Summary
Especially with a new puppy, you’ll hear 20 times a day, play with your puppy, exercise your puppy, stimulate your puppy so they don’t get bored, bond with them to create a strong relationship…
OK OK, we get it’s important but after 160 games of fetch things get a little…well, boring.
In this episode, I’m going to go through 10 ways to play with your dog. And this is just to get you started, it doesn’t stop here, not even close. In reality, there are hundreds of ways to play with your dog. I want you and your dog to get creative and take it from here.
With the cold weather settling in here in NJ I decided to concentrate on indoor activities. It’s easy to take things outside and get all the exercise and entertainment you need. It’s when you’re stuck inside that things get harder.
No matter what activity we do with them, we are entertaining, stimulating, and bonding with them. It’s tiring them out that can sometimes seem impossible. That is why I also focused on ways that will up the exercise and tiring out factor. At the end of the day (literally) what we want is a tired and happy dog!
Your dog will probably have their favorites. I hope you can find something you love, your dog loves AND gets everyone to sleep!
Let’s get those creative juices going!! Press play to listen and enjoy!!

| 0:16.8 | host Debbie Salento. Hello and this week I'm doing something a little different. |
| 0:37.0 | I've put together a mini training for future puppy owners called the three phases to bringing your new puppy home. |
| 0:44.7 | Now I've already released the training. |
| 0:46.6 | It's a series of three videos, so one video for each phase, and that is on my website at playtime pause.com |
| 0:56.7 | forward slash prep so that's playtime pause dot com |
| 1:01.3 | forward slash p r e p and all three videos are there and what I'm going to do here is |
| 1:09.8 | I'm just going to give you the audio version of these videos. So keep that in mind as |
| 1:16.0 | you're listening because a couple times I might reference something that's on |
| 1:19.7 | the screen that obviously you can't see, but even that is minimal. |
| 1:23.3 | So that's why I thought it would be just as beneficial if you prefer to just |
| 1:27.0 | listen to the audio on this podcast. |
| 1:30.9 | So I am going to release each one over the next week. So if you're listening to this in real time, there's one today, one Wednesday, and one on Friday. |

| 2:03.2 | I decided to do this because we talk all about what it takes to raise a puppy. |
| 2:08.6 | You know, you got to do the potty training, the crate training. |
| 2:11.8 | But those first few days are very different than what you're going to do for |
| 2:16.3 | the rest of the time and so often we skip right over them. |
