Least favorite toy

Have you ever bought a really nice toy for your dog only to find out that he doesn't like it? My Homer is quite picky when it comes to toys and he ignores many of them. But the biggest disappointment was when we bought him a Frisbee. I was very excited because I was sure that it will make him very happy! Unfortunately, he doesn't want to play with it at all
How about your dogs? What is your dog's least favorite toy?

 

Oh yes! You just never know what will be a hit and what won't. I have a bag of toys that are the cast offs. Usually, I end up giving them to my brother for his dogs.

She has two stuffed animals, a turtle and an octopus. She loves stuffed animals. She refuses to play with either.

Then, she has a couple vinyl squeak toys. She won't touch vinyl toys at all.

It'd be an interesting study to see why dogs love or hate certain toys.

 

Dogs are like children in many ways . They have their likes and dislikes - often without any special reason I guess.
Homer has a soft ball for dogs but he never plays with it even though it was a gift from my father whom Homer loves. I suspect that it's a little too big for his small jaws.

 

Misha loves big stuffed animals. Her squirrel and hedgehog are almost the same size as she is. But, like Homer, some toys are just too big for her to get mouth around. My Mom bought her this alligator that squeaked very loudly. Misha couldn't get her mouth around it. I'm glad though. It was very noisy. I gave that one to my brother's dogs.

I guess they like certain textures, tastes, and smells. As I said, Misha avoids vinyl toys. Maybe she doesn't like the way it feels in her mouth.

 

Frisbee. Homer doesn't enjoy playing? Have you thrown it to someone else and played keep it off Homer? I'm sure he will get so jealous he will want it.


Mishka seems to enjoy playing with all the toys she has been given as long as we are a part of the game. The only one she does by herself is the activity ball filled with treats. When it's empty she would rather encourage someone to play soccer.

 

I only tried to play fetch with him. Making him jealous by playing with somebody else actually may work. He loves stealing things, it's one of his favorite activities . He is my cute, little thief

 

I tried to introduced a stuffed toy to him, a dog stuffed toy. Instead that he likes it, he is scared with it even it was just too small compared to him.

 

He is scared of the stuffed toy dog? It's more than cute
My Homer has always ignored all stuffed toys, he couldn't care less about them.
It reminds me...some time go I showed him my old Furby. Homer was raging when he saw it, he wanted to attack it

 

Can a dog start to like toys late in life? My dog used to be my elderly relative's outdoor guard dog and I don't think he was properly socialized or given toys.
He doesn't seem to be interested in toys.

Can you teach a cute little 10 pound rat terrier to play when he was formerly living outside to be used as a barking alarm for an old woman?

 

I'm not an expert, but I think that it's possible. I'm pretty sure that every dog loves chasing thigs, it's a natural instinct. So try to play fetch with him, maybe he will enjoy it My Homer also likes when I pretend that I want to steal his toys He is always very proud if I let him win
