Hi and welcome to YT....my babies are very hyper too but they do settle down eventually. Whenever they come running towards me the first thing they do is jump at me to kiss my face. I always grab them and hold them tight to me and say settle until they do. Once they settle down they usually go and play like maniacs with each other. This is where a second one comes in handly. They tucker each other out and play like crazy. Mine have also been difficult to train. Like yours mine were shredding the pads to pieces, even after buying the tray to keep them secure. I finally am using washable pads but at times they try to drag them along too. I put something heavy on the one end to keep it in place. They are 100% trained on a pad when in their xpen but when free will take every opportunity to mess on the carpet, floor, behind the couch etc. All it takes is one second to look away and it's done.
Try holding your pup closely to you until she settles. After a few times she should catch on and settle down much quicker. Good luck!! |
