Hi everyone,

My boy is 5 months and i'm hoping that you guys can help me as i've noticed that his behaviour has been changing the past few weeks so i'm not sure if it's normal.

1. I've had him for about 3 months now and recently about a month ago, he has started to pee and poop at inappropriate places like on his water.

2. He seem to forget that he has eaten and if i feed him again he eats like he has not eaten. I have increased his food coz i thought i wasn't giving him enough and he has gained 2kg in one month but he still doesn't stop eating.

3. Other dogs don't like him because he gets too aggressive and attack them for no reason at all.

4. He has also started to hit his head on hard surfaces over and over, he stops when i tell him to. I think it does hurt coz he shakes his head and does it again if he thinks i'm not watching.

5. He is extremly hyper-active and clumsy and get distracted easily. He seem to be confused at times, I'll ask him to go to his bed and he will run to other places first and eventually go to his bed. He also hides in a dark corner under the chair for no reason.

6. He doesn't respond to me when i talk to him in a firm voice, i have to shout or make a loud noise for him to respond.

7. He also doesn't sleep much and spend most of his time playing, if i take away his toys for him to sleep, he start destroying things.

I've been around other dogs before but none of them act like my sammy. He jumps off everytime i try to hold him, he doesn't sit or cuddle with me and doesn't seem to be bonding with me. I walk him daily and sometimes he just sit there in the middle of our walk and doesn't want to walk anymore. He is ALWAYS distracted.

I want to call my vet to bring him in ASAP but i don't want to seem like i'm overreacting. My friend told me that it was normal but i doubt it. Pls tell me that this is a normal puppy behaviour coz even though we haven't bonded much i want to do whatever i can to help him coz he's just so adorable.
