A method for providing an interactive toy response to a received input enables an electronic toy such as a pet toy to react to interaction with the electronic toy. The electronic toy includes at least one input detection device and at least one interactive output device. A control unit is communicably coupled to the input detection device and to the interactive output device. The surrounding areas of the electronic toy are continuously monitored with the input detection device and an interactive input is received with the input detection device. The interactive input may be a bite, movement, or similar interaction with the electronic toy. The interactive input is sent to the control unit and is processed. An interactive output is executed with the interactive output device. The interactive output may be a sound, a light, a vibration, or movement of the electronic toy.
