My dog always wants to play with a towel or a sock. I discourage this, so I bought her a little stuffed monkey. It has long, thin arms and its belly squeaks. She won't play with it.
How do you know what your dog will like?How do you choose a toy for your dog?
You have started in the right direction, don't allow them to play with clothes or towels.
Places like Petsmart (and most other pet supply stores) allow you to take your dog in and shop. This sometimes doesn't yield the best results because many dogs are nervous because of all the hubub in such places. Go anyway, it's good for socialization.
There is a period of trial and error with most dogs where you buy different types of toys. Some may go unplayed with for years. We have a nylabone that has sat in our living room toy box for years and our 4 month old pup recently showed interest in it. Wouldn't ya know that all of the sudden the older dogs in the house ALL want that bone that they have ignored their entire lives.
Good Luck!How do you choose a toy for your dog?
I let him choose. We'll go into Petsmart and I'll show him a couple of toys, then he goes for the one he really wants. I'll ask him pick the one you like more, and he'll look between them and choose. lol.
take your dog to the store you will buy the toy from, and see which one she likes the most
