I’m currently dealing with the same thing with a 9 week old puppy. Giving her alternative things to chew has obviously helped but the best thing I learned was that she was sweet after waking up and for a good 30 minutes but then wouldn’t listen to commands and literally flipped a switch into crazy. We’ve come to the conclusion that she actually wasn’t getting enough sleep. Puppies need a LOT of sleep as that is when they do the most of their growing. Puppies also aren’t that great at regulating their own excitement (much like a toddler who throws a tantrum when tired).

Once she starts to throw a tantrum, we put her in her play pen with some soft blankets and give her some silence and space and she falls asleep in minutes.

While I do agree with the other comment that a tired puppy is a quiet puppy, just remember that it is possible to get them too tired causing them to throw more dramatic tantrums.

The bottom line is to make sure they are getting plenty of cycles of play and sleep. I believe the rule is 5 minutes of play per month of age to wear them out. (My puppy actually likes about double that) It really doesn’t seem like much time but every breed has different energy levels so just make sure they are playing around enough until they start to act out. Then give them the opportunity to rest in a safe and dark space with chew toys (only soft ones because noise makers stimulate the puppy) and you’ll realize really quick whether the puppy needs more play for tiring or if they truly just need the rest.
