New Toys.
About a week before Snow White left for heaven, I decided to get some durable toys and training tools to keep Xiao Bi occupied and to start training her. I browse through the internet and found this Kong toy. The toys claimed to be made from natural rubber and guaranteed to satisfy the hard chewers.
I checked around at local pet stores and can’t seem to be able to find any. I finally found an online store and purchased from them, together with a clicker for training.The package arrived about a week later (which was quite long, but anyway). These were what included.
The Kong toy. I chose the Classic Kong at large size.
You can stuff treats inside to lure your dog. I stuffed treats inside. The thing will bounce and bounce when the dog plays with it.

And finally, the clicker. Clicker is an reinforcement tool used to reinforce good behaviour from a dog. I’ve tried several times and it seems to work, although in a rather slow pace. I’ll blog more about it later.
