Summarize this article in one sentence.
While playing with your dog is an important time for bonding and exercise, sometimes dogs need a break from interaction with you or other dogs and prefer to just be alone. Invest in a couple of chew toys for your dog to enjoy on his own.  Most dogs get enough alone time while their owners are away at work or school, but if you have a large family or work from home it is possible for your dog to be overstimulated.  Your dog will likely want privacy while he eats, uses the bathroom, and for up to an hour every day, as well as during rest time. Most dogs love a change of pace and take great pleasure in any kind of exploration. Plan for an adventure that will be stimulating to both of you and also provide great bonding time.  Try taking your dog hiking or backpacking. This is a fun way to explore nature with a companion. Be sure to plan ahead if you take your dog on a trip that requires a lot of exertion. Your dog will need to train for a few weeks to a few months beforehand in order to be in good shape for the trip, especially if she is older or overweight.  Find out if your city has a dog park. While dog parks are not ideal for aggressive or territorial dogs, they are fun for dogs who love other dogs and can be trusted to follow basic commands like sit, stay, and come. Keep a close eye on your dog at the dog park, especially if he is small, as your dog could be injured while playing with others.  Go on a day trip. If your dog likes car rides, look for dog parks or outdoor activities within driving distance of your home and head out.  You can plan to stop at a pet store that allows pets if your dog is sociable and friendly. It may seem weird, but dogs enjoy music and just like you, they enjoy some peaceful time to relax and unwind.  While many dogs are content to just lay on your lap as you watch your favorite shows, some dogs especially like watching nature programs or shows with other dogs or animals. Try a variety of shows to see what your dog is into. If you're feeling up to a challenge, try out the new sport of freestyle musical dance-- it's a type of choreographed dance involving dogs and their owners. If your dog easily learned his basic commands and enjoys agility work, he may also love dancing!

Summary:
Give him some alone time. Get out of the house! Listen to music or watch TV with him.
