Play is a key part of a puppy’s physical and mental development. Through play, puppies learn how to move, think, and interact with their environment.
Playing helps build strong muscles and healthy joints. It also improves balance and coordination. Mental play, such as puzzle toys, helps puppies learn problem-solving skills early.
Playtime reduces stress and boredom. Puppies that play regularly are calmer and less likely to develop destructive behaviors.
A good mix of play and rest creates a happy and healthy puppy.
