 Baby jumping in pen
My baby is 16 weeks and a little @ 3#4oz. When he is in his Xpen, and wants to be let out, he will jump so high, like a little jumping bean and now that he is a little bigger, it almost looks like he is going to scale over the sides. I read somewhere that puppies should not jump from heights any higher than their height, but he is able to jump up higher than that. My question is, is this harmful to their legs/hips/joints??? I am concerned and wonder what ideas anyone may have about how to curtail this. He also won't come when called. He knows his name, but when I approach the pen to get him, he does the jumping thing and then will not come. I have to put one of my legs over into his area before he comes over. He is very hard to catch!!! Is this just a training issue? Does anyone else have this going on??? Any suggestions.... |
