Might be a stupid question but I have zero experience with dogs I'm dogsitting 2 chihuahuas for a couple of days, all v last minute, they arrived this morning. They seem pretty happy (though not eating or drinking much, but my friend said not to worry if they don't at first. Might cook a sausage or something to see if that will tempt them? Will check with my friend first). They're getting lots of strokes and attention from me and DD(4).
But I don't really know how to play with them? We've tried to throw a ball/ frisbee in the garden but they're not interested. Gonna take them for a walk in the woods later this evening when it's cooler.
They have 3 under 4 at their house, including a v boisterous 3yo (love him loads, but my friend says he can be boisterous with them) and my DD is super gentle and a little bit nervous around them (really glad to have them actually as she has started to be nervous around big dogs especially, but she's loving these guys) so I don't think it's her being around.
Maybe they're just shy, it's only been a couple of hours. Just want them to have a good time with us
