| Hyperactive?? I need some help... My Nike is 8 months now. But he is always sooo hyper! I mean if the doorbell rings he barks uncontrollably until you let him out the cage or open the door. And whoever new walks in the house he jumps all over them and doesn't take a breath. I mean it is continuous. If I am trying to walk him outside and there are people outside, he can't even concentrate on using the bathroom because he is so focused on trying to get free from the leash and chase and play with the people. Is this normal? Will he grow out of it? Is there anything I can do to calm his hyperactiveness? Other dogs in my neighborhood are so calm. Not Nike!! OH NO!! What can I do? |

| First off... welcome to YT... he could NOT be cuter than he is!!! i could eat him up a suggestion.. take him to puppy classes... he needs to a) have lots of socialization... and b) have commands... you need to be able to tell him to sit... wait.... stay... when soemone comes in.. right now he has no where to really direct his energy... and he needs to be WORN OUT puppy class is GREAT for that |

| Make sure he has all his puppy shots before enrolling him in obedience class. While he is in a state of anxiety when the door bell rings, you should never let him out or open the door till he is calm. You need to practice this with someone. There are really good video's of Cesar Millan's approach to training. http://www.cesarmillaninc.com/ |
