i was really surprised when at guide dogs this last november, they
brought out a bunch of toys such as hard rubber bones and a hard
rubber pull ring. of course, drummer was too proud to play with
such a mere toy but that changed when i got home. i found a neat
tug rope at the pet store. it has a large knot at both ends and is
made of thick rope, percfect for tug of war. i think the schools
are leaning towards toys as apposed to away from them. the main
thing i think is that in the beginning when you get home with the
dog, don't emphasize toys as much until after the first few weeks
at home especially if there are other dogs in the house which could
cause friction relating to the toys... dan
