Do you have a fenced backyard where he can run or are you limited to
leash and only off leash in the house?
If you have a nice back yard (or a doggie park -- which, personally, I
never take my dog to because, WELL, you just never know what riff-raff
is there when you have the best dog going with you!) FOOTBALL. Wonderful
invention -- you can throw them, the dog can smack them with a foot, but
they don't roll true. Throw one that hits the ground and there's no
telling where it will end up. That lovely non-round shape. Which means
you are only expending the energy to throw it a few times while puppy is
chasing it all over the place.
You can start with a smaller one ... better if you have one type of toy
you can throw and he can retrieve easily, but get a football that he
can't easily pick up ... defeats the purpose.
For in the house, there are toys (but they aren't inexpensive and they
aren't the most durable) that are balls with gyro type mechanisms
inside. Usually there is some type of flat unstuffed toy attached so
it's like a flattened weasel (or whatever) being dragged around with the
mechanism .... and the dog.
