Super Hyper Pup
Not too long ago we babysat a neighbor's 4 month old mini dachshund puppy. He told us the pup was active but I had no idea this puppy would be such a terror. It then dawned on me how important training is, because this dog listened to no-one and just continued destroying all in his path even after he was punished. Biting, chewing, growling were just a few of his antics. He never ever stood still the entire weekend. He's so small we thought he'd spend sometime relaxing on the couch with us. But instead he was speeding through the hallways as if he was possessed. He is trained to use his pee pad, however still found opportunities to go on our rugs.
Considering we're getting our puppy soon, the whole experience left us a bit scared. Is this a breed related issue or moreless typical puppy behavior? We expect puppies to be puppies, curious and active, but this dog was beyond my control! Although Ive heard/read/seen corgis as more mellow dogs compared to this one, Im now thinking if this is just the puppy phase for all dogs.
Did any of you experience this?
