One last tip: When you make toys for a real dog, pull your stitches nice and tight and skip the safety eyes — you don't want your pup to chew them off. Some people swap a tennis ball for a rubber ball, because tennis-ball fuzz can be rough on dog teeth. And always watch your dog while they play with a homemade toy. Now grab your hook and have fun! 🐾
