Bella will be 2 next month and I thought she would never calm down. Walking her and playing for hours fetching did nothing to play her out. We found she was obsessive with her game of fetch so we stopped doing it on a scheduled time as she was smart enough to know that right after she ate in the morning was when we would play nonstop fetch for her. Now we still do it but not every day and not at the same time. She still goes for her walks every day. It is amazing the change in her in the last 3 weeks. It is like she grew up over night. Now she is happy laying beside me on the sofa, takes her naps in the afternoon and now has decided she would rather sleep in her crate rather than with me in bed. I do miss the bed part....but I am getting more rest...I have also left her for up to 2.5 hours in the house alone and no messes when I come home. She seems to really like her crate more now and when I come back she is usually laying on her pillow napping or sometimes on the sofa.....I never thought she was going to grow up and now that she is I am missing the puppy stage.....just a little...lol. I was wondering at what age your pups matured ...was it around 2 |
