What is your corgi's favorite game?

I am having trouble finding games that Sun enjoys. So far she only seems to like playing with other dogs at the park and practicing her tricks with me. When there is no dog around and I'm not asking her anything she will just sit and stare at me.

She will run after a ball 2 or 3 times without much enthusiasm then ignore it completely whenever I throw it. She won't go after a frisbee at all or jump to catch a stick. She likes to chase a soccer ball but same, it only lasts a minute or so before she is bored of it.

At home she does play alone with her ropes and plushies from time to time though, she enjoys chewing them and ripping them slowly. She's very mellow about it though.

I'd love some good game ideas that corgis love!

Jerry really got into fetch after he turned around 7 months old. Now he is OBSESSED and I feel like I didn't really do anything to nurture this behavior, other than keep trying, lol.

I DID try to praise and reward him any time he showed interest in a thrown object and even MORE of a party when he brought it back. That being said, he is only really engaged inside with fetch. Too distracted outside unless he's the only dog around.

If I can get him to stay long enough (helps if my partner is in the room with him to keep him on point) he LOVES hide and seek. Of course, I'm always he hider, and there's no guarantee he'll wait long enough for you to find a really good spot, but he always gets so excited when he finds me. It's fun to stump him too.

I also roughhouse with him a bit, when he's in the mood. Good opportunity to work on getting him to end the game when you say so.

Hope you can do some of this with Sun!

Bogart LOVES the tennis ball. He wants us to toss it or bounce it to him indoors, so he can catch it and then he makes bragging noises like he is showing off. He will play catch outside too. To make it more interesting, I make him do commands before I throw the ball in the back yard, like "down" or "roll over." He also LOVES herding a full-size basketball around the back yard, he is really skilled at it and moves it anywhere he wants at top speed.
