Yes, I do! I love the Nina Ottosson puzzle toys for dogs. The dog has to solve a puzzle to get a treat, and there are varying levels of difficulty. Something like this would be great for Conan. I hope this helps.

I am a dog home boarder and have a therapy dog staying but I cannot get her to join in games do therapy dogs play differently any game suggestions - 9 yr old kcspaniel thank you
She is likely a very chilled dog who is more used to interacting in a calm manner with humans. If she doesnt want to play i would just let her do her own thing. She will probably appreciate a bit of fuss from you though.

My dog is only 6, yet she has no interest in toys. She only plays with unused hair ties. We believe she was abused in her past, as we found her in the animal shelter. She was also scared of kitchen utensils and tall men. She is a maltese poodle. Coul
It could be either situation - some dogs are simply not that interested in toys or in playing, similar to how some dogs are not big chewers or don't particularly love to go on walks. It's also possible that she wasn't exposed to toys and never 'learned' how to play. You could focus on other ways to interact with her - perhaps she would excel at simple obedience training, or she may like snuggling under a blanket with you.

I got a 1 year old Lhasa Apso mix 2 days ago. He is super sweet, except when he wants to play he tends to bite, even when I provide toys for him instead. He will ignore the toy at times and go for my hands and arms. He bites to the point that it hurt
It is best if you don't let Toby bite at all, even during play! Even play bites in small dogs with sharp teeth can lead to punctures or bruising on human skin. When you play, always play with a toy, not your hands. That means you also have to refrain from using your hands to tease him, I know it can be hard to resist! If he nips, lightly tap him on the nose, tell him no, then re-direct his attention to a toy that you can play with together, like a squeaky toy or tugging on a rope toy. Stay consistent and eventually he will learn that biting humans is not good; it can take several months of consistency when playing for a young dog to learn. With any toy, make sure that Toby isn't tearing it apart or chewing off pieces that he could swallow!
