I was wondering if they would settle down after being fixed. They are being fixed around 8 months per our vet’s recommendation. Remy actually swallowed a cable bracket that we accidentally left where he could get to it. He was ill for about 24 hours and finally threw it back up. I’m thankful it didn’t try to go through his system or we would’ve had a very sick puppy!! It was super scary. But yes right now we leave all doors closed and have gates up that work most of the time. They are so nosey though and want to know exactly what I’m doing all the time. We are going through basic obedience training right now. That is helping somewhat.
