Thanks for the great tip. I didn't know about JB Pet. A few years back Max could have gotten a job as a toy tester. Very few toys could survive his aggressive chewing. Those that survived generally were toys he didn't like very much.
But there were a few that held up very well -- Spot Bites was the brand of most of them. We still have them because he still drags them out of the basket from time to time. I bought all of those left on the clearance table to save for the future, or for gifts, and then forgot about them. My usual outlets don't carry them any more.
The other kinds of toys that he ripped apart were toys with squeakers. He was just determined to remove every squeaker. Once extricated, I'd take the squeaker away from him and use it as a training aid. I could get his attention, or just get him to come in, by squeaking the squeaker. I had a whole collection of squeakers that played ."Who let the dogs out!" LOL
I just got a great deal on a folding crate and an 8-panel exercise pen for the new puppy with an Email offer. Ten percent off JB Pet's prices is cheaper than PetSmart or the local pet discount store, even with paying for the shipping. They don't charge extra to ship crates, just their regular rate. And they throw in a free toy if your order is more than 50 bucks.
