Any dogs soft toy without a squeaker?

[Inbedbynine]

I’m after a soft toy that doesn’t have a squeaker for pup that’s coming soon. All the shops iv been in they all squeak. Has anyone seen one??

[Kayjay2018]

@Inbedbynine our two love rope toys and antlers. With soft toys they don't seem to last long and I have a steady stream of them in the cupboard for repair at any one time.

The one you that is lasting (and has been played with again tonight) is one that it material and you place an empty plastic water bottle in it. I can't seem to find one like it.

I have seen people make them from old socks

It's very similar to this if not the same (ours is old and faded so hard to tell) we play gently tug of war with this and no problems with the eyes coming lose - they are scratched as anything but sturdy in there as it's a toy intended for children I guess it has to be safe?

[mookinsx]

Not that I know of
Ours is a jack cross but as the runt she never grew huge so even at 2 she's not huge. She's a big chewer and rips other toys apart but once ripped she doesn't fuss about the stuffing and we keep the in stuffed toys for her still.
I'll see if I can find what she has online as an example

mook is it a baby toy?

He’s a mini dachshund so small, and I’m worried about losing him in the dark in the garden at 2am he can’t get anywhere but can see it ending in a game of cat and mouse me swearing under my breath trying to dig him out from under the trampoline in my pjs

Our dog has an old toy that is intended for human use. No squeaker means she has no desire to rip
This one apart. Check for holes and you will soon learn the temperament of your dog
We can't give our dog squeaky toys usually, and some she can't even squeak herself due to her size. A bit bigger than a chihuahua
We have a large toy with thick fabric and it's her favourite toy as she had it for the same reason as a puppy so she has no intent to rip this toy

Some people would leave them. I preferred to take out with no fuss so night was sleeping or peeing but nothing else.

[Inbedbynine]

I’m such a light sleeper I’ll prob be awake all night waiting! So even if he cries as he’s sad take him out?

I’m a member ready on that FB group!

[BiteyShark]

Mine needed to pee in the night and needed to poo very early (4-5am).

I would take him out when he stired or cried, no fuss, no talking etc for a quick toilet break then straight back in the crate. I did this each time as I never wanted him to think toileting in the crate was ok and I didn't use puppy pads either for that reason. I once slept through and he peeded the crate so I know he couldn't hold it all night when he was very little.

[Inbedbynine]

So every time he wakes up in the night I take him out in case he needs a wee? Breeder reckons if I take him late at night and early morning he’ll be ok but I’d rather prepare for the worst!

Baby comforters from asda or similar. Like a teddy head but with a blanket attached.

[ParoxetineQueen]

My terrier will volunteer to de-squeak any toys for you in 10 minutes.

[Wolfiefan]

Mine would sleep through unless she needed a wee. They don’t know to go out very early on so you need to get them outside ASAP when they wake. Then settle them back to sleep afterwards.
There’s a brilliant FB group dog training advice and support that has files on toilet training and bringing a pup home. Really useful.

[pigsDOfly]

If it were me I'd have his crate on the floor.

He'll know you're there beside him and you can always put your fingers into the crate to reassure him if necessary.

[Inbedbynine]

Erm well with my door open, down the stairs and across the kitchen to back door?? How do you know they need a wee as apposed to just lonely in the night??

[Wolfiefan]

Totally up to you. Just one thing about upstairs. You will be doing night time toilet trips. How quickly can you get up and out? They don’t give you much warning.

[Inbedbynine]

Thabks will look on pet face, o was going to try one of those things on amazon, the kong thingy.

[Inbedbynine]

I’d love to sleep with him on the sofa but don’t want to make a rod for my own back! He will always be allowed to sleep upstairs and in my room if he wants, just not on my bed.

Should I put his crate on my bedside table so he’s my head height or on the floor? His crate is quite small as he’s a small breed.

[Wolfiefan]

Next to you sounds great. I couldn’t get my enormous pup safely upstairs so had to sleep on the kitchen floor!
A hand or finger through the bars or your voice will let pup know they’re not alone. That’s the best comfort of all. Good luck.

[alteredHalfling]

Kong sell a Snugga Wubba not noise loads of sizes the aqua version has not noise too, my dog goes too nutts with squeker toys

[Iltavilli]

Petface have some good options especially for smaller dogs. You can get them at fetch.co.uk so they’ll bring them with your shopping if you’re an Ocado customer (or just bring them quickly in their own van like a supermarket shop if not)

[Inbedbynine]

I’m going to put him beside my bed I’m his crate so that I’m right next to him? I don’t want him in my bed, plus he won’t be able to get up on it himself anyway and I’d worry about him falling off as it’s a high divan.

[Wolfiefan]

I slept by mine to start with. To crate train properly takes time. So to start off with puppy needs to be with you.

[Inbedbynine]

Oh I love that!!! Breeder said I don’t need a heat pack so I guess I could take it out. A lot of money though!

[OverFedStanley]

If you have a lot of spare cash. These are good for puppies to snuggle up to, they have a heartbeat to comfort the puppies

snuggle puppies

Or you could stuff an old sock with an old t towel or other old socks.

The fleece blanket will be perfect for overnight.
