She's clearly having fun, running around in circles, chewing sticks, and finding and eating cat poop. And I don't want to discourage her from having fun when I take her outside (except for the cat poop thing -- that needs to stop).

But she seems to have the idea that jumping up and biting my wrists or my ankles is a fun game that we both enjoy, and she seems to be getting more agressive about it.

For cat poop, we got one of these dog playpen enclosures: Amazon Basics - Octagonal Foldable Metal Exercise Pet Play Pen for Dogs, Fence Pen, Single Door, Small, 60 x 60 x 30 Inches, Black https://a.co/d/6Nz4VuU

It is set so that the cats can get through a gap easily, but Henry can't get his head through without causing a huge racket.

That doesn't look like a very big area for a dog

I thought the OP was talking about their dog getting into an indoors litter box. It's not for the dog to play in, it's to keep them out. (In case you're joking, let me be the first to say whoooosh to myself lol)

Oh phew, I assumed dog was finding cat poo when out and about so I thought you were suggesting setting that up as a prison yard for dog to attempt to run around in!
