7 Reasons This Christmas Tree Toy Gives Your Dog Something to Find

If the new squeaky toy is stuffing by bedtime and the low ornaments keep moving up the tree, read this first.

1. He's not being bad, he's got nothing to find

Dogs explore with their noses first. Sniffing, searching and pulling something free is a game they play on their own.

A plain plush toy has nothing inside to find. So for some dogs the game turns into getting the stuffing out, and the tinsel looks interesting too.

2. Why another squeaky toy lasts an afternoon

Another plush squeaker is one toy and one game. Some dogs open it up the same day.

A tougher chew toy lasts longer, but it's the same every time, and a long walk doesn't give his nose much to do once he's home.

3. Give his nose a job: hide, sniff, pull

Hide something inside the toy and the game changes. Tuck the three squeaky ornaments into the tree's pockets and set it on the rug.

He noses around, digs one out and runs a lap with it. Put them back and it's a new round.

4. Three squeakers, plush and crinkle

Each ornament toy squeaks by itself, so the fun keeps going after he finds it.

Soft plush and crinkly textures give him something to carry, shake and toss. No batteries, no app.

5. The honest part: it's plush

No plush toy is indestructible, and this one isn't either. It's best for small and medium dogs and gentle chewers.

Play with it together, put it away when playtime ends, and take it away if the fabric tears. If he finds all three fast, hide them deeper or one at a time.

6. Busy while you wrap, and his own present

Refill the pockets and it's a new game, which is handy while you wrap gifts or get dinner on.

On Christmas morning he gets his own present to sniff out and tear into, on purpose this time. Hand wash and air dry when it needs it.

7. Buy 1, get 1 free: two trees for $20
