Anyone else's dog OBSESSED with playing fetch?

Roxy is almost 3. She is majorly obsessed with playing fetch with any and every toy she has. It is so frigging annoying that she constantly wants to play - she will leave her toy at your feet and then sit and wait for you to throw it 10,000 times. And bark at you if you don't. Is this just my dog? Will it stop or lessen at some point? We thought after she got out of puppyhood it would slow down but it hasn't

Daisy is 6 months old and it's all she wants to do It's endless!!!! And if we won't play fetch, then she wants us to hold one end of her bone as she chews on the other - as if to play tug and war.

Oscar loves fetch and I don't see him outrgowing it. I just try to remember all the dogs I have had in my life that didn't play fetch and how I would try to get them into it. Now I got my wish and he is obsessed.

My dog refuses

Re: Anyone else's dog OBSESSED with playing fetch?

My pup sure is. If you're just sitting around watching tv or sleeping he finds that to be the perfect opportunity for a round of fetch. If you dont respond he smacks you. Yes smacks you. He will pick his paw up and wack you in the leg to get your attention, then once he has it he gives you that big golden smile and then runs to the other end of the room waiting for you to throw his toy.

And if you dont play fetch with him then he will grab one of his bones, force it into your hand and then you have to hold the bone while he chews on it.

My pup has character

Denver is! When we come home, he always greets us with a toy in his mouth and wants to play fetch right away!

Re: Anyone else's dog OBSESSED with playing fetch?

Yogi loves to play fetch! He turned 1 last week. When we go into the backyard it is all she wants to do. So, we bought a "chuck it" which is great because you can throw the ball without touching the ball and without hurting your arm from throwing.

Its not so much of a problem when we are outside, but Yogi wants to play fetch inside now too!!! I am not throwing something inside of the house! And, he runs and slides on my pergo floors! It's very annoying



Here is a pic of the chuckit

LOL that reminds me of the dog in the movie "Spanglish"

Re: Anyone else's dog OBSESSED with playing fetch?

Lilly plays fetch by herself! She will take her stuffed duck or her Kong Wubba and fling them across the room and RUN and tackle them. She'll keeo doing this from one side of the room to the other for HOURS!

I guess it's nice that she can entertain herself...

Katie is 2 and she still does this.

Re: Anyone else's dog OBSESSED with playing fetch?

Rudy doesn't really. He is really good at retrieving but not so good at dropping lol

Re: Anyone else's dog OBSESSED with playing fetch?

Misty likes you to throw her the ball so she can then play "Keep Away" with you.
Retrieving is not in her vocabulary.

My 3yo labradoodle loves to play ball. Its so bad that when i take her in the car I take a ball with me, just in case I need to get her.

Golden Retriever Simba loves to play keep away

Dottie LOVES fetch.

She pounces on it like a cat - it's hysterical!

If we throw anything other than a ball, she shakes it back and forth so hard, like she's trying to kill whatever it is. We crack up.

My mini poodle is He is 2 and as soon as I sit down, anywhere in the house, he will run up to me with ANYTHING he can find and drop it at my feet. He would do it for hours if I let him.
