She's adorable!
Food and treat dispensing toys are usually a hit.
1) Stuff Kong toys with various things she has to work to extract. I've heard of some people putting canned or moistened dog food into a Kong and then freezing it, turning the Kong into a doggy popsicle. I put treats into my Kong toys and then plug the opening with a piece of freeze dried lamb heart
2) I like the Kong Wobbler for feeding kibble; the dog needs to keep poking the toy to get kibble to drop out
3) Reuse plastic bottles - milk jugs, gatorade bottles, etc. - as treat dispensers
4) Reuse small paper and cardboard boxes - cereal boxes, Kleenex boxes, lunch bags, even the inner cardboard from a roll of toilet paper - as treat dispensers
5) Put your collection of treat dispensers into a larger box and bury them under crumpled paper, so she has to work to find them
Make a flirt pole using some clothes line, a four foot long piece of half inch PVC pipe, and a worn out T-shirt as a lure. Drag the lure on the ground and encourage her to chase it. (Be careful to avoid aerial maneuvers or high speed turns. You don't want her accidentally doing a backflip while jumping up or blowing out a knee while cornering.) Use this play to practice impulse control commands such as "Drop It" and "Wait"
