my dog is boring...

[tikeyas_mom]

she never wants to play she just always wants belly rubs and whines.. I love her alot and I think she is the greatest but she never wants to interact with me.. ?? why ? Thanks

[Aspen and Misty]

Maybe her kind of play isn't the same as yours. Is she older? Maybe she likes to go for walks rather then chase a tennis ball?? You need to find out what she likes to do for fun.

She is 4 years old.. I remeber when she was a puppie we would do lotsa fun things like play with sheets and rip them ect.. lol but now she is lazy .. She likes walks but Its it often cold here so I am always sick .. I try to take her for walks often but it isnt as fuffiling for me as it is for her .. Oh well

try teaching her tricks!

[primabella]

mickey is very playful but he has his moments when he is too tired to play but too awake to sleep. i hate those times!! i have no clue on what to do. tricks is a great way to get her more into things. it'll bring you guys closer and its always fun to see how fast she learns

[tikeyas_mom]

I have tough my dog every trick in the book .. she knows it all..

[Jessica12345]

not EVERY trick im sure! keep trying! and if she knows THAT many she cant be that boring. even if u dont teach her any more.... keep going over them! here are some suggestions for tricks:

of course the basics... like sit, stay, down, paw, but then others like:

spin
dance
speak
roll over
to get u a tissue when u sneeze
keeping a treat on the noes, then flipping it over
play dead
cover your eyes
tell her to throw something away
take a bow

and then stuff like agility or flyball!

good luck!

[tikeyas_mom]

ok here is the list of all the tricks she knows.... <play dead. <roll over.<sit.< stay.< come.< shake both paws on command.. or one at a time,< Se can speak.< she give a kisse on command.< She can lay down.< she can Catch a treat in mid air.<she can wink on command.< she can give huggs.< she can't fetch .. she hates fetching... She knows every thing though except for fetching .. and she has never step 1 foot in obedience trianing school I trained her all my self

[Jessica12345]

well you Can keep teaching her ......................

but i think agility might be good. it gives everyone exersise and keeps her healthy! she would probibly have fun! i built an agility course myself (other stuff is to expensive ) out of sticks and would. I put long would polls in the ground for weaving and i build a jump. Although primabella used a laudrey basket, witch would also work well, along with some other stuff.

also... i think just cuddling up with your doggies is fun! jordan is now 12, and wants to do nothing but cuddle and get belly rubs. how old is your dog? its still fun to cuddle! but then again i have a puppy do do the other stuff with.

Good luck!

[i] and she has never step 1 foot in obedience trianing school I trained her all my self [/B]

well thank you for being so modest just kidding

have you tried frisbee or other agility? i'm working on that and its a lot of work but tons of fun. give it a shot (and yes, i did use a laundry basket hehe) there are tons of other tricks. she has not done them all. there was a website where they taught all kidns of advanced tricks like playing hide and seek and stuff liekt hat. well, more complicating. if i find it, i'll let you know...good luck

[tikeyas_mom]

she doesnyt fetch I already said .. She isnt even interested in me throwing it at all..

[anna_66]

Have you ever thought of taking her to obedience or like primabella said, agility?
I took Roxey to obedience school & she just loved it, it was her favorite thing in the whole world to do. She would know when Tuesday came, we were going to school! We went many times, even though she didn't need to go again, we just went because she liked it so much. We also went to an agility class. We had alot of fun.

[tikeyas_mom]

I have been trying to get Tikeya into classes for ever .. But noone returns my calls

[Jessica12345]

CUDDLE! maybe she just doesnt want to play. how old is she? maybe she is slowing down.

YOU HAVE TO LOVE TO CUDDLE!

but you should also bring her on walks to keep her healthy and happy.

did u ever try agility?
