  • This is our situation at home between my spouse (the one who the dog listens to and adores) and myself (the one who’s the playmate/chew toy he won’t disengage from). Our dog is a little over a year old now, and this was a much bigger problem a few months ago. Part of it is age for sure. The other part is your dog’s breed and temperament — he might just need more stimulation, which can be a huge pain if you’re working, it’s dark outside, etc.

    I suggest a flirt pole to try and tire him out. Plenty of videos out there on technique and such, but it’s basically working on a couple commands and running/agility really intensely for maybe 10-15 minutes and he’ll get good and tired, mentally and physically. Have other members of the family work with him too. Just make sure you get the “drop it” part down so the lure doesn’t fly back into your face (some experience speaking here lol). Good luck! The puppy phase is a challenging time for sure.
