You have gotten some great advice so I just wanted to add my agreement and to emphasize just how important excercise is. I walk Tinkerbell everyday and also play vigourously with her. These little pups have a tremdous amount of energy to drain and if there is no outlet I think that is when the barking and hyper behavior kicks in. Just to give you an idea of how much energy these little guys have, Tinkerbell ran around for the entire 2 hours that we were at the dog park yesterday. I mean full speed running and you know what? She was a lazy quiet calm girl for the rest of the day.
Good luck with your pup. |
