She chews the toy til she gets the squeaker. email this discussion to a friend?

Why do dogs do that?

My puppy will chew a stuffed toy apart until she gets at the squeaker then promptly looses interest in the toy. Shes never interested in the squeaker-less toys for chewing apart. her dad does the same thing.

Well I no longer have a dog, but when I did, mine would do the very same thing. I too wondered why they would want to get this squeeker out of the toys.Then, they have no more interest in it at all.

She'll go back to it eventually...usually its AFTER i've sewn it back up with the squeaker in. Bells in it dont work the same as a squeaker.

I'm obviously not a pet psychologist or anything of that nature, but I think it's a challenge to them. They hear that enticing noise and they want to find out what it is. Once they have accomplished this, then there is no challenge. I bought my cat a little fish on a string that was tied to a small pole. She played with it for 5 minutes, chewed the string, snapped the fish off and that was the end of that toy.

challenge is a good reason. I've never figured out why a squeaker attracts her but not bells.

My dog loves toys but his favorite ones are fuzzy toys with a squeaker. he also likes this rubbery bone thing that squeaks. He has a bad habit of carrying all th toys outside when he is excited and then he never has them inside when he want to play.

my puppys dad will sit behind us while we watch tv and bite the squeaker until someone plays with him. He'll chew his toys to bits to get at the squeaker..or squeak it til he makes my pup and her mom chase him.

She has had this toy for almost 3 months now and has yet to get the squeakers out of it. What is even better is she LOVES to play with it.

Oh mine too, lol. They will tear it apart, fight over it and then destroy it till they find that squeaker. It is actually hilarious to watch.


myLot reputation of 98/100. saundyl (1770)   ranked 227 out of 6,852 in dogs  3 months ago

Its really amusing when they all get going on the same toy.

i think their find a challenge like everyone said, my dog use to do when he was younger but seem to stop doing it now and just use the squeaker toy to get our attention and play with him.


myLot reputation of 98/100. saundyl (1770)   ranked 227 out of 6,852 in dogs  3 months ago

They are good ways to get our attention thats for sure
