Puppy a TERROR after obedience class! Help! My puppy just started dog obedience classes 3 weeks ago and every time she comes home she is a total and complete terror! She's making ok progress with housetraining, but will run around the house peeing everywhere after class and won't mind me at all. :eek: Has your dog ever done this after coming back from somewhere? Maybe she's too excited from all of the activity. I take her for a long walk afterwards to pee and burn off energy but it doesn't seem to help. How do you get them to settle down after so much excitement? :confused: |
Yes, it does sound like she is over-excited/stressed. After taking her out to pee, I would probably contain in her one room (that doesn't have carpet), give her a Kong or bone to chew on, and try to ignore her as much as possible so that she can calm herself. |
I think the running around and the peeing are separate issues. Loki runs top speed in circles around the house after class, after daycare, even after a walk. I just figured he was burning extra energy! He even does it after a bath! When he was a puppy he would get excited about a new toy or whatever and have an - simply because puppies have a one track mind and he didn't want to take a break from his toy to go outside. Now he still gets excited, he just doesn't have the accidents any more. For the peeing I would confine her at that time. Confining her when you know she is likely to have accidents is a great way to prevent them! I totally agree about the Kong and letting her calm down. |
