Your cute little toy breed has short legs to match, so probably won’t love chasing a ball that’s been thrown for several miles! However, there are so many nice games that you can play to bond with and exercise Mr Fluffy, including:
Tug of war– this game works so brilliantly with a small rope toy, but you can use your pup’s favorite sock, glove…or whatever it is! Just wave the toy before your little puppy and he’s sure to grab it eventually. Then, gently pull it back and forth. The fun part is letting it go once in a while, which will make your puppy feel like a champion.
‘Rolling’ fetch – designed for our mini, tiny bundles of love, rolling fetch is simply a toned down version of the game for bigger dogs. Choose a ball or toy that will fit in his mouth. Roll it gently across the floor or toss it a small distance across the room. Don’t expect him to understand what’s happening right away, but praise your little puppy for bringing the toy back to you when he finally does. He’ll love it!
