I too didnt realize how much energy these little furballs have, and when he first got home and was crying I almost got rescue remedy to calm him down and even considered taking him back....that was around halloween.
But I kept hearing, he's just a puppy and realized he really was just a a baby...learned to talk long walks when I can tell he is getting edgy(which are good for your health anyway) and I take him to play with another puppy friend (Bailey can hardly move after playing for 4 hours straight), and teaching him the house rules.
Bailey is 20 weeks and knows that when he barks to get on the couch that means chill out or he goes back down on the floor away from god forbid, his parents and their warmth and attention.
He's been on the couch either watching tv, falling asleep hear and there, or chewing his toy since I got on YT around noon today lol.
It will get better - just stay firm; Bailey is still very hard headed at times. |
