I am looking for ideas to properly exercise my puppy in the house until she's had her vaccines(she's got another 2 weeks til shot #3) and can be taken for walks and to the dog park. She has no interest in playing in the backyard and I can get about 5 minutes of playtime out of her if I'm lucky before she goes in the doggie door. If I close the doggie door so she's stuck outside with me, she'll sit by it and cry until I give in.

We play fetch in the house, she has an abundance of toys to play with and she plays with every single one of them, but she will get "the zooms" several times a day for at least 10 mins at a time so I'm pretty sure I need to find a way to exercise her more - before she kills herself running into a table leg or wall at top speed.

Any ideas of ways I can wear her out inside besides playing fetch?
