Sometimes I have to play fetch with two different toys. Abbie has her faves as does Layla. Abbie becomes disinterested after a little while, but Layla could play forever - I think she will always be a puppy, that seems to be the way with Shih tzu's. Also, I find that if I only play with one, sometimes Abbie will run away with the "baby" and guard it. So, it just depends on their mood. Layla rarely returns the baby or the ball, we're working on that. She can be so stubborn - again, the breed, from what I understand. Abbie seems to be more intelligent, although I could be wrong and Layla is just scamming me!!!!!
:) Abbie does high five and shake, but she will not speak on command, even though she barks at things she sees and hears outside. Layla will speak and sit, that's about it...
I need to learn new ways to interact with them and stimulate their minds. I always feel like Im not doing enough......
