For all new puppys I recomend obedience classes. If can't attend a class, get some training videos and / or books. Start working on your training as soon as possible and all kinds of emerging undesirable behaviors can be controlled. IT's a great when you can teach your dog to use their energy productively (cleaning up the apartment for treats, closing doors, giving you a back rub). These things might sound really exotic and difficult but it's really not so hard as you think! A hyper dog is a dog waiting for a job to do. |
