Does your yorkie entertain her/himself? I have a quick question regarding your yorkie's playing habits. I walk Teddy about 4 miles a day, and when I absolutely cannot do that he goes to daycare for 8 hours where he gets both play time and training sessions with the training staff at the daycare. I'd like to say that Teddy gets a lot of both mental/physical stimulation! However, sometimes I feel bad because he seems to not like playing with his toys by himself? He has an entire dining room area to himself and a window to look out through, bully sticks, beef trachea and toys to play with (just bought him two new toys yesterday) and he gets REALLY excited when I play with him and his new toys but the second I leave he just lays down instead of playing/chewing on his toys by himself? He doesn't whine/cry or bark when he's by himself but I sort of wish he would enjoy playing with his toys when I'm not around? I feel sort of guilty ? Is this how all dogs are with their toys? |
Scarlett can entertain herself with a piece of paper. Rhett needs a little more interaction to be interested. Here is Scarlett playing catch all by herself. |
I wish Kaji would play and entertain himself. If I or my brothers are nit playing with him, he just sits there. If Im not close by, he won't chew his bullies. |
Scarlett is TOO cute! Jackson will very rarely entertain himself with toys. He will lay down and chew on a bully stick or a Kong, etc, by himself. When it comes to toys, I generally have to be playing WITH him. Although occasionally he will go find a kong tennis squeaker and roll it around and chase it, but it lasts all of 60 seconds. The only times I've seen him actually play by himself is with things he's not supposed to have. He LOVES the lids/caps to water bottles, etc, and he flings them up in the air and plays catch with them, LOL, but of course I have to take those away. |
ZoE prefers that I play with her with her toys. But, she will entertain herself for hours playing too. She has a lil squeaky fish that she loves. She'll chew on it & flip it around & chase after it & chew & flip it again. Her other favorites are a rubber ball with bell inside, a squirrel skinneez, and a stuffed rope toy she came with from the breeder. After a little furniture arranging she now has three windows she can look out of; towards the driveway, front of house & back of house. She likes to watch cars go buy in the front & watch birds & squirrels in the back. |
Scarlett is so cute. Teddy would sit and chew on the piece of paper and swallow it. :rolleyes: Quote:

If I thought one dog would entertain himself I for sure thought it would be Jackson! You do so much training with him that he probably needs a break to chew on his bullystick anyways ;);) And, I have noticed that if it's something inappropriate he has no problem "playing" with it for a while!

Nope, Zhoie thinks playing means mommy too ;) She will play with her Weasel Ball by herself, only because you turn it on and it rolls around by itself flipping it's tail. She drags it everywhere and chews it....we really burn up alot of AA batteries here, :D |
Callie chews on bones and plays with her treat stick (a stick that has treats come out of it when u roll it around) and she has stuffed balls that she will roll around and pounce on and play with but other things she normally doesn't play 100% by herself with. Sometimes she will grab a toy and throw it around and pounce on it but most of the time that is when she is trying to get someones attention or if every ones attention is on her. My mom yorkie Sammy LOVES toys and will play with them by himself he also will put a smaller on in his mouth and walk around squeaking it forever lol |
Both these toys sound great...would you guys mind letting me know the names of them/or links to buy them so I can get them for Teddy? Also, for the treatstick what treats do you use? Quote:

We just got a little robotic bug today at Walmart called a hex bug. Its in the kids toys section. Someone told us about it. My baby played with it for half hour and I had to take it away from her. It moves around on its own and vibrates. It was $8.00 and to her totally worth it. She tries to smack it and bite it but I'm pretty sure she wont swallow it cuz she drops it from her mouth when it vibrates. I'll post a video later if u guys would like to see the toy and how it works |

Kacee does not entertain herself. She will play like Scarlett on the patio sometimes, but not very often. I'm her entertainer.:D |
Scarlett you look like you are having so much fun!! Rosie don't play much by herself. Mainly me or the boys have to play with her. Unless there is a fly in the house. Then she will spend hours chasing it! :D |
Miss Scarlett is way too cute! She had me cracking up, I think it's the cutest thing ever when they do play on their own. Princess will do the toss thing with this little scrunchie sometimes, she reminds me of a cat & I lol the whole time. Other than that she'll chew her chews alone & sometimes "kill" one of her stuffed toys. When has something naughty, usually tissue or paper, she will chew it in front of me every time.:rolleyes: Guess she knows I'm going to pay attention to that pronto, lol. |
