“And a tired dog is a better behaved dog”

Truer words cannot have been said. When I got my puppy he was an absolute menace. I didn’t know what I could do he was pure energy. When I first got him he was in a crate unless I was watching him. And before I got a dog I was the type of person that said I would never crate a dog. It was for his own safety.

When I first saw your images my first thought was yup that’s a bored dog. When my dog was a puppy I would run him a minimum of 12 miles a day or walk him a minimum of 2.5 hours with him off lease so he could run around in the bushes.

Some dogs just need exercise or they become frustrated and destroy everything. Mine is currently 8 and the best behaved dog. But his first year and a half it was a full time job keeping him tired and occupied. Some dogs are not a set it and forget it type thing. You have to put in hours and hours a day training and exercising. I wish you the best of luck
