How can i make my pet livelier? any ideas?

Question

i have a dog (a pekingese) but she's too dull. she never plays with me, never plays with anyone. all she ever does is eat and sleep. i know for sure that she's not sick. i love her too much and i know that she loves me too but... she's too dull! how can i make her livelier?

Answer 1

Have you tried taking her for walks to perk her up? If you didn't play with her as a pup or young dog maybe she doesn't know how to play.  

Answer 2

Feed it home-made food!!!!!

You'll see the difference in a month.

Look up homemade dog recipes on google.

You don't want to know what they put in shop dog and cat food!

*pukes* and the vets won't tell you what's in it either.

Home-made food will make it live 4-8.3 years longer than the average life expectancy of a pekingnese.  

Answer 3

you can't change a dogs personality.

Answer 4

See what information I found about your dog's temprament : These dogs can be stubborn and jealous. Do not expect this dog to come when it is called. Pekes are sometimes aggressive, especially to other dogs. It may take a long time for Pekes to get used to any other dogs except puppies, mates, and siblings. However, Pekes can be properly socialized with dogs and other types of pets and can become fast friends. It is easy to believe that Pekes know that they are royalty and expect you to know it, too. The Pekingese personality has been compared to a cat, although this isn't quite right. Where a cat can be trained, a Pekingese needs to be convinced that the training is beneficial to him as well as to you. But, if they love you they will do anything for you, even fight to the death to protect you.

The Pekingese is generally a one-person dog. They decide who they like best, and it might surprise you. They more than tolerate the others in their person's life. Most healthy and well-trained Pekes are fine with children who have been raised to be respectful. Many breeders will not place the breed in households with young or boisterous children as the Breed simply does not enjoy being mauled or expected to tear around in a manner that would be more befitting an agile Poodle or other smalls breeds.

The Pekingese is a large dog in a small body. It expects to be respected and will not tolerate being treated otherwise.
