I have a four month old mixed-breed puppy (her vet said maybe hound dog and cattle dog). I love her so much – she's active and silly and gets along with all the people/dogs she's met so far.
The one thing I've really struggled with is helping her sit down and chill when nothing is going on. She gets good exercise (2-3 walks a day, playtime every day, and doggie daycare 1-3 times a week). Recently, she's started taking an hour or two long nap in her crate when I close the door and leave her alone which is an awesome improvement. Also, sometimes I can get her to sit and chill on a blanket near my desk for 15ish minutes if I throw a piece of kibble down there every few seconds (but she loses interest as soon as the food is gone, haha).
I was wondering if anyone has more tips for helping her to chill more. She's definitely tired – and hopefully not overly so since she's a pretty active breed – but has no off button!
