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.

He is pulling out dolls out of the toy box while im at work and not chewing on them. Is he lonesome?
Nope. He sounds bored! I would recommend giving him some appropriate dog toys that he can play with. You can look for puzzle toys where you put some of his kibble in and he has to figure out how to get them out. The everlasting treat toy from the brand starmark is another great recommendation. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/star-mark-everlasting-treat-wheeler

Have a few toys at home but only give 1-2 at a time. Change it out every day for a different set to prevent boredom. You can try kongs or the type of toys that are puzzles and release food every time they figure it out. Instead of bones, invest into water buffalo horns or elk antlers, they are much more durable

My dog Abby is quite playful, what toys would be the best for dogs like her? what toys do dogs prefer and like to play with?
Chewing on toys is a great activity for dogs to help them burn off energy, keep them occupied, and help keep them from chewing on other things in the house that are inappropriate for them to chew on. Dogs have individual preferences for the types of toys they chew on, so it may take a bit of experimenting to find out what Abby likes. Rope toys, soft toys and rubber chew toys are all good options. There are even puzzle toys where you can hide food and that will keep your pup busy trying to get the food out. Avoid any toys that are too hard- you should be able to easily dent the surface with a fingernail, as anything harder than that could lead to fracturing of the teeth. Avoid offering bones, antler, and similar objects for this reason. Always supervise play, and if you notice your dog trying to eat any pieces of the toys, take them away, as the pieces could cause a blockage of the intestines that could lead to the need for surgery to remove it.

Could you suggest some outdoor games other fetch to exercise as well as entertain Mike?
Some dogs enjoy playing the dog equivalent of "hide and seek" where you show them a high value treat or toy while they are inside, hide it outside when they aren't watching, then let them search for it. It can take some training to learn this game, but this is both mentally and physically stimulating for dogs. You mention fetch, but this is always a popular standby. To vary the routine, you can try throwing frisbees, soft toys, or balls. Depending on Mike's attention span, you could also try teaching him some agility activities (i.e. jumping through hoops, going through tunnels, etc.). Take a look at the Dr. Sophia Yin website for some other training ideas that can also be turned into outdoor playtime: https://drsophiayin.com/resources/dog_behavior/#Toys
