Hello!
The first sentence is correct because the singular subject matches the singular verb; however, you need to capitalize "your."
Your dog likes chew toys.
Have a great day!

Hi,
Both sentences are incorrect.
Although, with singular noun pural verb is used and vice versa. For eg. he likes, he does and they like, they do etc.
Your dog likes chewing toys or Your dog likes to chew toys may be correct.

Hi, John Stuart -- Did you read the post above yours?
"Your dog likes chew toys" is fine. "Chew toys" is a noun in this case, not a verb. "Your dog likes to chew toys" is also a correct sentence, but it means something different.
What kind of toys does the dog like? The dog likes chew toys.
What does the dog likes to chew? --or -- What does the dog like to do with toys?
