How do you like to play with your yorkie?

[yorkiefan_]

One of my favorite things to do is to get on the ground, take one of Cookies chew toys, put it in my mouth, and growl and shake it. Then she'll get excited, jump up, and pull the toy out my mouth with her's. She seems to really enjoy this game and has never bitten me, even when she was in her bad biting phase a week and a half ago. I think it's really cute when she comes and snatches her toy out my mouth lol.

It's really funny when we play it with her two favorite toys: her little stuffed Simba the Lion King and her sock with a knot tied in. She grabs one, I grab the other, and we keep trading. Occasionally she'll try to take Simba out my mouth when she has the sock in hers or vice-versa, and ends up losing both when she can't carry them in her mouth at the same time, haha.

LOL that sounds like quite the sight! I admit, I've totally played tug-of-war with one of Billi's tug toys in my mouth (ok, maybe still do!)

I love chasing Billi and then letting her chase me. Out of nowhere, I'll drop to the floor like she's "caught me" and she'll just jump all over me, excited. Then I pop up and chase after her and catch her, too. If she's on my bed, I'll drop to the floor and play peek a boo with her. She loves it! She'll get down low on the bed and growl and jump around for me, sorta like a lil guard dog. It's pretty cute!

Haha, that was the absolute first thing I did when I got Cookie home and immediately took her in the back yard. When she caught me I got lots of loving haha. Probably wasn't a good idea then though, because the playtime distracted her and she didn't have to pee or poop, but right after we finished playing and went in she peed and then pooped on the carpet. lol

Whoopsie! LOL yeah definitely make sure they've pottied first, but then also make sure you play away from it too! Poo on your shirt might be a playtime killer

[MandiesMom]

I've done this except I don't actually put it in my mouth. I hold it close to my mouth and pretend lol

Our favorite game is "keep away from Mommy." Mandie will get a toy in her mouth (usually a squeaky one lol) and I'll crouch down and slowly walk towards her and say, "I'mmm gonna GET it!" "Gimme that toy"...and she'll take off! I'll chase her around the living room, the dining room, the kitchen, the bedroom...I'll hide behind a wall sometimes and then I'll run the other way and she'll chase me...until I turn. Then she runs away again. lol

I do this same thing with Shelby. He loves that and he loves to play catch...ball/frisbee/whatever. He likes to jump up and catch and show what a smart boy he is.

[Mimi 510]

I love playing with Leila like that! Its too funny cause we have a basket full of toys and Leila cant seem to pick just one. She tries to take all of them in her mouth. She is such a greedy little thing. LOL!

[marcie]

Playing ball or fetch is Marcie's favorite game. She loves to jump and
try to catch it before it lands.

[Lovetodream88]

We like doing the doggy puzzles and anything with balls she will roll it to me and I will roll it back and we do that back and froth it is so funny. We really like to play any way If she doesn't win tug a war though she will get uninterested and walk away.

[Pookie1w]

Coco too likes to play catch. She's my little Jetter girl,

[barneysmommmy]

Barney loves his frisbee. But my favorite thing to play with him is chase the yorkie. He loves showing off how fast he can run. Sometimes Anna gets in on it. She has my build and is low to the ground so I can actually catch her, but I usually let her win.

I love reading about all of this playtime.

[cindersellie]

She has a ping pong ball (cat toy) she bats around with her feet and then chases all over the place. It looks like she's playing soccer with it. She'll bat it to my feet and wait for me to tap it back at her.

My favorite thing to do with my pup is having her work the flirt pole. She has so much fun! If someone doesn't know what a flirt pole is, it's basically a pole with string though it with a toy or animal hide attached. The dog then chases it and gets a great work out. I use deer hide on mine. Bayleigh is FAST! I have so much fun watching her play.

We also enjoy swimming and playing fetch. Usually with a tennis ball, Wubba, or Frisbee.

Thank god you explained what a flirt pole is, bc I was thinking stripper pole! BTW how do you get them to bring back the frisbee? I haven't been able to find one small enough for them to bring back, and my two right now are TALL!

Uni and Toto love playing fetch and destroying balls. Their fave balls are the Air Kong mini mini ones from Target. But Uni really likes to rough house and she loves the "bed monster" game with is just our hand under the sheets. Cheap and fun.

lol Some people use a lunge whip for horses too, and tie a toy or hide to the end of it. Works just as well.

As for the Frisbee, my dog can't catch it but she will bring it back to me. She's bigger, I guess. About 10 pounds and 12" tall. Maybe that makes a difference.

[chachi]

We have to play differently with ours. With chachi we play fetch. jewels wont fetch so you have to give her the toy and play gentle tug of war just kinda act like youre trying to take the toy from her
