YT Addict | Yorkies And Toys We took Bruno to both Petco and Petsmart yesterday. When I tried to find him toys to play with he showed no interest in any of them. Does anyone else have a little older yorkies who don't play with toys?? I'm guessing it's because he is already 2 yrs old and just doesn't like them |

| My yorkie loves toys but he's too distracted by other things in Petsmart than to play with him. You need to purchase one and take it home to determine if he has an interest or not. |

| Haruka loves toys.. but she doesn't really get excited at pet shop and doesn't tell me which one she would like... But if I bring one home.. she plays with it happily.

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | Morgan wasn't thrilled with toys or chewie things. She'd play with something if i was playing with her but she wouldn't play on her own. However, now that i got a puppy a month ago morgan wants to play with everything the puppy is playing with. they play all the time with toys and each other.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I think this is something a puppy likes to do more than an older dog, but if you are involved in the game older dogs enjoy some toys too. Joey like squeaky toys, tug of war, and chase me mommy. Some people say that toys you can put food into interest their dogs. Joey likes to chew on Merrick Bully Sticks, and it's one of his favorite activities, they are hard to find locally, and I buy them online. .

| Topper doesn't play with toys either. I chalk it up to him being a kennel dog that wasn't played with for the first 16 months of his life. Since I have had him he will take a toy and carry it in his mouth to his bed or he will chew on things like rubber bathtub plugs, toilet paper rolls, cat's stuffed mouse but he doesn't care to play fetch or tug of war with a toy.

| Otis isn't a toy dog, but he loves his bully sticks. I wondered for the longest time if there was something wrong with him cause he never played with toys. Nope, he just doesn't care for them.

| Gracie and Spike love, LOVE toys but they've played with them since they were puppies. I got Sugar when he was 17 months and he hadn't been as exposed to them and has never really figured out how to play with them. He's 3 1/2 now so I don't think he's going to change. Every once in a while he'll grab a toy and run with it and I'll cheer, run Sugar! and he looks so proud of himself. Spike and Gracie just stare- they have no idea what to do since it's so rare for him to get playful.
