I think it's a mixture of bratty puppy-hood and not enough exersize. Puppies need LOTS of attention. Kiara wants to play and has wanted to play almost 24/7. Luckily for her she's happy if we just lay on the couch a throw a ball for her.

Do you think maybe either your boyfriend or you can squeeze in a trip to the dog park everyday? I know my dogs are always pooped after the park, even when they were pups. Maybe even invest in a doggie daycare (although that could run expensively)


Good Luck! And I hope you find a good solution.
