We have a 3 month old black lab puppy--she is so cute! I love her, but need more things to do with her during the day. When she gets bored she cries and chews (on the rocking horse, the couch, the coffee table, her bed.....) the chewing isn't really a problem, I just redirect her to a toy or play with her but I am curious what other people do with pups?
Right now we wake up, she goes out, eats breakfast and then we play for a bit. Then she goes back to sleep.
At 9 we go for a ride in the car and drop my daughter off at school.
She likes to play with her toys or snuggle for a bit and go outside in our yard but nothing for very long. I don't know any games to play with her other than fetch and tug (and we're trying to phase out tug to help her calm down).
I try to take her for a 20 minute walk in the afternoon.
Anything else I can do with her? I don't need her to be perfect, but she doesn't seem very interested in chew toys or even peanut butter kongs (our old dogs favorite thing).
What do puppies like?

- she has tons of "games" to play with a puppy which are actually training. Mental activity is as tiring to puppies as physical activity!
