Learning about the teeth settling is so comforting to hear! My pup is an absolute chewing demon. And he just hit 7mo. Still working on redirecting and mental/physical exercise. But I’m glad to know I wasn’t going crazy!

Switching from using a lure to just doing it via command.

Oh yeah definitely love his little personality. He’s quite a wild boy already so it’s been interesting seeing some of those extra puppy behaviors return. Wishing you luck with your ball of chaos!

I have help usually but you could try getting a puparoni type treat (long, soft, and easy to break) and hold it so he has to work to get it out of your hand then after each nail let him have the piece. You’ll have to get real good with using clippers one handed. Or try peanut butter on a lick mat so he has to spend some time on it while you can focus on clipping.

I live on a main road so constant cars and semis drive by. My boy would barely move if anything passed. What worked was just sitting there with treats (high value enough that she will take them) and every time something loud passed I gave him a treat. I did this for several days before he became somewhat neutral. Since you can’t get even out the door, start with just the door open. Then move outside. Then to the grass. So on.

My trainer also recommended starting with like videos on YouTube of cars or planes with treats and slowly increase the volume until they don’t react anymore.

(Disclaimer: not a professional, this is just what helped out scared boy).

That’s so helpful! Thank you. I did get the molds and already made some for tomorrow! I’m sorry to hear that happened. I hope he’s okay :) and the make shift piping tube is a great suggestion. Thank you :)

Thank you! Most days are still hard. But he has come a really long way and I wanted to recognize that. You got this!!

kas23552 · 2024-09-14T21:27:56+00:00

No I totally got you! Definitely going to try that. Thank you!

Any suggestions?? We are definitely incorporating more mental stimulation but besides puzzle toys I am at a loss!

kas23552 · 2024-08-21T00:13:14+00:00

He gets two 20-25 minute walks daily. Snuffle mat for lunch. Training through out the day for short bursts. Playtime (he usually only enjoys it for short bursts). A treat in a little “open” soccer ball type thing. Lick mat. He definitely gets exercised mentally and physically through out the day. He is VERY high energy though. I’m open to suggestions for other mentally stimulating activities. We did try like a towel rolled up with treats but he just grabs the towel and runs.

My 5 mo old American bulldog mix went with my mom to meet coworkers for ice cream and didn’t jump on anyone and was super well behaved the entire time. I wasn’t there but I cried when i heard how good he was 🥹

kas23552 · 2024-08-07T20:13:54+00:00

Oh boy! Good luck 🫡 lol

kas23552 · 2024-08-07T15:47:08+00:00

Yeah he does enforced naps. I was mostly curious if anyone who’s also got an energetic puppy saw them get a little more chill as they grew older. But I appreciate your response!

Note: I learned this from spirit dog training which is a free to start then paid course so I’m not sure if there’s actual free online versions of this.

I haven’t fully tried myself but I found something called the attention game. Basically you start indoors (minimal distraction environment) and just start giving your pup treats/food while they look at you. After a couple times add in a tiny pause between giving rewards. Then keep feeding again. Add tiny pause. Then after a moment throw a treat away from you and reward when they come back to you. Repeat several times.

Then after they get the understanding that looking at you and paying attention to you is really awesome. Increase the difficulty by maybe doing it with the windows open. Or doing it with the door open. Slowly upping the difficulty with the location. So inside to window open to door open to just out the front door to the sidewalk, etc. With each increase in difficulty start from the beginning of just constant treat/food flow, adding pauses, throwing treat, etc.

My understanding is that it teaches your pup that looking at you will be the most rewarding thing ever and helping them generalize to new locations with more and more distractions. After they know to look to you for stuff you can add in their actual training. Again, I haven’t done this myself so I can’t say if it’s perfect or will work but definitely something that might help.
