Rico's New toy!

5/29/2012

I've talked about other products I love, but we've found a new one, (if I haven't said so before, I'm not getting paid or any kind of endorsement for promoting products, just sharing my unbiased opinion). Our local pet store had their semi annual customer appreciation sale a few weekends ago, so we figured there wasn't a better time to try out a new toy that we wouldn't usually want to spent money on, (I'm sure most dog owners know how difficult it can be toy to spend money on something your dog either may not like, or will destroy in 3 minutes) this time I was looking at the array of ChuckIt! dog toys. Rico is a big time swimmer in summer so I'm always up for something that floats and tosses well. I've been eyeing the flying squirrel for a while, but upon more inspection and comparison to the other toys, I realized the material on the body is strong but thin, and Rico would poke holes in it whether it was intentional or not. I was bored with the ChuckIt! balls, although we recently purchased the short distance ball which is pretty cool.  Rico likes to catch frisbees but he always either cuts his gums on the sharp plastic or bites his tongue, both ways causing pretty severe mouth bleeding. I noticed ChuckIt! had different size frisbees which were rubbery material and fabric. I reluctantly decided to try it (the last floating toss toy, won't mention the name... he wanted to chew more than he wanted to fetch it, and while we don't know his breed, he loves to retrieve) and I'm so happy we did. He has had no bleeding incidences, no strong desire to shred it (we don't leave him unattended with it either way) and he gets excited when we grab it to play. I'm sharing a couple of pictures of him on memorial day at the dog beach enjoying his new toy. (Note: he is on a leash, it is approx. 20 feet long, we do not condone or practice off leash with our dogs in public places)

Just discovered your website. Love your blog essays. Any comments about good ( durable ) toys for a dog that loves to chew? We have a new 8 month old golden retriever (from the shelter) and we need to re-direct his chewing energies.

    My name is Kim. I've grown up in this beautiful place we call Marquette, MI. I have always been a lover of animals and my love for them has only grown stronger with age.  I love all animals from mice to cows, to pigs and frogs.  Of course as dogs are the ones living most closely among us they have become my passion. I have been in the dog business since 2009 with a focus on dog training since 2010 when I completed my career diploma in Dog Obedience Trainer/Instructor from Penn Foster Career School. I worked on building my knowledge and experience for the next 4 years until I sat for my first formal certification in 2014. In building of those credentials I continued with the skills portion in 2015 earning the titel Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge and Skills Assessed (CPDT-KSA)
    My husband Rick and I have owned and operated TacoMo Dog Training since 2010 and are in the process of transitioning to TacoMo Dog Co. as we have officially added grooming as of 2022.
    TacoMo was the recall word for our first 2 dogs Rico aka Taco, and Morzy aka Mo. We have since loved and lost both of them in 2020 and sadly a puppy in 2019. We now are loved by our current crazies Tiramisu aka Misu a Mini American Shepherd born 2019 and Goji and small Australian Shepherd born 2020.
    We also have a daughter born in 2017 who is always keeping us on our toes. Find us on Facebook, Instagram and even Tiktok!
