What works for the Finnish Spitz
- Frisbees + retrieve toys. High-energy dogs need fetchable toys you can throw 30 m. Soft-edge frisbees protect teeth on hard catches.
- Rotate toys. Dogs habituate to toys in a week. Keep 4–6 in circulation, swap weekly — they "feel new" again.
- Always supervise tug + chew. Even "indestructible" toys eventually fail; supervise and replace at the first crack.
