Dog Toy

Learn how to make homemade dog toys such as a Sock Swing Ball and a Sock Ball from old or holey socks in underneath five minutes.

SOCK SWING BALL

• Take 4 or 5 discarded socks. At least one of them must be knee length.
• Use this knee length sock for the base. If it has big holes in the foot part, push another sock inside it so that the holes are covered
• Roll up and stuff the remaining socks inside
• Tie a knot in the base sock(s) just above the stuffed area

That’s all there is to it! Go play fetch or tug-of-war with your dog! (Just watch cautiously to make sure your buddy doesn’t swallow any pieces of sock. These may cause choking or digestive problems.)

SOCK BALL

• Use a minimum of 4 socks
• Use your longest sock with the smallest holes for the base
• Roll and stuff the other socks inside
• Tie a firm knot in the base sock above the stuffed area
• Double the end of the base sock back over the entire ball
• Tie a knot above the stuffed area again
• Repeat until you can not tie a knot any more
• Cut the end off the sock just above the last knot

Sock balls are best employed for playing fetch or soccer, indoors or out. Again, please supervise your dog at all times to make sure he or she does not choke on or swallow any sock pieces.

Notes: Sock balls may be washed and dried along with other dog items.

For a more prominent ball, use thick stockings or assorted layers of old pantyhose for the base sock.

Great Toy!
By A. Thompson
I was nervous when buying this because I was not sure if this was the whole set or just replacements- I was pleased when it arrived and was the whole set.
My dog has a outstanding time with this toy. The little squirrels inside the trunk are squeaky toys, which she LOVES. The box came with instructions on how to modivate and instruct your pet to use it. We put a little treat in the bottom and she had a outstanding time digging it out. The whole procedure for removing the squirrels takes her less than a minute now, so if there is not a humane near by to restock the trunk, she moves on to something else. This is not something I would leave her with and suppose it to keep her occupied for the day.
I would say that if your pet enjoys this usual type of play (stuffed things, digging, hide and seek) this is an EXCELLENT toy and alot of fun.

species identification
By A. Fetter
Our golden retriever loves this and, as others have reported, enjoys carrying the animals around the house after removing them. Fortunately, he doesn’t squeak them for more than a couple of minutes at a time, and he hasn’t injured any percentage of it in the three weeks that he’s had it (he seems to recognise the divergence amidst stuffed animals and sticks/bones, fortunately).

I did need to do one intervention, though. The dog’s grandparents and his father were encouraging him to “get the squirrels! get the squirrels!” They’re unquestionably chipmunks. I’ve never seen a striped squirrel. So if you want your dog to learn suitable species identification (and who doesn’t?), you might want to switch to “get the chipmunks!”
