Obi Tries Toys

It usually takes a dog a few weeks to relax and feel at home enough to really play with the toys. Of course this differs from dog to dog but when they are anxious like Obi can be, they tend to take longer.

I was very excited today when I saw that he had grabbed the new toy from the Barkbox. He didn't really play with it that much, Instead he sat with it but he did chew on a Nylabone toy.

Chima tried her standard move of slowly moving into his space until he gets up and moves so she can get the toy. It works for her every time (except with Sal) so I had to call her off and get her distracted with the other Barkbox toy. I want to make sure he feels relaxed enough to continue playing and sometimes we pet parents need to intervene to help out dogs who might be getting "bossed."
