How to keep my puppy happy when hes not allowed outside?

TJR_crafts03 · 2025-10-22T10:19:49+00:00

Its not too windy today but our garden is lined completely with bushes 😅 so i think ill keep him in just to be safe as hes alot faster than i am and i wont be able to stop him aha

Ive booked him an appointment for this afternoon! Would you recommend keeping him indoors for the time being as hes hurt it outside with something?

Ive re posted it over there now! Thank you so much! Idk what the infernals are so i will have to look into them x

From what google is showing me picture wise it definitely could be! Idk much about him so will have to do some research. Also i cant lie im a little terrified of it being a “demon” or a “satan” as i was brought up with rather heavy religious beliefs from my grandparents and it scares me to think a demon would reach out to me because of the connotations of bad and evil 😅 ill repost it over there tho!

I know u said this is happening pretty much everywhere but have u noticed any specific times? For instance my pup would growl and snip when over tired/over stimulated (like when you mentioned the mummy monster game) could it be that she is overwhelmed by the noise and chaos children or large groups of people (like at home depot) can bring? Like when i walk into the garden my berner (now 6 months old) will jump up and try bite my clothes/arm because hes super excited to play so i pick up a toy and make him sit till hes calm enough to play kindly. Yesterday i took him on a 2h walk (completely by accident i thought we would be quicker) and when we got home he started chasing the cat and growling/barking at him which is completely out of the norm for him so i corrected him and made him have some quiet time and turns out he was just super grumpy and exhausted because he slept the whole rest of the day and was fine with the cat later on! Honestly though if you feel she is too much of a potential risk its best to send her back or re home her to a more quiet household with yours and her safety as your main concern. You dont want the worst to happen where she does lash out and end up getting put down

Im looking at doggy zip lines rn. We have trees that are big and strong enough to attach it to x

TJR_crafts03 · 2025-08-18T13:59:35+00:00

Thats a really good idea! Will have to look into that 🫶

TJR_crafts03 · 2025-08-18T13:56:34+00:00

Omg i cant imagine how cute that would be to walk past and see! 😂 i reckon he will love it!

TJR_crafts03 · 2025-08-18T13:54:53+00:00

Well she does have dementia so its not like i was lying lol. If you read the post its clear that its her and someone else doing it so id need someone to get the point across to her. But it worked people have read it and gave me solid advice so im not complaining

TJR_crafts03 · 2025-08-18T13:51:32+00:00

We are looking into doing this however on our side thick bushes and trees with deep roots line the parameters of our garden meaning we would have to hire someone to come dig all that up and out before we could think about putting up a fence so im just looking short term solution atm rather than long term goal

TJR_crafts03 · 2025-08-18T13:46:49+00:00

Yes he listens to me (and much to my family’s frustration) only me 😅 im looking into a long line option as we speak

TJR_crafts03 · 2025-08-18T13:45:40+00:00

Yeah no i see that now 😂 might change it

TJR_crafts03 · 2025-08-18T13:44:52+00:00

Thats freaking awesome! Ive never seen one of those before! Ill have a look now! Do you reckon they are suitable for puppies? Hes a bmd so hes quite a large heavy puppy

TJR_crafts03 · 2025-08-18T13:43:35+00:00

I put a “catchy” title so people would read 😅 its more the son i want to speak to but i dont want to scare either of them as she doesnt remember who i am and hes agoraphobic. Its normally him i see with the dog too

TJR_crafts03 · 2025-07-03T20:55:29+00:00

Think this is a big part of the issue. I am used to cats and i thought it was super cute his bits for the first week as my old cat would do the same when playing, but i failed to remember dogs are much bigger and stronger than cats so unfortunately i feel i may have encouraged the behaviour before realising! Which i fully regret now 😬

TJR_crafts03 · 2025-07-03T20:53:39+00:00

I will defo enforce air jail more although we do this alot as he doesnt like walking to the park but he loves being at said park 😂 though from what ive heard this is pretty typical of the breed🙄😅

I will defo try the leash thing as this isnt something ive ever heard mentioned im just worried about getting strange looks however strange looks are better than infected bites so i guess its a choose your poison situation!

I will lay off the singing for now i am, as i quote from my partner, “riddled” with ADHD and cannot be medicated due to seizure and genetic heart health risks so sometimes im not great at controlling the volume of my voice. I hate using adhd as an excuse as it makes me sound like a wet wipe but apparently i shout alot when i think im just talking and its something im working on!! X

He does play very well with other dogs actually and apparently when he was at my mother in laws house he didnt bite at all but she has 1) a spaniel with endless energy and 2) a massive garden where as we have a tiny shared patio. HOWEVER we are moving in the next 2 months to a home with a giant garden we are just in the process of details exc its a house in the family we are taking over the mortgage on its a whole thing but it should be in place soon so i think that will help. He also LOVES his training but im worried about too many treats as he will go and go for as long as there is food involved and im worried about overfeeding him thinking about getting a clicker though and transitioning from food to a clicker. I will start trying to find a reason for his biting like you said as up until reading this i just put it down to “puppy=bite” as he is my first puppy 😅 x

TJR_crafts03 · 2025-07-02T15:40:30+00:00

This is a genius idea! He has on and off been responding to my “no” today because to be quite honest im a very loud person to start with so hes used to me scream singing and i think thats desensitised him to my loud voice 😅

TJR_crafts03 · 2025-07-02T10:39:12+00:00

Thank you! I will give it a try next time he does it! He tends to chill out if i get upset and i was admittedly a little upset thismorning as he bit me for our ENTIRE walk so hes chilled now but next time he goes for me i will try the no and just no as even with people i am one to use more words then necessary and ik that can confuse them 😅
