Puppy still not chilling out?

[red324]

When I got a dog I was hoping for a couch potato. I can't do anything with this dog. I try to include him in the things that I do so he gets as much social time as possible, but I'll be working on the car and he'll just carry away whatever part I took off. He's about 1.5 years old now.

It is important to remember that different breeds and individual dogs have different energy levels and personalities. While some dogs may be more relaxed and calm, others may have higher energy levels and require more exercise and stimulation.

If you are finding it challenging to manage your dog's energy level, it may be helpful to review your daily routine and ensure that he is getting enough exercise and mental stimulation. This could include taking him for long walks, playing interactive games with him, or enrolling him in obedience or agility classes.

It may also be helpful to provide your dog with appropriate toys and chew items to keep him occupied and prevent him from getting into things he shouldn't. Consistency and patience are key when training a dog, and it may take some time to establish new routines and behaviors.

If you are feeling overwhelmed or unsure about how to manage your dog's behavior, it may be helpful to seek support from a professional dog trainer or behaviorist, who can provide guidance and support in addressing any challenges you may be facing.

Remember, with proper training, exercise, and stimulation, most dogs can learn to be well-behaved and happy companions.

My dog think I have to pay her to do anything even eating. She wants to go almost everyplace I go. I ask my wife need from the store and our dog goes and lay down in the front of the stairs. Everything has to be done her way or no way. You take her for a walk if you do not go her way she lays down and refuses to move until you go her way. I have even offer her a treat to go my way, she walks a few steps my way until she gets the treat then she turns around and go back her way. by the way she is about eight years old love her to pieces. I tried everything with her but nothing works. She very smart I would never give her up

Maybe he's been taking too many Puppy Uppers! Have you tried switching them with Doggy Downers?

[Msputiton]
