- Include playtime: Allow free play in the backyard or safe indoor space.
- Monitor energy levels: Adjust based on how your puppy responds, observing for signs of fatigue.
- Consider mental stimulation: Engage with toys, puzzles, and gentle training exercises.
- Gradual increase: Slowly increase activity duration as your puppy grows.
