Playtime

Playtime and brain games are very important for puppy. It will help keep their mind stimulated, keep them out of trouble and teach them what items they are and aren't allowed to chew on. The harder a puppy has to think to play with something (like a doggie puzzle), the more worn out they will be. AND we all know a tired puppy = a happy owner!

You will want to get a variety of toys and games for puppy, but don't let them have everything at once. They are like a human child, they can get bored of their toys. So it is smart to have a stash of say 15 exciting items, and every few days rotate 5 out and 5 in. This will keep things exciting, and keep puppy interested. The great thing about Amazon too is, if you get something and puppy is not interested at all, their return policy is AMAZING.
