Animals are sapient,
and pick up on stress,
and it festers in them,
Even if your friends cant take them ( dog/s) for walks
tell them to get a "pull toy" but not any old rag,
as dogs may interpret this as 'go ahead and pull the house to shreads'
and do about 10 min of tug-o-war with the dog/s
To dogs this is the best of fun,and brings much joy to their little tickers.
the only second thing better to dogs,are what are know as fence fights,
where a wandering dog and the denizen dog,
run up and down the fence line,
both knowing that neither can touch the other,
and have a 'great time was had by one and all'
