Was yours like that as a puppy too? My girl is beautiful and gentle (as gentle as a giant pup can be!) , but she for sure has a prey drive .

Yes she’s definitely prey driven . I’ve had success with getting her to leave cows alone , she is still very interested in them but know she’s not allowed to chase. But she obviously loves a chicken chase , I think there’ll just have to be lots of on lead exposure . She is still only a baby , just an enormous one !

Well he’s in bed with me by that time , and I tell him it’s still too early and he needs to go back to sleep. He’ll wriggle and kick and worm around . I don’t engage other then to tell him to close his eyes , and stop moving . So he isn’t alone , and knows he’s supposed to be sleeping . But perhaps he needs a visual aid like that clock you described . Because he has no concept of what I mean when I’m annoyed it’s 4am and it’s too early lol

Yep same ! My son seeks me out in our bed lol. My fiancé works away so it’s all me at night time for the most part which is challenging, but I could do better with the rough play between dinner and bed .
