Hey Reader,

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably bought your fair share of “must-have” puppy toys… ropes, squeakers, tennis balls, plush animals, you name it.

You bring them home, expecting your puppy to lose their mind over the new squeaky duck… and instead, they run right past it to chew on your shoelace.

Here’s the thing your puppy isn’t telling you… Their favorite toy isn’t the one with the loudest squeak or the fanciest packaging.

It’s you.

Your voice.
Your attention.
Your time.

Sure, toys are fun.
​
They provide enrichment, help with teething, and burn off energy.
​
But the heart of your puppy’s happiness, the thing that truly lights them up, is interaction with you.
​
When you play tug, when you toss the ball, when you kneel on the floor and let them climb into your lap, that’s when the magic happens.

That’s also why here, before our puppies ever leave for their forever homes, we build their world around meaningful interaction. We don’t just hand them a pile of toys and call it enrichment.
​
We sit with them.
We play structured games.
​
We introduce them to new textures, sounds, and smells, with us right there, guiding them through it.

By the time they go home, they’ve learned that humans are safe, fun, and worth trusting. And that’s the real “toy” they’ll carry with them forever… the bond.

TRUTH BOMB: You don’t need to be a professional trainer to keep that bond growing.

You just need to be present. Five minutes of fetch before dinner. A few training reps while you’re watching TV. Letting them curl up next to you while you answer emails. It’s the together part that matters most.

So, yes → keep the squeaky duck. But remember that you are, and always will be, their favorite.
