| Bored Yorkie..what are your favorite games to play with your furbabies? Piper has SO much energy at 8 months! We go for walks twice a day (weather permitting). We play fetch inside a lot (I don't have a yard). We play tug games. And I have no idea now what else to do. She's SO energetic! I'm trying to come up with tricks or just little games to engage her with because she is always on the move! She's got enough energy for 5 dogs. I'm looking into doggie daycare presently...one that will specialize in small dogs. I want to send her a couple of times a week because she just loves to play. But, aside from daycare, I need some suggestions for playtime at home. So...what are some games/tricks/activities your babies like? My thought is that if I keep her occupied she will be more apt to stay out of trouble. I swear, having a Yorkie is so much like having a toddler. :-) |

| Lil' Miss Izzie loves to play Hide n Seek.....I tell her to sit n stay in the kitchen while I hide a few of her toys in the living room, then I will call her and tell her to go find a specific toy....she goes nuts trying to find out where I put it....but I am quickly running out of hiding places as she is finding them all....

| Brooklyn will play fetch forever. He likes Kongs filled with treats. He and the cat play together a lot too. Britney just prefers laying in my lap.

| Chase !! I pretend I'm after his toy & chase him. He runs forever through the dining room & through the house waiting for me to catch him wherever he is. He wears me out trying to get his toy he's carrying.

| We play hide and seek with our two babies. Usually I have hubby wait upstairs with them and then I hide somewhere downstairs. Then we get them excited to "go find Mommy!!!!" and they tear down the steps and search for me, then when they find me we all dance around...they are really good at it! Wow, just realized that if I mentioned this to someone "outside of Yorkie world", they might think I was a bit coo-koo!!!

| Charlie & Oliver play fetch forever too! It just goes on and on....They start both trying to fetch the same toy. They both race after it and each take an end in their mouth and bring it back to me. Charlie gets sick of that after a while and goes back to their toybox and gets his own toy. I guess he thinks Oliver is slowin' hiim down! |

| The boys like their squeaky toys and will play fetch with them. They also love Amber's krackle jax toys, twist and treat, hide-a-squirrel, basically anything they have to dig stuff out of. Otherwise they sleep, or sit in the window waiting for stuff to go by to bark at.

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Ah, that brings back memories. I remember thinking Eddie would never get over that stage. Fortunately, he started mellowing out at about a year. He still has a lot of energy, but a couple walks a day make a difference. You might try some more brain games. They tend to tire them out too. Teach some basics. Sit. Down. Stay. Then come up with some tricks. Shake. Roll over. Whatever. If you spend 5 minutes three times a day, they'll learn a lot, have fun and tire themselves out to boot. Check into an obedience class too. We also play chase games, but it's hard to beat fetch. You get to sit while they do all the running.

| Rusty likes to play Mouse Under the Covers Rusty loves to play Mouse Under the Covers... after we eat our evening meal, he will sit and whine for me to follow him, and he goes and jumps on the bed. I stick my hand under the covers and move it around like a mouse. Rusty leaps, jumps, pounces on the mouse and play bites it, while I move the mouse around under the covers. He play growls or digs etc, just like my hand was a real mouse. I think he knows it is only my hand but you never know.

| Buddy will sometimes fetch a ball 3 times, then he loses interest, wont play on his own very often, need interation, why i dont know, but I have found something he does like, old card mediciene box, empty of course, put a few treats in and depending on the ends, I either seal with a little tape or leave, then give it to him, the enjoyment he gets trying to get to his favourite treats, as they rattle about, he loves it

| Isabella & Masten Isabella love to fetch. I made the mistake of buying the small tennis balls for her. Very easy for her to handle since she is so small-5lbs. The problem is she drops them and under the sofa they go. She will stand and stare at me until I get down on my hands and knees and get them for her. Masten has a rooster that he loves. The minute I get home he runs and gets Rooster and plays with it all evening. He will spend an hour running around the house with Rooster. |
