 Hide-a-squirrel obsession!
I bought my 2 boys a hide-a-squirrel toy for Christmas. They LOVE it. However my Fletcher is an obsessive type pup and he gets zoned in on the squirrels one a time. There are 3 identical squirrels, yet he will only play with one at a time. He will attack for it, stares at it if you take it away, squeak it for HOURS on end and last night when the squeaker finally broke, he tore it apart and had stuffing everywhere. I wonder if you can buy squirrel refills for this toy! haha
Seriously though I cannot distract him from the toy he is obsessed with. Not with treats, not with anything. IF I take it away and put it on the counter or table he will find a way to get on the table to get it, or he will sit or lay or circle the table/counter whining until I give it back. If I hide it under me, he will dig at me nonstop until I give it back. This could go on for hours. Is this normal? Anyone else have an obsessed yorkie?
