Dogs are genetically hardwired to chase things down, catch and even eat them sometimes. Toys, in my opinion, kind of pacify and satiate that urge in dogs.
So, if you are searching for a way to engage your dog, here are some simple DIY toys you can make for your furry friend.
How To Make a DIY T-shirt Dog Toy?
Materials you’ll need:
- A pair of scissors
- Two used t-shirts
Instructions on how to make a DIY t-shirt dog toy:
Step 1: You can begin by cutting small 2-3 inches wide slits at the very base of the two t-shirts.
Step 2: Once you’ve cut the wide slits, rip along the slit and you’ll see the t-shirt will have the perfect strips of fabric.
Step 3: Now, arrange all the t-shirt strips together and tie off one end. Then, try to divide all the strips into thirds and braid them properly.
Step 4: Once you’ve braided them together and even at the other end, attach them at the bottom and trim any straggling t-shirt strips.

So, I really hope that I can work this out.” – From N
“I love playing pull with my dog. Minute for minute it’s quite possibly the most genuinely and intellectually debilitating games there is. What’s more, the uplifting news is on the off chance that you don’t have a pull toy at home you can without much of a stretch make your own with a piece of rope and tennis ball. But, this is the first time I found that you can actually make a dog toy with t-shirts. Plus, I find it really easy and simple to make. (JINX!) – From Anonymous
How To Make a DIY Muffin Tin Hide and Seek Game?
Materials you’ll need:
- A dozen tennis balls
- A standard muffin tin (I would strongly recommend the use of silicon muffin tins)
- Dog treats
Instructions on how to make a DIY muffin tin hide and seek game:
Step 1: You start by getting your muffin tin ready by making sure it is perfectly clean. Then, you can start breaking all your dog’s favorite treats into a few small pieces. You can then proceed by placing some of them in the muffin tin (just go for it randomly).
Step 2: Now, it’s time to put the tennis balls in the muffin cups to cover the treats you placed earlier and hide them from your dog’s sight.
Step 3: Once you’ve put the muffin tin right in front of your dog, let him take his time and sniff around. You’ll see that as soon as he realizes his favorite treat is hiding right under the ball, he’ll figure out a way to knock the tennis ball out and gobble up the yummy treat!
