Too much energy!

| I hope this helps. Henry sometimes tries to get me to play when all he really wants is some undivided attention. Dogs are very literal, if they think undivided attention means play, they will try to initiate play to get your attention. So I try to make sure that we have regular quiet time where he gets my full attention. We do "smoochies." Henry sit or lies down next to me while I talk very softly to him, he gets slow calming tummy and body rubs and hugs. I do not let Henry initiate smoochies, he gets it as a reward for being well-behaved. He usually goes to sleep afterwards. |
| Shelly,
I would try and get Max to amuse himself - give him a good bone (my dogs love real beef marrow bones) that he can spend some time on. Use the "energy" to work on obedience (he'll get sick of that quickly and want to go lie down! LOL). or ....You could get him a playmate! 
He will calm down (when he's around 10!)

Thanks Henry's Mom! I will try that as well. I have done that unintentually with lucy but lately she has become more "pesty" and I bet that is why. Maybe I haven't quite been giving her enough quite one on one time with out meaning too  . That makes perfect sense with her behavior lately... |
[color=blue][/color][b] While in Obedience School with Griffon ( 10 mos. old) I asked the instructor for suggestions regarding keeping our energetic & curious boy "occupied". She recommended that I buy several different Kong toys then stuff them with peanut butter and freeze them. This was a Godsend !!! Wish I had known about this when Patch was a baby. 
Happy Easter <><[/b] |
