Yeah, any fun activity that is positively reinforced can stay with even the most terriers of terrier, as they love anything that makes them feel they won. All comes down to what makes that dog feel triumphant. My little tyrant feels more triumphant when he retrieves something I throw and then gets me to chase him for it cause he KNOWS he always wins those games. He stands across the room or yard with his prize dangling from his mouth, growling like a cartoon and baiting me for more, more, more. I never win and he thinks that’s great terrier fun!
