What are some good activities l can use to tire Deuce out? I've done tug of war and walks for hours on end and it doesn't seem to work.

Puppies have a lot of energy. There is no good method to tire them out. He also probably doesn't have enough vaccines to play with other dogs yet either. I would try chasing a ball, offer a Kong toy with peanut butter, and look into "brain game" toys online. When he has all of his vaccines, you can try swimming, dog parks, and doggie day care. Good luck and kisses to Deuce!
