I have moved back home.. and it seems like Hank thinks I am a playmate to him. The only time he is calm and sweet is when he wakes me up in the mornings, and wants to get under my blankets or just to lay on me.. in fact, this morning he was sleeping on top of me. He is such a great dog - but one problem - Yes I know he is only a puppy, but WOW! He has so much energy in that little body of his. He is only 25 lbs or so. He's about 8 months old, and he will be neutured on Thursday. (will that actually help him calm down a bit?)
He seems to think my hands are toys - my feet are toys - my everything is toys to him. He listens very well to my dad, but not really to my mom and I. Any ideas how to really be firm with him, with saying "No!" (which doesn't WORK!) or "bobbing" him on the nose and saying "No!" at the same time, doesn't work either.. and I've tried to walk away, walk towards him, and hide my hands, too. I can't even lay down and relax, without him charging against me and go at my head, and try to get my face and pawing, playing.
He is definitely a difference than Rosie at 8 weeks when we had her... wow! I need help here.
