Hi I just adopted my first ever dog from a shelter about 4 days ago she's a Pointer/Boxer mix with possibly some Dalmatian in her and middle aged at 7 years. She's a great dog very calm and chill for the most part usually spending the day napping. But when she wakes up she usually has a lot of energy and I wanna find ways to use it. Since I don't want her being bored or having to just feel miserable.

Or if she wakes me up at 5 in the morning I would like to have more options to get her energy out other then walking her on little sleep 😴😂

She's really not into toys since she just looks at them usually and then moves on. And while she will on occasion go for a treat in the Kong toy she has a tendency to just let it go after a while. She mostly just enjoys walks or waiting for my dad to wake up or sunbathing. I was hopping to find some ways to actually use that energy productively and would really appreciate any advice?

Especially since I live in Arizona and while long walks are feesable now will as the summer comes be no longer since it gets to be about 120 degrees on average so walking for hours will not be a thing we can do as much.
