Living in a city or apartment without easy access to outdoor space can make exercising and stimulating your dog challenging. Without enough activity, dogs can turn to destructive behaviors like chewing furniture or digging through trash. But don’t worry! There are plenty of creative ways to keep your dog engaged, both mentally and physically, indoors.

For those who find the early stages overwhelming, an older puppy may offer a more manageable and enjoyable experience.
