So the CraftGossip head office is now the proud owner or a Labradoodle puppy Aloo_the_labradoodle and that has, of course, lead us on the DIY for your pet’s path. We have come across so many different ideas for DIY activities for making activities to stimulate your puppy or dog. We have learned very quickly that a bored puppy leads to a naughty puppy. There are lots of DOG IQ style toys
on the market but being frugal and a DIY’er I knew we had to try and make our own too.
This DIY Dog toy roundup even has a tennis ball style dog kong
that you can make yourself at home with a basic tennis ball.
