IDEAS FOR PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES
Perhaps if you have time to plan ahead, you might be able to register for visits from a 'PAT - Pets As Therapy' dog? - https://petsastherapy.org/
Alternatively, perhaps a member or their supporter has a well behaved dog who could pay a short visit? (Bear in mind some members may not be dog lovers!)
Or you could have members fashion some dogs out of modelling clay.
A good old fashioned game of 'Catch' is also an enjoyable physical activity.
