He was always lacking in toy drive. Only this past 1-2 months did he really start to want to play and maybe only the past month that he really wants to bite a toy. The cow hide is the only thing that really gets him geeked up. Other toys he'll play for a while then he'll get bored. He'll just suddenly stop even though it looks like he's getting into it. With the cow hide, he's literally searching for it during the day (he's a house dog). I could never tease him with another toy (maybe for like a few min then he'll just ignore it). 1st day on it, he can't hold on to it at all, won't tug too (actually he never really wants to play tug, he'll just grab the toy and lay down and tries to rip it apart). 2nd and 3rd day were really good like I mentioned above. He's finally starting to hold on to it. I really happy with his progress.
