We totally get you, and we're here to help you give your Toy Fox Terrier the best in this lifetime.

Here are 14 best activities for your Toy Fox Terrier.

#1 Treadmill

Teach your dog how to walk on the machine; go slowly at first. Walk on it with them until they get their confidence. Keep the pace slow and easy at first, before increasing the pace. With this activity, your dog will always be able to have a walk each day.

#2 Walking Excursion

Walking is always the best exercise you can give your dog. It provides the excuse to get out of the house and see some new sights.

#3 Making the Bed

Changing a bed can be made into a fun activity for your dog. As you take the pillowcases and the sheets off, give it to your dog to put in the laundry basket.

#4 Shake Hands

Start by sitting with your dog, saying 'shake hands'. At the same time, reach down and take hold of their paw. Do this a couple of times and then give them a treat for doing it. Then, try the command to shake hands again and see if they raise their paw.

#5 Balance a Treat on Their Nose

This trick takes a bit of learning as your dog will just want to eat the treat. But teach them to sit, and then gently put a treat on their nose, and say stay. If they try to grab the treat, say no. Take the treat and try again. They don't get the treat until you say so.

#6 Doing the Dog Crawl

Teach your dog to crawl by getting down to their level and getting them to lie down. Then hold a treat just out of range of their mouth. If they raise up, take the treat away and repeat the order to lie down.

#7 Playing the Shell Game

The shell game is a simple problem-solving game for dogs. To play the shell game with your dog let your dog watch as you place a treat under one of three cups. The shell game gives your dog plenty of mental stimulation and helps them work on their problem-solving skills.

#8 Using the Stuffed Kong

If you want to keep your dog busy for awhile try stuffing a Kong with some of their favorite treats. You can freeze some peanut butter or broth inside, or just put some treats in there and give your dog something to work for.

#9 “Go Find” Their Toys

Once your dog knows the names of some of their toys teach them the “go find it” game. Have your dog's toys in a pile or container and tell them to “go find” their favorite toy.

#10 Teaching a New Trick

Does your dog already know a bunch of tricks? One of the best things about trick training is that there’s always room to improvise and make it more challenging.

#11 Playing a Game of Fetch

It`s very easy to play this game with such a dog as the Toy Fox Terrier! Be careful with heavy toys around anything that’s fragile or able to be tipped over, and it’s probably not a good idea to play fetch inside the kitchen.

#12 Mastering The Art of Doggie Massage

Learning how to give a dog massage is enriching for owners and dogs alike. A nice massage can help soothe and relax nearly any dog.

#13 Indoor Doggie Obstacle Course

Create your own obstacle course inside your home. Make your Toy Fox Terrier jump over some towels, weave through his toys, and then lay down on a blanket. Use your imagination and come up with a set of obstacles for your dog to follow.
