Our pup is about 8.5 months now and is such a buddy. Every day he has a good walk in the morning, hangs out (napping or chewing on bones) while I work at home until about 1pm, when I pop him in the crate for about 3.5 hours (after a potty break) so that I can work at my desk upstairs and get more dedicated work done. He then comes out around 4:30, has another good walk, followed by dinner and hang time until bed around 9:30/10.
The issue: he's such a good boy throughout the day, but 5:30 (post walk/dinner) hits and he becomes an absolute terror. Nibbling at me, humping me, barking at me. He doesn't bite, but he sort of cobs at me non-stop. I've tried ignoring him, being stern with "leave it", sending him to his bed, etc. But this pattern seems to happen both nights at the moment.
Has anyone else experienced this? He's getting neutered in 2 weeks and I'm praying this helps his hormones settle…
