I have a two parter here:
1) I have tried to get my puppy (12 weeks) to settle and she still doesn't have it in her. Strangely, when she's in her cordoned off area, she's mostly relaxed. The second she's allowed into the larger area, she freaks out and runs and jumps and bites and plays. She knows to lay at our feet and relax, but she doesn't. (We know she knows this because when we ignore her, that's what she does - though there is no actually settling. When we don't treat her, she barks at us.) Thoughts on how to get her to chill out?
2) Our puppy has figured out that jumping on furniture then jumping off gets a treat. We've tried a number of options. We've tried treating her every time she gets off the furniture, but she's figure that out so she jumps up, waits for "off", then jumps off, gets her treat, and immediately jumps back up. We've also tried ignoring her but when we do that she just starts chewing everything she can reach. Ideas on how to get her to stay off furniture?
