It usually takes a couple of weeks with a new pup before a new routine gets established. That first week is always rough. Sometimes the second week too, but usually by week 3 we hit our stride. Consistency pays off. Establish good behavior right away. Don't allow teeth on skin, and stop playing if the pup gets too riled up. Tiring them out is important, but so is teaching them to lay calmly is too.
I've been doing my best to be consistent from the start. Thanks for that time frame, that helps a lot.
Playing can make a puppy overstimulated.
Ive learned a lot from a dog thats reactive, fearful of lots of things and gets overstimulated easily
Yes, I was just reading up on overstimulation and over-tiredness a little while ago, and I think we've been just a bit too active for the last few days. Now that I know, hopefully he will level out with more structured rest.
 
So cute. 😁

Today I want a Jack Russel Terrier. I've heard that they are crazy energy bombs, but I always thought they were adorable, lol.
That's what I always wanted too, but than read up on them, and it seemed like too much energy. That's when I discovered rat terriers. They get along with other dogs better, and aren't so gamey. Still like looking at russels. They are gorgeous dogs.
