What type of real food do you sugest to feed him? This is what I thought about him just being board, and I did start taking him for walks every day to try to get rid of that energy, but this has not worked. He still comes in the house boucing off the walls and does not take naps, or ever slow down. Then I have heard just the opposite, that I need to make him have rest time because in his case the more tired he gets the worse he can be. I have never seen him actually sleep...only when he was really little. He might get some sleep in his crate at night but only if there are no distractions, but that is when he licks his legs, in his crate when he has nothing else to do. I know a lot about training being a groomer, and reading a lot of good info and I have worked with him a lot. I have gotten a lot of great advice and I really think he just came from a bad breeder. We are going to do our best and work with him a little more. Thank YT for all your support!
