Just brought this 50 pound 5 month old pup home from the shelter last night. Based upon his color, temperament, size and body shape, he is a German/Anatolian Shepard mix. Gots him some huge feet. He needs to be occupied every waking moment, or stuff will get chewed. I am in need of some chew toys that will last more than a few hours. What you got?

Shepherd.

Kong toys, any of them. Don't waste your time on the Kong filler, just use peanut butter. Buy two Kongs, put peanut butter in them, give the dog one and put the other in the freezer. Rotate them out as needed. Antlers are expensive, but they last a long time. Pig's ears for quick treats. Rope toys, for some reason they just have to figure out how to get the knots undone. "Pressed" or "Compressed" rawhide is out. Basically like the OSB of dog treats.

Anything with fur, stuffing, and a squeaker in it is a waste of money.

Good looking pup.

I have heavy chewers and these are the only toys that last. They will eventually destroy them but it takes forever and these have a lifetime warranty through the company. I have warrantied 3-4 times over the years. Every other type of toy I have ever tried is destroyed within a few hours. Not cheap but cheaper than replacing furniture that gets chewed on.

Smack the shit out of him a couple times for chewing stuff hes not supposed to followed by pinning him on the ground for a solid few minuted pointing at what he did and scalding him. It should work for a long time but he may eventually need a reminder and wont do it again. Give him toys as treats and not a better option for chewing
 
Nice looking pup!

We used a kong toy, and shoved in one those 6" milkbones in it, one end would stick out, and eaten, the rest was inside after that. Dog would fuck with it for HOURS, eventually getting the rest of it out.

But that's if there was NOTHING else going on. You've got a smart animal there, pay it attention. Because *it* does.

Good luck, and do the right thing.
 
Go find Jimmy numbers and put him on a locked leash on a cable run. Your dog will have many great hours with that chew toy. :grinpimp:

You recommend boiling water or oil for the scalding?

-What a douche move and you know it!!

My dawgs get back ribs, pork chops & they love deer meat too-
 
I just bought a Playology in BACON scented. I will see how long that lasts. When its getting towards the end of its life, I will order a goughnuts stick. I also picked up a large Kong toy for when he is is the yard. We just got back from a trip to Petco and a long walk. He is dead asleep and cleverly positioned as trip hazard at the top of the stairs.

This is my 4th Shepard mix, but by far going to be the largest. He is pretty mellow for a puppy, but he did just have his balls removed two days ago, that's got to take a little steam out of you. Had a Rottweiler before the Shepards. I like the GSD's for their loyalty, and the exuberant way they live life. They make great camping dogs. Lost my best girl two months ago to the fucking cancer, she went everywhere with me for the past 10 years. Best camping dog ever. She would set a perimeter about 100' around camp, chase any critter out who dared enter her space, and come right back. Never needed a leash. I could sit around a fire on a solo trip out in the middle of BFE with no need to pay attention to my surroundings, because I knew I would get plenty of warning if something was stupid enough to approach unannounced. I am hoping this guy will be a close second because she really was that cool of a dog.

Maybe a douche move but it works. You dont have to actually hurt the dog just get a littpe excessive on letting them know they fucked up. Its a hell of a lot better then coming home to a hole chewed through your matress and another through your wall

That's a good boy.
 
Buy/use the red Kongs. The black ones are tougher and will wear down the lower canines. I have a black GSD who is OCD about his kongs. I’ve switched to red and he seems to pick it over black ones every time. His bottom teeth have a flat spot on the tips. Hope I caught that problem in time.
Great looking dog you have there. He won’t disappoint you.
 
Lots of writin' that I'm not reading. Buffalo bully sticks, pig ears, Kongs with peanut butter. My guys favorite.
 
My pitbull would destroy any chew toy given to him. Shortly after the yelping as said toy destroyed his anus ha.:lmao:

dogs aren't humans
wait, never mind, people need the same treatment from time to time
everything learns that "you don't fuckin' wreck dad's shit" lesson one way

ETA: bet you use a pussy pleading tone of voice when scolding your dog for barking like my old neighbor did
"now scruffleswuffiekins you know I'd prefer if you didn't choose to vocalize your frustrations at this hour, we've had this discussion many times before"
vs
"SHUT UP"
they understand tone of voice

Water buffalo horns or deer antler (or elk, whatev) the first two can be bought easily. Those and kong toys are pretty decent but i prefer the natural bone shit. Dogs love em. Got a 70lb malinois and a cane corso pup thats 80lbs/ 8mos. Hat tons of rough breeds.

Tie a big rope to a tree so they can pull. If the pup is active, a large hard plastic ball (8-12") keeps em chasing after it forever

​​​​​​not a good enough excuse to run down to local Spencer's to get another dildo??

don't know what kind of fluffy w/Mickey Mouse hat you entertain but I have/had the "banned breeds" that most insurance won't cover. It is a challenge & let me stress the importance of hard work, respect, kindness, courage & to walk dawgs w/o a leash.

~You can improve anything; jever hear of the "Golden Rule" of treating others the way you would like to be treated & let me add; Treat dogs better than you want to be treated.

Continue on with your old fashioned jamming-
 
I would go out shed hunting and get a few deer and elk antlers for my pit. He would burn through the deer quick, elk took forever though.
Black or red kongs.

NOT rope. Rope leads to linear obstructions, which leads to dead dogs.
 
Get a tire, bonus points if it's still attached to the USPS van :flipoff2:

nah, do they even exist any more? I haven't seen a goth kid in forever

I think there is still one in Fresno, but they aren't Gothic stores anymore.

I live in San Diego area, so not much deer or elk around here to shed. He seems much more interested in the tennis balls than the chewies. Doesn't really chew them up but carries them around in his mouth. He already figured out how to pick up two at a time.
