If you would like to find out more about my services, you can visit my website at www.canineheadstart.com. So we are going to be talking about different types of toys and in this little clip we are talking about rope toys. What are rope toys? Some times they are called dental rope chews.

This would be appropriate for a small to medium sized dog. This is another type of rope toy. This rope toy actually has a rubber chewy that is attached to it. This would be appropriate for a medium to large sized dog. This toy you could actually pretty well play tug of war. You can also play fetch because of the rubber cong thing on it.

It did have a squeaker but the squeaker has been de-squeaked. You can see that there are a number of different kinds of rope toys that you can get. This type of toy here they do make them smaller and make them quite large. Some dogs like playing with these a lot. You do want to be careful and watch your dogs when they are playing with these. If they are shredding it and ingesting the material, you want to take them away from your dog immediately.
