The Energy Plan

Aim the drive instead of swatting the symptom:

• Match the work to the breed — look up your dog's original job and offer something like it
• Build a legal dig zone with loose soil and buried rewards to pull digging there
• Use snuffle mats and puzzle feeders to feed the foraging drive without wrecking the house
• Add short training sessions — making a dog think tires it faster than a long walk
• Take sniff walks where your dog leads and reads scents at its own pace
