I have a 4 month old chihuahua and so many dog books suggest playing games that are breed specific in order to exercise the dog's mind as well as it's body. For example, hunting dogs should play games that have them retrieve things. Chihuahua's are companion dogs so what kind of activities would be breed specific for her?

Chihuahuas were bred for companion dogs.. i’m not to sure, but this link tells you LOADS about them. I hoped this helped, if it did best vote? I really need some.

Chihuahuas love to play rope pulling or jumping games. Chihuahuas love running and chasing things, they also fetch and love to hide alot. If she is allowed in the bedrooms of the living rooms, put your hands under the carpet and act like something is there.
P.S: Chihuahuas dont like to play with the same toy all over again, so everytime you play with her change to a different toy
Hope i helpled
im not to sure about the breed specific games but im sure your chihuahua would like playin things like abit of fetch or i no they normally like cuddally toys or maybe it would even enjoy learnin new tricks/commands hope this helped
Chihuahua’s where bred to be companions to humans…
Chihuahua’s get enough excise just walking round the house.
The love fetch tho.
I’d play space games with her. Allow other people in your space, next to you, and if she gets growly, put her on the ground. Many small breed owners coddle their dogs when they’re guarding their owners, and this promotes aggression. I’m NOT saying this will happen to your pup, especially since you’re already doing such great research, but it’s not uncommon with smaller breeds.
Treat her like a dog, not a toy or accessory. Do obedience training with her. Make her sit for food. Really, she’s cute as a button, but you still need to instill structure and obedience. You can still lift, carry, cuddle, etc. But she needs to learn rules.
This is the greatest gift you can give your dog.
And finally, enjoy the stuffin out of her!
