Does your puppy have LOTS of toys? More toys than he knows what to do with?
Chances are you love your puppy and you've bought him oodles of toys. That's great! Toys help keep your puppy occupied and provide him with objects it's OK to chew on. However, like babies and kids--puppies can get tired of new toys fast.
Don't offer your puppy all his toys at once. Many puppy parents keep a large basket filled with toys. This is fine, but I would recommend rotating the toys every 4-5 days. For a few days offer the puppy only two or three toys to play with. Keep the other toys hidden in a closet.
After the 4 or 5 days are over, put those toys away and bring out a new batch. The puppy will be so excited to see a whole new batch of toys come out! He'll think you just came back from the pet store! This way he will always have a new set of toys to keep him busy (and you'll save some money!)
I still have a box in my laundry room filled with toys my dog Maggie played with when she was a puppy. She still gets excited everytime I bring one out. Perhaps it reminds her of her puppy days!
