It is possible that your puppy is getting a bit hyper after running around outside and seeing the wildlife. Being wet from the snow may also help drive that behavior. Do you dry her off and warm her up as soon as you come in? I know she is small now and can't get very far but puppies tend to get faster and braver as they get older. Maybe consider putting her on a leash. She may see a squirrel that looks like great sport someday and take off after it.
I live in a wooded area also. Along with deer we also have foxes and coyotes. We don't see them very often. Just enough to know they are out there. Gracie loves her walks in the woods but she stays on the leash while she sniffs every scent of animal she can find.
Now is a good time to start leash training for your puppy. It may calm down her behavior inside also. |
