She has so many toys lol. She gets lots of outside time in the yard with her tie out. I haven't been taking her or my beagle to the park because they have been picking up parasites left and right and I need to get it all straightened out before I'll be comfortable taking them places where other dogs have been. They're on medicine for it and it seems to be working pretty well, but their digestion is wrecked. They get probiotics and special meals. My vet said it may take a while for them to get back to normal. My beagle also just got diagnosed with active lyme and started antibiotics for it, which isn't going to help his belly any.
I try to make their toys new and interesting. I made one of their balls into a tetherball by attaching it to a doorknob with some string The dogs go to it occasionally lol.
She needs more walks outside into interesting places where she can see new things and smells etc. The best way to deal with this is tiring her out with significant physical activity. Swimming is good and she should like that for her breed. Just being tied on a lead all day by herself in the same old yard is not enough. They don’t need to go to an actual dog park, but they need real walks!!
Also, golden doodles are known to be stubborn idiots.
Not park time or off leash time, your dog needs leashed walking through the neighborhood with you. Walk circles around a nearby school or weave through the streets and do "focus" training with her to bond.
We had a dog that liked balls, but when we put a ball inside a sock, he went absolutely bananas. He flipped that thing around the house and yard for hours! Then he carried it off to his bed and slept with it. Try putting a tennis ball inside of a sock.
That's a great idea! My dogs love chomping on plastic, so I can put water bottles and grocery bags in a sock as well.
