• I'm hoping it's this. And that it'll pass. It's like a switch has flipped. She suddently become hyperactive, anxious, barking, yelping and growling for attention but then running away when approached. She's gone manic and won't settle to sleep in the day. She looks exhausted and just generally seems really agitated and occasionally distressed.

    She used to take herself off to chew something or have a nap after a few minutes of being ignored, but as of yesterday afternoon she just yowls and barks and growls and jumps up and down, then scarpers when you try to come near her.

    It's a tad trying.

  • Crumpet (aged 4 and a bit), still gets in funny moods when she's overly tired. One of the best things we've trained into her is "bed". Really handy when she's tired and grumpy because she'll usually go to bed and fall asleep but also handy when she's begging or otherwise being naughty/annoying because it's a nice reset.
    Good luck with it, I'm sure it's just a phase. Puppies are wild beasts.
