My pom puppy is nearly 9 months old and since 7 months has had a tendency to randomly be very impulsive, reactive and crazy when we are out in public. I notice he struggles on buses, in cars, in cafes. Sometimes will bark on the way to the park. He seems frustrated/overstimulated. He used to be able to do these things fine, and sometimes he can if distracted with a chew. Other times he is crazy. It’s embarrassing and I cried on the bus. Lol
We have tried lots of things to try to get him used to these scenarios, but they don’t really seem to be working. Could this be him forever? Or is it a fear period… 2 months seems too long.
SOS will he calm down haha. He has not been neutered yet – can’t tell if this will help or hinder his behaviours…
