Newspaper Toys

[Ather]

So I've just recently got into newspaper toys for Akira, my Shiba Inu. I know he loves to tear stuff apart but for whatever reason it never clicked with me to let him have a go at the old unwanted newspapers I had. My only concern is should I be sticking with normal local papers or is it safe to use those ad coupon and sale things you get in the mailbox that makes it explode? Also is this a toy I should be using while he is supervised only or is it ok for him to have while I am out of the house going to class? He's not a fan of boxes, so I won't be leaving any of those around. I'm trying to think of new ways to keep him busy through out the day when I am not home. He's a super smart dog and gets bored easily. I am just so grateful he has done minor damage while I am been figuring out the best ways to keep him busy with toys!

I use any paper at all. I think so long as they aren't likely to eat it then it won't matter. If he eats it after shredding it then stick to paper without inks and dyes.

Same with being left - I leave mine with them. Because I know they don't eat them. If he eats the paper then perhaps supervise and remove when he's done.

I think this is the aim:


Lots of mess, uneaten newspaper and a tired, satisfied, happy pooch

Don't use anything with staples. Other than that, it should be fine.

Thanks guy. Much appreciate for the responses. I'll set up some paper balls with treats in them tomorrow and see how he does

I balled up paper for my 5 month old pup and he loved the game. What are newspaper games ?
