My dog is super energetic. How can I mentally and physically tire her?

Pet's info: Dog | Goldendoodle | Female | spayed | 11 months and 23 days old | 35 lbs

I have a very excitable dog. It’s almost impossible to wear her out. I am looking for ways to stimulate her mentally and physically more to help her get some of her energy out. Any suggestions for activities, toys, or games we could do?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Jogging with her would be a good option. Other things you could consider include letting her run around at the dog park, playing fetch, having her spend time at a doggy day care with other dogs of a similar age. This will also improve with time as she is really young now. This will get better with time though those activities can help in the meantime. Good luck!
