Hi there! I’m Nicole, the editor-in-chief and one of the writers here at DogVills. I’ve been a dog owner for most of my adult life and a dog lover for much longer than that. I grew up with a wonderful German Shepherd named Jake, who I loved SO much that I named my son after him. When I’m not writing for DogVills or my own site, Pretty Opinionated, I love spending time with my teenager (when he actually lets me) and my Pharaoh Hound, Freya. I’m also an avid reader AND a total TV fanatic.

I found 5 ideas that I can’t wait to try!

DIY Water Bottle Dog Toy

This creative dog toy needs few supplies that I am sure you have already on hand. Your dog will love the crinkling water bottle sound, and it’s definitely less messy than a stuffed toy! I don’t know about you, but my pooches can tear the stuffing out of anything in three seconds flat!
Fleece Dog Tug Toy

When it comes to sewing, I am not very handy. I like that this dog toy is a non-sew one. I’ve actually made a few of these before and they’re super simple. I buy fleece on clearance. My dogs don’t really care what pattern it is, after all!

DIY Toilet Roll Dog Toy

I am sure you have plenty of toilet paper rolls on hand. Why don’t you use them to make a fun toy for your pooch. Better than letting them tear all the paper off the roll themselves!

Easy, Restuffable Dog Toy

This restuffable dog toy is utterly cute. It will be a great addition to your dog’s Christmas stocking. Remember how I said my dogs can tear the stuffing out of anything? Well, at least this one is restuffable, right?  We can just keep restuffing it after our dogs go to bed! Kind of like trick candles!

Dog Food Toy

This is a very creative dog toy. It can be also used as a training toy. It is so easy to make (really, it is, not like ships in a bottle!). The blogger added some training treats (kibble) in the bottle: simple, creative and fun.

Have you ever made a DIY toy for your dog? Which of these 5 Toys to DIY for Your Dog do you want to try first? I think the DIY Water Bottle Dog Toy will be a huge hit with my best friend!
