So I have a 6 month old morkie( yorkie/maltese).. and every time I go into my room he comes with me I close the door.. and I would take his treats out and I would throw one on the floor for him.. and then lol he would go for it pick it up put it down real fast then he would just go crazy he would do laps in my room just running.. and he does it sooooo fast lol.. and when he does it its almost like he's growling as he does it... he likes these treats and eats them after he does this whatever it is so I know its not the treats.. or is it? Lol I think it's the funniest thing but I just want know what up with him doing that

Oh heavens, a yorkie/maltese mix, must be the cutest little thing ever. I have a maltese.

What your little guy is doing is playing. Puppies need play time, so he is entertaining himself. They have tons of energy and then bam, they know when it's nap time.

Get a ball, or something that the both of you can play with. This will get him some play time and teach him some skills and have human contact.

Love and play with your new guy.

I caution you, please not too many treats. Yes, they love them, but the best treat you can give them is your love. It is more important that they eat their food and get the nutrients they need at this age, then treats.

When training them, treats are fine to reward, but please not too many. I am sure you guy is a little guy, and he will get all filled up on treats, and then have no interest for his food.

Play with him, love him and enjoy him. And give him a big hug for me :)

He sounds like a healthy pup, and those are just playful sounds you hear.

Congratualtions on your new addition!!
