[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We adopted anew dog in August (20ib mutt) and turns out she is VERY high energy (not something the rescue shared).  We take her for a long-ish walk in the morning (2.5-4 miles), and she is farily quiet after that until 1 or so when she turns into a total spaz.  She will start nosing around for whatever she can find to distract her - sometimes it's her toys, but also socks, shoes, tissues, her own dog bed, a table leg, whatever happends to catch her eye.  We've gotten her a bunch of puzzle toys which keep her distracted a bit but if they're easy she finishes fast and if  too hard she'll just walk away.  We've frozen treats into kongs which work but she gets therough them in about 10 minutes and is then getting into mischief again. We try to take her for another 1-2 mile walk midday but between work and school it's tough sometimes, and doesn't even really work to get her to chill out.  No fenced yard.  Any ideas for other things to try?   TIA!  [/quote]

Dog play dates. When they run around and wrestle. Dog park or meetups with puppies/high energy dogs.[/quote]
