Some dogs love to spend hours trying to get the peanut butter out of the Kong. Others would prefer to behead a stuffed cat and tear out the stuffing. For dogs who care, toys play an important role and determining which toys are right for your dog can take a moment of thought. On this week's "Good Dog" podcast, Janet Velenovsky, Training & Behavior Education Manager for Premier Pet Products, tells us all about dog toys and products that can aid in the training process. We demonstrate one such product - the MannersMinder™ remote-controlled reward system - which can be helpful in training a dog not to jump up on guests or beg at the table.
