Yo!..pets are more playful when they are younger. Kittens and pups are easily provoked by just about anythin and then they go horsin', playin, and jumpin in about 10 directions at the same time. As they get older, they tend to be less agile except for those who were trained to become, well, "professional players"... Cool

you're right pal, how i wish my pet parrot is young again..when he was younger he'd hop around the cage every now and then, but now that he's older, he'll simply stare at me and we'd just be staring at each other in the next couple of minutes. maybe im just getting older too lol

training pets for sports is not unlike teaching them tricks, it would involve a lot of dedication on the part of the owner coz as it appears animals have their own way of engaging themselves in games..

Yes, pups are understandably more playful than adult dogs. But even the older ones can be very playful, too.

It all boils down to our having time for our pets. If we play with them regularly, chances are they'll still be playful when they get older.

we really should spend time to play with our pets to keep the energy burning..the more our pets get older the more they should be physicaly active..

Yes, conditioning our pets to play more can help them health-wise. It will make them stronger and more fit even when they grow old.
