Ideas for entertaining puppy

At a loss at how to occupy clever 12 week puppy for more than 2 minutes at a time. I can’t get anything done!

In addition to loads of chews and toys, she has:

  • stuffed kongs / treat balls
  • loo rolls / boxes with treats inside
  • frozen carrots
  • scattered food


The above occupy her for about 2 minutes. Then she’s back with big spaniel eyes begging for new entertainment/me to play.

What are your top tips for keeping your puppy independently entertained?

If you do 10-20 minutes of training they will be exhausted and fall asleep.

I don't entertain my puppy all the time I never have I have only given Kong etc when going into the crate so he wants to go there. Normally I walk and play with him at certain parts of the day do 20 minutes of training and then the rest of the time he is either asleep or chewing some toy. He is 16 week but he has been like this since about 11 weeks when we could take him for a walk actually even before we would play in the garden or the kitchen for 10 mins then he would sleep most of the day.
