A few issues...
I recently (3rd week now) took in a rotty/lab mix bitch, 10 month old puppy
from an older gentlemen that couldn't keep her anymore. She has alot of very cute manners, is housetrained, love to go for car rides, but....a very big BUT, she has behaviour problems. First off, her prey drive is very high, and I have 2 cats that I've had for over 6 years. One cat just stands her ground, but the dog is obsessed with the cats. If their around, she can't relax and always tries to get behind them, and generally annoys the crap out of them. Second, which is also part of the first problem....If I could bottle the energy she has, I'd be a millionaire. She just doesn't know when to stop. I play with her for about half hour to an hour after work, then go for a walk later in the evening, but that's not enough. When she gets in the house she thinks it's play time again and starts trying to play/bite my wife or anyone around for taht matter. So I believe this is also related to the annoying the cat issues. When she gets going too much in the house, I bring her outside for a time-out. I don't know if she'll grow out of this hyper phase or not. She listens good when I tell her to sit, etc., but otherwise just wants to play non-stop. When I play ball with her, I actually have to stop throwing after 30 mins or so otherwise she'd kill herself probably from exhaustion. Sorry for the long post but I'm looking for some advice about this behavior. Thanks in advance. Ray |
