Hello, all! I am the proud momma of a one-year-old dachshund. His name is currently Cheddar, but maybe I should have named him Chewy?
I am on here today to ask opinions of toys for head-strong, extremely intelligent dachshunds (so, all dachshunds, basically). This is not my first dachshund, but it is the first one that I've owned without owning another dachshund.
Anyway, Cheddar is extremely smart. So smart, in fact, that I bought him a "treat hiding toy" and it took him two tries over a span of three days to figure out how to do it in under a minute. Haha. I was NOT expecting that. He is now bored with it, and I'm at a loss.
Can anyone recommend some other treat hiding toys? Maybe ones at a more difficult level? I will post a picture of his current toy. I bought it at Petco.
The second "issue" I'm having is finding something that he can't chew through. I've never seen a dog with such strong jaws and such a passion for chewing. He can DESTROY a Nylabone in 30 minutes or less.
Can anyone suggest some other chews that might last longer under such strenuous use?
Any and all help is appreciated. Anything that I have not answered, I will answer if you ask. I wasn't sure what all info was needed to help me figure this out. Thank you in advance, y'all!
