• How am I supposed to work and stop a 4m old puppy from wreaking havoc?
    He’s a bit nippy and has a thing for my sleeves. It’s a constant battle between substituting for something more interesting and dissuading him from doing it in the first place.
    …all the whole, no work is getting done. 🙄

  • sometimes you've got to just take a 20 min break and play with the pup. Also it can help to get a ball that hides treats to keep them occupied. It's tough, and I now don't feel bad about putting slightly too large treats in the ball or not helping her get it unstuck from somewhere if it keeps her occupied longer.

  • I'm just joking really. He's getting loads of attention and I think he's worn himself out now because he's just gone for a snooze..meaning I should be working! I could murder a cuppa but I'm scared to disturb him now haha

  • not helping her get it unstuck from somewhere if it keeps her occupied longer.

    LOL. Piris ball rolls under the sofa and he is enthralled by it for ages. It's the best part!

    I also found that sometimes just walking away was good, he didn't know when to stop. But if I went out, or into another room he'd complain for a moment but then would basically pass out from tiredness. So don't be afraid to use a 'timeout'.
