I have a 16 week old Mini Pin/Frenchie/Pug mix and her favorite thing is scavenging for sticks and shredding them. She also loves chewing tassels on blankets and shirt tags. Wondering what safe toys or activities others have done for their pups with similar preferences? Also is this puppy behavior/teething that she will mostly outgrow or will she likely always be a stick girl? I don’t mind it as she does well with redirection, just curious.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

1. Paper bags and cardboard boxes - she likes this but it makes a huge mess and shes def eating some so want to limit how often we allow it
2. Nyla bones - she loves the healthy digestible ones but goes through them fast and is meh on the scented ones for chewing
3. Pupsicle - she loves it but feel like I shouldn’t give it to her too often for dietary reasons
4. Toys with strings of fabric - medium success. She gets bored with them fast and would rather sneak something more exciting
