It's called "Find It".
I took some of his kibble that was left behind from breakfast and hid
two pieces of it while I made him sit. Not far from him so he could see
me. I told him to "Find It'. He looked at me and I had to encourage him
then he knew what I ment. He did find it and then we started again.
This time I hid it a little farther. That was yesterday. This am I had
him sit and hid the kibble in another room. I told him to Find It and
off he went. He sniffed around and was very excited understanding
there was food somewhere. LOL Took him a couple of minutes but he
found it. He seemed to really enjoy the challange and we will continue
and make it harder as we go. You can do this with food, treats or even
a surpise toy from time to time.
Try it your yorkie might enjoy it too. |
All of my babies know what "Find the toy" or if I tell them to find each other like I will be looking for Blaine he loves to nap under my couch and I will ask Sabrina or one of the other babies "where is blaine" they will sniff him out run up to me and try to get my attention either by barking (charlie's way of getting my attention), climbing on my leg (Sabrina's way of getting my attention), or doing circles in front of me (Lucy's way of getting my attention) once they have my attention they go to where blaine is and instead of going under the couch they all lay their chest on the ground with their tales straight up in the air and just look under the couch like "he's right there, I see him" it's too funny but they do enjoy finding their toys and each other.
