I am force to pick her up and carry her home. My Yorkie is very excitable and loves to play. My Shih Tzu is always running away from my Yorkie. She cannot play for long periods. Sometimes I feel like a referee. I have to stop my Yorkie from trying to play with my Shih Tzu when she is tired. How do you teach your dog to stop playing when the other dog is tired? I am going to adopt a Maltese puppy, because I want him to grow up with a friend that around the same age. I am hoping to find him a friend with the same activity rate as my Yorkie to alleviate the problem. I understand your situation. I experience it every time I walk my dogs too. Does your dog force the other dog to play when he is tired? |
Zoey is a gal that can find her own things to do. So if and when Toby doesn't want to play wtih her she will go look for the cat or go and nip my son to let him know she wants to play.
