• This asshole is hungry and bored all the time.

    This was yesterday after feeding AND 1.5hours of playing. He gave up licking liver paste because it was too difficult, and eventually retired to his crate.

    Yo-yo training is hit and miss. He doesn’t care if you go upstairs or leave him alone especially if already fed… but even well-fed and walked, he won’t let you leave the house and lock the door behind you.

    Stay in? Sleeps for hours.

    Really need to work out what set of actions gets the right result.

    Also, he’s still very bite-y when I leave him with the OH. She hasn’t learned to be a strong voice yet, but leaves the room until he calms down.

  • How old is he? All sounds like standard puppy life.

    Have you tried waking up early and taking him for say a 5+ mile walk first thing?

    It is a cliche and obviously not the only solution for every dog, but in my experience 'a tired dog is a good dog' works pretty well

  • Looks like he might have some Saluki in the mix? They are famously mental.

    A long walk does wonders for our lurchers, really does conk them out for a few days. We did doggy daycare for our younger one once a week for 18 months or so, helped him from being too crazy indoors after a day of sprinting after every other dog.
