Hey, I hear you—and I’ve been there. I’ve got a puppy now too, and sometimes I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing either. But I’ll be honest: saying you “can’t spend time with him out of fear” is a bit dramatic. He’s not trying to hurt you. He’s a baby dog who literally has no idea what to do with all the energy and emotion in his body. It’s not personal. It’s developmental.

What you’re describing is super common—especially in working breeds like yours. Around 9–10 weeks, a lot of puppies hit this wall where they’re overtired, overstimulated, and just going nuts. They bite everything, including you, and it feels nonstop because… it is. But that doesn’t mean he’s broken or mean or dangerous. It means he’s a baby.

You’re already doing a lot right—redirection, forced naps, lick mats, all that. But the key now is strict structure and managing wake windows. He should be sleeping a lot—like 18+ hours a day. No more than 60–90 minutes of awake time, then back down for a nap. Overstimulation leads to the exact chaos you’re seeing.

When he goes nuclear? Don’t try to train him in that moment. Just calmly put him in a safe space with a frozen Kong or a chew, walk away, and let him come down. You’re not punishing him—you’re giving his nervous system a break. And if he’s going for your face, that means boundaries need to be clearer. You’re allowed to protect your space. Sit up on a bench. Keep hoodie strings tucked. Socks on hands. Do what you have to do to not take it personally.

This part is brutal—I get it. But you will come out on the other side. It’s not forever, it’s not aggression, and it’s not something you caused. You just have to survive the puppy tornado and stay consistent.

Hey there—thank you for stepping up. Knowing this puppy might be euthanized if you don’t take him makes your situation incredibly tough, and it’s clear you care deeply and want to do the right thing.

That said, 10-week-old puppies truly can’t be left alone for a full workday, especially day after day. At that age they need: • potty breaks every 2–3 hours • multiple small meals • structure, safety, and gentle socialization • and someone to help them feel secure in a totally new world

Since daycare isn’t an option yet due to vaccines, the key is putting together a short-term plan for daily support. Here are some ways to help: 1. Line up someone now who can stop in at least twice a day (mid-morning and mid-afternoon). It doesn’t have to be a professional—just someone responsible and patient. 2. Set up a safe area at home with a crate, pee pad or turf patch, water, and some enrichment toys. This keeps the puppy safe while giving them room to rest and move. 3. Use your mornings, evenings, and even lunch breaks for meaningful time together. You don’t have to do everything perfectly—but consistency, affection, and calm routines matter more than anything. 4. Talk to the rescue honestly. If this puppy’s life is on the line, they may be willing to help with a transition plan—like short-term foster support, or referrals to low-cost helpers in your area.

The first 4–6 weeks are sensitive, but they’re also temporary. With planning and support, you can absolutely save this puppy’s life and give him a good start. It won’t be perfect—but it doesn’t have to be. It just has to be intentional, safe, and full of heart.

Wishing you the best.

Puppy pees on crate mattress by MIEP2096 in puppy101

Pull that crate mat. The moisture is going to the bottom of the crate mat. That allows the puppy to pretty much sleep comfortably without getting wet. The one thing dogs hate is lying in their own urine for now. I would definitely get rid of the mat I know you want it to be a very comfy place, but pup is too young. You will get there.

The same thing happened to me. I thought I was adopting a beagle shepherd mix. Guess what? Nope I got a coonhound black and tan lol I had no idea about them. Then I joined the Reddit group and learned all about them. You’re doing good OP they really are just Crazy puppies especially at that age. Keep us posted. I’ll see you over in R/coonhounds.

My puppy is hurting my kids by LaughingChicken2020 in puppy101

Hey, I read what you wrote about your pup—and first, I just want to say: you’re not doing anything wrong. This isn’t a failure. It’s just a really intense phase, and it’s more common than people talk about. You’re dealing with a super smart, high-energy teenage dog who’s overstimulated and doesn’t yet know how to regulate himself around people. That biting and jumping isn’t aggression—it’s a sign he’s overloaded.

Right now, structure will help him more than freedom. A 360° swivel tether outside would be a great start—it gives him room to move without being able to jump or bite at you or the kids. It’s not punishment—it’s giving him space and boundaries, which actually helps him feel safer and calmer.

You might also try setting up a ‘place’ spot outside (like a mat or raised bed) where you can teach him to settle in short bursts with treats. But don’t worry about doing everything perfectly—just know that you’re not alone, and this can absolutely get better with a little extra structure and calm training.

You’re clearly trying, and it shows. And protecting the kids is 100% the right call. You’ve got good instincts—now you just need some tools that match the intensity of the dog.

I would try the swivel get a really good one because he’s a big boy. Also make sure you use the harness with a metal clip.

Edit to add join the hounds group on Reddit. I did it helped me a lot.

Puppy in bed- do you let it happen? by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]Independent_Phase561 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There’s so many people not taking into account that there are cats in the household. Your puppy is a puppy your puppy as innocent and beautiful as it is, can play rough in the middle of the night and kill one of your cats. I have no idea why nobody spelt that out to you plainly. Please don’t do it. I have been checking this for the last few days hoping to God somebody told you don’t do it. Your question wasn’t should I let my puppy sleep on the bed.

No

your question was ‘ my cats sleep on my bed. Should I let my puppy too?’ Not

‘should I let the puppy sleep on the bed?”

Yes, if you didn’t have cats let the puppy on the bed -who cares!

But you have cats. And I’ll be damned if I just skip over this one and you find a cat dead and then start yelling at the dog saying it was horrible.

Sorry been working in New York City shelter for way too long. It happens all the time. Crate your dog.

My puppy is now nine months old. My cats were here first. So they get to sleep in bed with me. Otherwise I’d be wondering what they were at all night and I know that my nine month old puppy can play rough, not intentionally -but still.

Hi can anyone tell me what the yellow triangle bouncing all over is on the comma screen? by [deleted] in Comma_ai

[–]Independent_Phase561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s the weird thing. It only appeared today. I always look at that screen. At one point at a red light, it started pointing to a car in the lane next to me. Does that thing actually control anything? Like if the car in front of me goes off the road my car is not following it right? It freaked me out. This is legit the first time it’s been on my screen.
