Dogs are naturally playful creatures, and bringing a toy is a way of inviting their owner to play with them.
Some dogs may bring a toy as a way of training their owner to play with them or give them treats.
If the dog is bringing the toy to play, be sure to praise them and play with them.
If the dog is not ready to give up the toy, don't force them. This could make them feel anxious or stressed.
If the dog is bringing the toy to you as a way of showing affection, don't take the toy away. This could make them feel like you are rejecting them.
If the dog is bringing the toy to you as a way of asking for a treat, offer them a treat. This will help them to associate bringing the toy with positive things.
If the dog is bringing the toy to you as a way of relieving boredom or anxiety, try to redirect their attention to something else, such as a walk or a game.
