How do I get my dog to forget about his favorite toy and play with other toys?

My male dogs has the bone toy that he loves. We got my girl dog first and bought it for her and then 2 weeks later got him and he immediately grabbed that toy and started playing with it. Our girl dog didn't care for it so we just let him have it. Well it's 2 1/2 years later and we can't get him to use other toys, which wouldn't be a big deal if this one wasn't so gross. It's one of those soft sweaky toys that has the carpet like fur on it, and the fur stuff is falling out and most of it is just the mesh that was holding the stuff. I've tried getting him the same bone but new and drying them together to get the smell but every time we tell him to go and get his toy he looks around the house frantically until he finds his bone or if I had put it up until I give it to him. I have tried different types of toys to and he never touches them. This bone must have so much filth and bacteria on it and it's can't be good. Please let me know if you have been in a similar situation and how you got your dog to play with his other toys and forget about his favorite.How do I get my dog to forget about his favorite toy and play with other toys?
You can take away his old toy and wash it while he plays with new ones. If ur dog is really stubborn then put him/her in his cage with new toys, not his old one.How do I get my dog to forget about his favorite toy and play with other toys?
Wash and clean his old toy with the new toy. Or spray that stuff on it that tastes bad that makes him not want to chew it anymore. Eventually he will go to another one.
Just throw it away.. he will forget it sooner or later... Get him a few new toys and let him choose one... FIND one that has squecker in it or flashes.



If you have peanut butter you could smear just a tinsy tinsy bit on it (careful it will leave oilly on it) and toss in crate and sooner or later he will lov eit.

Throw the old one away...
