Poor Scooter! It sounds like he had a hard life before he came to live with you. Many dogs who grew up in environments without toys don't really know how to play - but often, they can learn to get better at this over time :) If the other dogs like to play with toys, I would suggest playing fetch or tug with them when Scooter is around - many shy dogs will eventually get up the courage to give it a try themselves, and will figure out what to do with the toys by watching the other dogs.

Great question! Many dogs of any age enjoy enrichment toys that are either balls that bounce unpredictably or puzzle toys that release small treats. Peanut and his friend are still pretty agile, a good game of fetch or playing "hide and seek" with a toy can be a lot fun for everyone. These websites have some good examples of enrichment toys, but plenty of puzzle toys can also be found on Amazon or in pet stores: https://www.ottoenvironmental.com/toys-3?pagenumber=5 https://www.czs.org/custom.czs/media/CenterAnimalWelfare/Orangutan-Husbandry-Manual/Enrichment/Enrichment-manufacturers-suppliers.pdf Have fun playing! :-)

Like anything some toys from China are absoloutely fine whilst others can be dangerous. The issue being regulations ate limited. If you are worried I would be safe and buy toys made in the US which will be better regulated.

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.

Hi there. Sugar sounds like a very sweet girl. It seems to me that she really does like her banana toy. As long as she isn't guarding her toy or acting possessive - i.e. growling or snarling when someone tries to take the toy, or becoming aggressive when someone approaches - I think that is fine that she's found a toy that she likes. Just make sure too that she doesn't chew it into pieces and swallow the pieces. I'd pay close attention to her when the baby is nearby to make sure she doesn't act aggressive if the baby crawls toward her, etc. Introduce them slowly. Dogs will definitely get jealous and feel left out with babies around because they do get less attention. Some things to try to make Sugar feel content and happy are Kong toys, or other treat dispensing toys, like a pickle pocket. She can be safely gated in her own area of the house where no one can bother when the baby comes to visit and get a special treat or just one of her meals this way. The treat dispensing toys will als
