasent the crate wich has no damage to this day as well... But yeah, halfed deer antlers are a wonderful chew don't give a whole as they may break teeth on it

If someone who knows how to stay calm, showing who is the boss and whatever is best(standing still) to do in a dog attack, and you tell the K9 to attack, would it be a whole fight or end right then and there with the person knowing how to keep cool?

[@ethanletzer3507]

My Shepskie always takes the tags off his new toys first thing lol 😂. He's only 45 lbs and DESTROYS all "aggressive chewer" toys but some how still has a stuffed elephant from when he was a puppers....go figure lol

I had that dragon toy for my GSD. I had to trim the tags down but it actually lasted a while. Then we got a GSD/husky mix who is an expert at shredding soft toys and it was gone in 5 minutes.

[@stevenkatie789]

My GSD treats soft toys like the dragon one very delicately and they can last a while. My GSD mix that we adopted so I’m not sure what else he is will shred those soft stuffed toys up in 5 mintues also. He will eat the parts that he chews off. He only gets the bark box super chewer toys and like really good hard rubber toys. The thin soft rubber ones he will tear apart.

The Chuckit brand seems to hold up well to my Mal. Most things are lucky to last a week, He'd of had all the fluff out of that toy in a few minutes. Its funny to watch , he makes a hole and pulls a mouthful of fluff , puts it next to him until he has a big pile and a destuffed toy. Loves catnip too , acts like a cat with it. Great video as always.

[@susanferretti5781]

The Chuckit balls have been a life (and money) saver. My dogs favorite toy, and the first thing she could not chew up.

[@elianwolfert3879]

My old Malinois also loved ripping open plushies and removing the filling. Didn’t eat the filling or anything and was very focussed on tearing the seam apart. She didn’t care for any other toys unless it contained food. 😅

[@jackyderden8775]

It's so true about the tag! My K9 always chew on the tag first 😅😂

[@jenniferproctor439]

My mal mix loves godog squeakies (she de-squeaks them quickly and is trained to bring me any bits she gets off rather than eating anything) especially for catching them midair when thrown. Chew-wise, we keep benebone wishbones around. She likes antlers too but prefers the softer ones that she can slowly work down to nubs. And we really love red barn brand stuffed bones (some destruction at the ends happens on the softer ones but we haven't had any big/sharp pieces break off and they help keep her teeth clean. Her absolute favorite though is the unicool squeaky ball from amazon - the squeak only lasts a few minutes in the human hearing range and then it goes ultrasonic (thank g-d) but she loves to run through the house constantly squeaking it. I suspect if she really wanted to kill it, it wouldn't last, but she enjoys the sound so much that she babies it.

[@ronwatkins2507]

[@Raphsophomes]

I got my german shepherd working dog one of those tough fabric tubes, mines called a "bumper" its a very old design for police and fire dogs, it lasts me about a month, he likes chewing it and its pretty versatile as well, it also doesnt get super gross unlike most fabirc toys. It breaks down in such a way that its safe for him, it has no cotton or any crap like that in it, only issue is it can be tough for him to get a solid grip on it so he doesn't like to tug with it

[@Raphsophomes]

Mine was only 10 bucks and theres a strap on it which i recommend cutting off. It gets destroyed and is hazardous.

[@michaelluckie7397]

Tuffy is a brand I use that I get from Petsmart. They are expensive from $20 to $30, but they last for over a month typically. But with that said, different breeds, different dogs and their bite force would be the biggest factor Side note, I have a 8 month belgian malinois and she is gorgeous

[@popokidoki9747]

Wow! You have a great voice too! Who knew?

[@arnoldlayne9469]

My 9month old Pit/GSD/Cattle Dog dismembered and disemboweled that dragon in 5 minutes..

[@solitarybeag]

I agree. I haven’t had stuffies for years. My Doberman is a hard chewer and his hound buddies are, too, even my 13# pocket Beagle. We’ve been trying Benebones, but they tend to shred. Going back to Gonuts. We don’t do bite work, but I enjoy your videos.

While, yes, those toys do suck for YOUR dogs, they're not actually meant for stronger dogs like Malinois. They're more for smaller, more personal dogs like a Lab.

[@joyjoyace]

That's the point of this video, though; this video is meant to provide options for people with Malinois, not with labs or smaller dogs. He's not trying to say they suck for all dogs. He's saying they suck for these dogs in particular

[@haloedge2829]

Thank you! I have a Black Mouth Cur that can shred anything. His particular breed can hunt bear and wild boar, herd cattle, protect their bonded families, and so on. We do bite and release play using toys but nothing intense, just enough to make sure fingers are spared from any accidental bites.

He has some really good ones already up on the page. Good food drive is a big one so like treat training. I have found it’s not the dog the dog any dog is easily trained it’s the human you need to have discipline you need to have fortitude and not give up, be the Alpha and and remember every situation is a training opportunity.

[@michaelmenezes475]

What about goat horns? The dogs saliva breaks the keratin down so it's quite soft and safe for them. I only avoid the stuffed ones as my GSDs get really intense and crack them to get the marrow.

[@sapphiredragon73]

Fantastic vid as always

[@SolHeizer]

my Rotties heard the squeak & got so excited. GoDog (possibly the brand) used to have a pterodactyl that my Rotties would share gently running around the house with a wing in each mouth. They loved the squeak (sound of an animal going to heaven?🤷🏻‍♀️) but if one was chewing on it alone she would take it and try to shove part of it (we called him pterry) into her sister’s mouth to tease play time. Since pterry, the brand has went downhill. The other brands that literally have Rotties on their labels have been disappointing. The brands made with layers& “ballistic nylon”, their downfall has always been shoddy seams. Thanks for the video!

[@1packatak]

Finding toys for Rotties is really really hard!!! My heathens usually destroyed everything in one play session. Except my female. She was “gifted” a lime green Beanie Baby by a neighbor child from a Mc D’s happy meal. She never, ever destroyed that thing. And could find it no matter where I hid it.

[@geekgainz1378]

This is very interesting to watch! My 2 years old Mali, Maple, never was into chewing toys! Bully sticks, yes! she loves those! But I tried rubber, plush, mix of fabric and plastic, kongs, and nothing really stuck. Bully sticks and antlers seem to be her preference, lol Great vid!!

[@mell.7817]

I am in the same boat to try and find chew toys. 1st one. He took a whole 5 minutes. He was going easy. 2nd. Mine will focus on squeaker and go after it. 3rd. Kongs are O.K. I find that stuffing raw bones with wet dog food and freezing them works just as well. Then I can reuse the bones. Hope you will keep doing more chew toys videos. It’s a needle in a haystack with Mal owners. 😊

I will never buy soft toys for my mal. He is 11 months old and about 85 lbs now ( He's a big beautiful boy ) but he was chewing on a soft toy when he was about 5 months old when I noticed part of it missing. I took it from him and as I was looking around to find the other part he started dry heaving. Next thing I knew there up comes the other part of the soft toy. I took him to the vet to make sure he was fine but never again will he get a soft toy. Even under supervision he managed to swallow some so imagine if he had it in his kennel or run?

[@berolinastrassmann]

My dog (Schnauzer) loves to chew on a liece of deer antlers. Its a 5 inch long stick...made from antlers. A pet store owner in Italy suggested this, and I bought it unconvinced (and a bit grossed out). It turns out my Schnauzer loves it -even after 2 years. The antler stick has remained intact, he loves trying to get to the inside, porous part of the antler. Have you tried antlers before? Last but not least, I live your videos...(I git here warching back from your current videos showing Alexandra's 4week okd puppies ❤❤) You do such a great job! Thank you for taking us along.

[@jacobfoster9185]

RE ; hug/high five, and hand shake "test" NOT A VALID TEST !!! OBVIOUSLY. The Dog is in his training environment AND the "threat" is wearing the training outfit that it's been trained to attack!?

I have a high drive male Dobe and he chews through toys like they are butter just like yours does….you’re right at $20 a pop it’s not worth it. I’ll have to try that big kong!

[@elizabethdixon8038]

Always, the tag goes first, my boy is a Choc Lab, but I’ve trained him not to tear up his plush toys and I’ve named them, and he knows the difference in their names and toys. Big stuff for us, little for you guys. I’m not sure if this will work for you, but Robert Cabral had a great video on putting yogurt in a Kong with some blueberries and freeze them, so they really have to work for the treat. It does take a little to get those xxl Kong’s at $30 bucks a pop. Good Luck and have fun.

[@SimpleCountryDogTrainer]

My Malinois x GSD boys have let me know, with great conviction, that tags are pure evil and must be removed immediately!😂

Hey, can you do a video on how to teach dogs to push into you when playing tug or doing bite work ? Any tips on that for an older dog (1.1 yrs) that only pulls

[@crystalthompson507]

What other brands are good? My lab mix & pit mix are heavy chewers. Kong I knew about. We also do marrow bones and sometimes I'll fill with banana or pumpkin and freeze for a fun treat. Friends gave them each a deer antler. Will also do rope tugs but I watch carefully as the pit doesn't just rip up, she literally eats it's it and anything cloth she gets her teeth on (she's still a puppy).

[@kainhall]

im starting to think my "rez mutt" may be part malinos.... she can bite through a twisted up cotton sock in about 2 seconds.... and a lawn mower tire in a few sessions . shit has amazing targeting however.... plays with other dogs great (but can sometimes have TOO much energy and want to play and play and play)

What are the yellow and blue balls that you use for training? I need something like that for my Mal. She likes to always have a toy with her, but she just destroys everything obviously...

[@mjmurple]

Plushies are not for every dog and dogs should definitely not be allowed to chew them. My dog loves to play with plushies but we play fetch and tug with them and she likes the squeakers. But she only has access to them under supervision and if she starts to chew them, they get taken away. I think she has learned the rules with her toys because if she does want to chew she goes and finds an actual chew toy.
