Quelle est la différence entre les jouets d'interactions et d'occupations ?

What is the difference between interaction and activity toys?

How do you differentiate them?

Indeed, recognizing these two categories will allow you to better choose your dog's toys.

Interaction toys

These are all toys that allow you to play with your dog, and thus have fun with him, like your rope, a ball, a frisbee.

Occupational toys

These are all toys that will keep your dog busy, without you. Most of the time, these are chew toys.

Why differentiate them?

When your puppy arrives home (this is also true for your dog), it is important to make him understand the difference between his two toys so that he can become independent later on.
When you are away, remove your dog's interaction toys so that he can only play with his activity toys.
When you come back, represent a rope for example to help him evacuate his stress, his excitement. In addition to helping him to discharge by playing, the interactive game will allow you to build a strong bond with your dog.
You can also use these to train your dog through games!

Over time, the dog will understand on its own that to relieve its stress independently, it can relieve itself with its occupation toys.

The different forms of occupation toys

Chew toys , stuffed toys , licking mats, you can find activity toys in different forms!

At Sako & Co you can find all of its toys, to make your absences pleasant and stimulating in the eyes of your dog. So many diverse and varied shapes, thus facilitating everyone's tastes!

In addition to helping your puppy manage his emotions, you allow him not to cut his teeth on your furniture. You then avoid potential conflict with the latter. He will then be able to grow up in the best possible way.

Be careful when you give your dog his toys for the first time, observe his behavior to avoid possible ingestion of his toys in the wrong way.

Up to you !
