Senior Yorkie Talker | fun activities for yorkies Hey everyone! Ok so Lexi is still my first baby yorkie. I don't want to constantly play "fetch" I know she gets bored easily. Anyone would like to share any interesting games they play with their yorkies??

| Well Mitzy's all time favorite is fetch and she will play for hours But we also play "hide and seek". I first make her sit & stay in say the living room, then I will take a toy and go hide it somewhere in the house. When I return from hiding it she will take off and go try and find it. Sometimes she needs a little help but most of the spots I try to make easy to find for her She loves this and I think its a great way to keep them stimulated

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Obedience classes are fun and open up a whole new world of possibilities. Besides helpful sits and stays, etc., you learn how to teach. Then you can start on tricks and games. If there are any "Nose Work" classes in your area, those are worth checking out too. Dogs learn the game of finding scents with their nose, and you can entertain them for hours just finding hidden treats or scents around the house. Good luck!

Senior Yorkie Talker | Thanks guys for the tips, i'll definitely play hide and seek and try nose works for now. I will hopefully set up an agility course before summer is over or i'll do that next year. There is a dog park near by with one, so I'll use that in the mean time! =D

| interactive toys are really good. It helps stimulate the dog mind and make them sleepy
