Alaska Yorkie, these are great suggestions! You are not only sliding some obedience training and agility skills into your dog's day, you are making it loads of FUN!

Wosie loves to play fetch, and would do it for hours on end! At 5 months we have now gotten to the stage where all I have to do is say "wanna play?" and she runs really fast to get the toy she wants and we play fetch until I get tired! She even brings it back to me, and lets it go! (most of the time, lol) If she seems reluctant to drop the toy, I just let her play with it for a while, and then remind her that I am here too by repeating "wanna play?" Then she will bring it over to me and let me take it.

I'd say any game you play with your yorkie is a great game. The key is do play with them. They aren't ornaments, even though they are beautiful, and the exercise is wonderful for their bodies and minds, not to mention the wonderful fact that play strengthens the bond with their human friends.

Enjoy!
