What will my dog like about the sound in this toy?
All dogs have a natural prey drive (the hunting instinct) which is often triggered by a sound. To a dog, certain sounds can indicate the immediate presence of something ‘alive.’ Most dogs will be very motivated to, shall we say… ‘silence’ the sound! (this is great fun for dogs and is much kinder than real prey!). Dogtronics sound toys give dogs a natural incentive to engage (and continue to engage) with a toy.
