Dogs love new experiences, much like humans. If your older dog Chacha isn't up for big walks, into toys or games anymore I would try some of the following; Dog parks Outdoor adventures that don't require much walking Trick or Obedience training for fun Dog play dates Some dogs even like to watch tv!
