My wife isn’t that much toy orientated. She’s more about food which is an issue as she is now not the perfect weight for her race. I really want to use toys to bond with her more as I feel our bond is food.

I’ve reduced her treats and put her on a low calorie food, now I’m trying to think of ways to get her more exercise.

She has a rabbit and sheep skin tug but she doesnt really like them as much as I would thought she would. Sometimes I bring them out and she ignores them. Though once she gets into a game of tug, when she decides to, she loves it.

She loves fur. The two tugs are made of rabbit and sheep fur. She doesn’t have any issue playing with both like losing grip or anything.

Now I could get, in a few months, a fur covered tug that has a pocket for treats. Would this work for her? I’ve already left her rabbit tug in a box of sprats which didnt work as well but she played with it even with dogs around on the field today. It took a while as she was so distracted. She got praise throughout the whole ordeal.

Any tips or tricks to help build her drive up for toys? I’m playing with her in the morning where she has most energy. I’m also going to rotate both toys every 2 days so she has something different, is this the right way to go?
