\i am sooooooooo in agreement with this post! Leave them be! They deserve a babyhood! If you can't cope, DON'T get a dog!

Totally agree with Hemlock on this one

Totally agree with JudyN. (again! LOL)

OMG my brain hurts! Goodness me what a lot to teach a tiny and young brain! Ive had my puppy 7 weeks now he is just 5 months old and I am delighted he remembers to sit and wait without being requested to now! LOL :) Good luck with yours :)

Ther Hi Lucy nice to meet you! I am a new puppy owner too! Mine is also chewing lots and lots! I give him plenty of soft toys to chew on also, difficult time but distraction I feel is the best answer and continue what you are doing with the removing your hands/body for a minute to aid...

Such a great feeling when they trust isn't it! :)

Hi JMF, welcome :) I too am new here, but sooooo happy I joined, loads of advice all very polite and knowledgeable folks here. Enjoy! :)

I like the second option best for me! This way the dog will look to you as a person to trust! Trust building is paramount don't you agree?

So please do tell, how would YOU control an out of control 4 month old puppy, who was just having some fun and letting off steam?

Bless you! I know I will miss them, but I worry so much for his wellbeing. He is the sweetest little chap - I am so lucky with every animal I have had they are or were wonderful, but this guy is a little different, he is SMART and EXUBERANT! LOL One of his favourite games is hide and seek...

LMAO! I think I'll be in for an early grave!

Oh Judy, that is SOOOOOOoooo funny! I actually needed that because I was beginning to think I was a failure as a 'mum'. There is a lurcher puppy next door to me, 7 months old I believe, he is much different to Robin, although he was difficult at puppy training classes and thought every dog he...

Like the sprat idea! Thanks, There are colourings in the treats I'm afraid, I perhaps should just use whole and normal foods. Like the idea about giving whole veg too! He has had some cut up kale, that is very good for them (humans too! ) but perhaps give the whole leaf in future! :) He...

Thanks! :) I did think about electric fence round the pond, but knowing horses as well as I do ( you can check out my webpage if you like, what I do now in my 'retirement'! LOL) Diceys Legacy.co.uk. Obviously not a good idea! LOL I wonder if a run in the field might be a good idea then...

I think I shall skip the lunchtime walk now! .......................................

s A voice of sanity and reason! Thank you! However, please look at my reply below, he has just had another complete mental episode! He does unfortunately jump on and off the furniture, I don't somehow think the quilts would make any difference because I fear he would become more excited by...

Thanks (again!) JudyN. That makes a lot of sense. I've just replied to an earlier response and explained a little more about what this loony pup is like - is this normal, or do you think he has some mental health problems? Or am I doing it all wrong? ...... BTW it is not possible to get a...

Okay, so that is all well and good - however, you have not met my pup! Literally, spent 5 minutes JUST tearing around the lounge and I am quite sure he has a little bit of mental health problems! He is going round and round and round at a really fast rate of knots! I have been unable to catch...

Thank you, yes I do understand. I will shorten the walks exponentally for now. I am not sure how I can get him to NOT belt frantically round the garden or the lounge though, I can only let him in the garden on his lead if necessary, but how so in the house? This is often occurring after he...
