15 weeks lab mix with sheperd and he's been with us for almost 2 months now. I have no clue on what to do anymore:
Excitement, whining, and jumping all together whenever our friends come over to our house. I've told my friends to ignore him, but he just won't stop jumping, and he would not listen to me. I tried put him on leash, still the same. Even when he finally sits, then when our friends start pet him then he started do all those things again. He has stop jumping on me, even when he get really excited he knows he's manner ( he sits and I say hi/pet him). To my husband, ONLY whenever my husband gets home from work, but nothing as worse like if friends come over. He doesn't do that to strangers. It is getting annoying, to us and to our friends. He is literally like kids get crazy from too much sugar.
One of our friends says that because he has too much energy. His energy seems just never ends. I do stay home all day. We walk him 3 times (morning, afternoon, evening) for 15-20 minutes in the morning/evening and 10 minutes at noon .Play fetch twice during the day about 10-15 minutes each, play "find it", train/play about 5-10 minutes each, i also let him wonder around by himself in the backyard, and we also play laser tag. He gets bored with his toys easily, he doesn't like to play with them by himself but I just ignore him. Before anyone says to try Kong toys, yeah..still not doing it. I noticed he doesn't chew his toys as much as he used to. What am I missing here?
I wonder if he's actually exhausted but just don't want to stop to play, or gets even more hyper when he's tired???
