Why do dogs have their favorite toys and not all toys like it?

In general, most dogs like toys that mimic their prey. That's why squeaky dog toy and plush toy are often popular with most dogs. Hearing a sharp squeak and tearing a soft stuffed toy can be extremely satisfying to the dog's psyche.

However, dogs are individuals, and even dogs of the same breed will have preferences due to personality differences. Some dogs prefer harder toys that they feel good chewing, some dogs like balls or Frisbees because they find them fun to chase and retrieve, and some dogs don't like toys at all unless their owner is playing a game and they feel bored before spoiling for a toy.

Many people may think their dogs have no interest in toys. When your dog is young, it is best to buy a toy for him. Young dogs are naturally more playful than older dogs. For puppies, small dogs or some older dogs who are not confident, you can try giving them soft plush toys or even toys with real fur. And some dogs just need something new and different to entice them to play!

A dog's preference for toys can change a lot throughout its life. Many puppies enjoy chewing on rubber-type toys when they are teething, while older dogs prefer soft toys that are comfortable to hold and drag. As an adult, your dog may need sturdier toys, such as a sturdy rope, or harder rubber dog toy.

If your dog likes to chew on bad toys, don't leave your dog unsupervised to give him toys. For example, nylon dog toy too hard, can damage your dog's teeth, and sometimes your dog may even eat some of them, which can cause very serious complications and require surgery to remove. Some toys require interaction with the owner, and this applies especially to really plush toys or very soft plush toys. When the game is over, these toys should be placed out of your dog's reach. This will increase the life span of the toy.

Does your dog like toys? Or does he just stay quietly in the corner, like a withdrawn child?
