Hi my 11 month old lab lives outside in a kennel and run system...however due to the nature of the majority of dogs in our area it is on lead walks for morning and afternoon but no off lead time till around 10 pm ish as its just not safe.

This is leading to boredom....he has a playmate from 8amish till 5pmish and lots of human playtime and free run on the garden but after 5.30 ish when leo goes home (choccie lab) taylor gets bored hewing up the wooden round the kennel entrance etc so looking for strong, maybe interactive and safe toys any ideas.

thanks stacey

Mine are happy to be left with nylabones when I'm at work (in all shapes/sizes/flavours). Not all dogs like them though. Melvin is a serial chewer of toys, so these and kongs really are the only things he can have Shocked

Boomer balls are great, if he's like my 2 and footballs last around 10 secs until teeth go through them. They are indestructable and i have to take ours away or they would push it around to exhaustion. Rolling Eyes

Melvin has the black extreme kongs. He also has a jump n jack red one too.

As for nylabones, they like them all but this one is a favourite

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002C7872M/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&s=pet-supplies&psc=1

There are also some from a different band with jerky down the middle

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Marrowbone-Bone-Nylon-Dental-Jumbo/dp/B002OBXUVY/ref=sr_1_3?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=13109263 23&sr=1-3

We have a boomer ball too, the dogs love it (in an odd obsessive kind of way) but I wouldn't leave them unsupervised with it. They actually cannot stop themselves... Eddie in particular gets very vocal and I'm pretty sure he'd play with it until he dropped dead from exhaustion if I wasn't there to interrupt him Shocked Shocked Shocked

id be so interested what others come up with, today of we went to buy new toys what we thought felt tough, already one has a hole in it. his new nylon bone he has shoved to side. and his kong he takes it and looks at me like and you want me to get that stuff out. hes not keen. he loves any type of plastic bottles, and lasts him ages but a foot ball not a chance.

boomer ball what size would you recommend for casper hes 31 weeks old

I bought two of these at Crufts March 2010 and they are still almost intact:

Mine love soft toys but these Kong Wubbas are only ones I can leave them with unsupervised. No idea why but they are the only softish toys they have not shredded:

If you check out the Company of Animals website, they have a sizing guide for the boomer balls to allow you to select which one is best for your dog.
