While he was weaned, the puppy plays with his littermates, and toys are not necessary. They even uninteresting, and perhaps dangerous. From the age of 6 to 8 weeks, he starts to get interested in toys. Almost all will do so until it can be swallowed or cause injury. Puppies enjoy pulling things, shakes things, carrying things around in your mouth, and as soon as they are able to run without tripping, they enjoy chasing things. This is the time to purchase your favorite rubber ball.
not just any ball, especially in the soft foam rubber type (which can be chewed to bits and swallow), and not the children's inflatable ball that can punch with its sharp teeth, baby. Buy him hard rubber ball that is too large to be swallowed, but small enough for him to hold comfortably in your mouth. Buy it, and all your toys in the store, not the toy store, there is a difference in the type of material used.
can provide a larger dog to use a tennis ball, but never give any dog a golf ball. Golf balls can be swallowed some of the larger breeds, and they all contain poisonous liquid core. Never give the puppy stuffed animals, or objects made of painted wood or plastic slab. Avoid toys like real household items such as gloves or shoes, unless you're willing to face the consequences of him going after the real thing. Although children can be warned against placing harmful objects in their mouth, dogs are required to pick up everything with their mouths.
When the puppy is separated from his littermates, he is missing them intensively in the first place. Best replacement for his team-mates are a few toys, (one is enough), with whom he can play alone, with children or with you.
Try to schedule regular daily playtime. Never immediately after a meal, because he needs to secure proper digestion, and never after a long period of confinement, because the thrill of playing will make him want to urinate. Before the meal was good, and before going to sleep too, but only if he is given the opportunity to empty your bladder before retiring for the night. Regardless of the time, 10 or 15 minutes to devote to play with your puppy will be a high spot of his time.
During a puppy's teething period of time (3-7 months, more or less), you should give him chew toys digestible rawhide, or, better yet, gentle nylon bones of appropriate size. They will keep him occupied for hours on end. They will also prevent a lot of destruction. When you place him gnawing on a chair or table leg, it is much more effective to say "NO" and immediately offer him an alternative to chew bone or a ball.
biting and chewing are perfectly natural and instinctive trait of all dogs. Trying to suppress this activity for a scolding, and not offering an alternative to the useless. At the time of teething, it is not only obsessive, but also very practical to separate the child's teeth to make way for the permanent. As a child, your puppy will become attached to his old toys to those, at least it is not destroyed or lost. But as he grows bigger, you should think of replacing them with other more suitable for his size and strength.
