Hi hi! Usually I post pictures, but I actually have a question now. I want to get more toys for my puppy space. I have a bone from JetPup and a stuffed bat, but I want more variety. I like to chew on things, and want to find things that would be safe for human teeth! It’s also kinda hard to find in general, so i would love shop recommendations if anyone has!

As the title says, I'm really new to this, and while I find it very enjoyable, I don't actually know I'm sure how to play with my pup. She seems to be enjoying it too, but I've noticed she likes it when I'm a bit rougher, and I don't know how to do that safely. Like, when we're at the park she will jump up and down a bit, strike a pose and sort-of lunge at me without actually play-biting or anything. We usually end up sort-of spinning around one another but that's kind of it. Does she want me to play-fight with her? I've seen other people do that but I don't know how to do it in a way that's both entertaining and safe for her. She also likes to bite the leash and pull it, but I immediately stop that, because I don't want her to think the leash is a toy. Should I bring other toys to the park, so that we can play tug-of-war safely? Also, she is my mom's dog and I'm only taking care of her for a few days, so I don't want to teach her to be too rough for my mom to actually handle her. She is an 8 month-old Australian shepherd mix, btw

Im trying to figure out my pup name and am wondering how everyone came up with theirs? Or any ideas/inspo! 🐺
