Thanks everyone, lots of good advice. I did get a few more toys for him. One we found was a stuffed cow that moos. He has gone nuts over this cow. After first he was scared of it but once he discovered it will not attack him first he was all over it last night. I will video it to show you. Hilarious! at least to his mommy and daddy.
As for the kong, we bought him one and he really doesn't like it too much. One of the dog trainers at Petco said to fill it with a mixture of peanut butter and rice, freeze it for about an hour then give it to him. He said Faro would love it then. What do you all think? Is there a better filling that I should use. I would like for him to use it since so many people on the forums swear by them.
As for the frozen marrow bones do you mean get a soup bone from the grocery store and freeze or is this a doggie treat I am as yet unfamiliar with??? (Totally possible since Faro is my first dog as an adult.) I believe I have seen the yogurt treats though and will give them a try to.
I have also just refused to let him chew on me. He seems to escalate whenever he does that so I firmly say no and put him off the couch or distract him with another toy.
Anyway I know that these questions do not belong on the welcome board and will try to post these in the training section. have lots of training questions. Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and advice.
