Help! We are getting our little Golden baby in a couple of weeks and we've been out of the doggie loop for several years. I'm looking for some really great teething and training toys for him. We will be training him for SAR. I've seen so many great ones on this site and I'm just wondering what any of you folks have found is the best. Thanks!

Are you also asking about marker training rewards?
As I mentioned before I love kongs for puppies, you can fill it with anything from yogurt to puppy food soaked in water to ground up hamburger meat and then freeze it so that it not only lasts longer but it feels good on those tender teething puppy gums.
Buster cubes are great, fun but noisy on hard floors, the twist and treat does the same thing without all the noise. They aren't so good for chewing on but can keep your pup busy.

Yes; whether it's potty training or SAR training or sit/stay/heel; I want to find something that dogs are crazy about. I know they each have their own tastes but I was wondering if there's anything out there that's tried and true. I'll pick up a kong at the PetsMart; should I just get a little one for now?
All are great tiny reward sizes. Grizzly Nu is a different texture. A combo makes a very nice "mixed bag" of training rewards that I like to use in this: http://leerburg.com/736.htm
Look at how you can snap it open and have it in an open or closed position, and how there is a flat front pocket for your keys, etc. I use this thing all the time. You can wear it with the pouch in back, too, more hidden for keeping your reward hand neutral (mine strays towards the rewards if the pouch is in front, and so do the dog's eyes).
Teething toys can be as simple as a washcloth/rag dipped in water or broth then frozen. (You just have to watch your dog when he has this so he doesn't chew off peices of cloth and swallow them). Frozen whole carrots and bananas can be good too, but not too often.
My pups had a "puppy kong" that they never touched... but some dogs like them.
My dogs ALL love the Fantastic ball. http://leerburg.com/1166.htm They're made by Triple Crown, float, are VERY durable, yet soft, and are made in colours that dogs can see (dogs are red/green colourblind). They are great for puppies.
I did the washcloth trick too, sometimes even small stuffed animals dipped in broth and then frozen.
I wouldn't get the tiny kong, I would choose one your pup will be able to use as he/she grows. I always have at least two per dog so I can rotate them and have one in the freezer all the time.
Like a kong you can fill this with pretty much anything, freeze it or not and let them have it - loads of fun for them especially while they are in their crate.
This looks stupid but Kaiser will lay there and chew on this for a long while.
I've also given him bully sticks to chew on but when the portion size gets too small - where I think he could possible try to swallow it and it get stuck - I take it away and then it finds a new home in the trash.
