Jackson is the kind of dog that NEEDS to be stimulated, one way or another, or he will literally drive me crazy.
I have a few interactive toys. Kong Wobbler is his favorite.
But more importantly, exercise. With the weather, we haven't been getting as much, but on a typical day, he used to get at LEAST a walk (2-4 miles depending), a session of fetch (indoor and/or outdoor), swimming pool time (in the summer), etc. It really makes a difference. Even a 20 min walk can work wonders when I just need him to 'chill' for a bit.
