HI everyone! Questions about some chew toys. Bogey has NO interest in stuffed animals, plastic toys, squeekies, etc. There is one nylabone that his likes but it holds his interest for only a few minutes.
Are the Nylabone Healthy Edibles ok?
Are those chewable "Dental Sticks" ok? Greenies?
I have a large white rawhide bone( I know, I know, but hear me out) that Bogey gets ONLY when I am sitting on the couch, and he comes and sits in my lap and will gnaw on that thing for over an hour! It is the ONLY chew toy that will keep him occupied and actually calms him down. It is as hard as a rock because it is so big, so I know to get rid of it as soon as he gets some corners soft. This is just for our "cuddle time".
I have tried the frozen marrow bones- nope- he likes them for 5 minutes. That's it.
I did coat the nylabone with honey last night because I could not sit with him with the rawhide, and that seemed to hold him a little longer.
Any other suggestions??
It's a daily challenge to keep him occupied and NOT BITING ME!!!
On the good note- he sits on command, and is mastering the "down" command! He will "shake paw" and is getting pretty good with my getting his attention when he is focused on something. We are working on "look at me", and he LOVES to grab the morning paper after his first potty run of the morning! It is pretty torn by he time it gets to the house, but we are working on that!
He had his 11 week check yesterday- he is very healthy and now weighs 15.7 pounds! They think he is going to be a big boy! (His daddy was big).
Despite the devil in him when we least expect it, he is such a joy to both of us! He is an instant magnet to people, and LOVES to greet strangers and other dogs. And kids, he just LOVES them! Thank God for my 10 year old twin neighbors who run him ragged!
As for walking, well that is a work in progress. We live in a 30 unit circle of homes. We have to CARRY him to the halfway point, and then he will joyfully walk back home! Ya gotta love him!
Have a great weekend!!
