Hehe, Cash was crazy at that age too. He is turning two on the 24th of Jan
. I remember that it got so bad sometimes that it was too much to handle (I am a single parent
). I actually thought that I would have to give him away, but instead I enrolled him in excellent training classes. He graduated at the top of his class and we have been best buds ever since. He still gets wild and other people get really mad at him, but I know how to handle him now.
Hang in there - it gets a lot better when they get older. The mood swings and tantrums go away (Cash still sulks sometimes, but nothing major and only when he gets a bath and invariably a verbal bashing since he doesn't believe in standing still for more than two seconds
). And the sweetest dogs emerge. My advice is to try some training - proper training (the puppy socialization classes was run by an ineffectual woman and actually caused more problems) - and try to see the experience as a way to strengthening your patience.
