When to use a bully stick?

A bully stick is a type of dog chew made from the dried pizzle of a bull. It is a long, thick, and sturdy chew toy that can keep even the most determined dog entertained. While they are safe for dogs to chew on, it is important to supervise your dog while they are chewing on a bully stick, or any other treat/chew!

Here are some tips on when to use a bully stick:

  • Give your dog a bully stick when they are in a good mood and behaving well. This will help them associate the bully stick with positive feelings!
  • Start by letting them chew on the end of the bully stick for a short period of time. Gradually increase the amount of time they are allowed to chew on it.
  • Make sure to praise your dog when they are chewing on the bully stick appropriately!
  • Utilize them when you are looking for a bit of quiet time.
