This is the same thing they said about children's toys, and putting toys away for a while does seem to spark a new interest. This seems to work when they are toddlers, any younger, and everything is always "new" to them, and much older, they get mad when they can't find a favorite toy. I keep some of Joey's toys in a closed basket, and occasionally open the basket for him to see the "new" things. He gets excited for a while to see the new things; but I think it has more to do with his scent being on them. He doesn't get excited for long enough for me to usually leave these out, and put his favorites in the closed basket. I keep his favorites a really large dog bed/comforter, and some in several open baskets, and he seems to enjoy dig through the baskets to find things. Mostly, he likes the toys where we interact with him. If we seem interested in a toy, he's interested. |
