My parents got me a Pom puppy for my birthday to help with my autism. I don’t like being looked at and I like being left alone but I’m alone usually all the time. They didn’t know he’s 13% American Eskimo and 11% chihuahua they just pictured a purse pet
ever since he’s been here at 3 months he’s been an absolute hyperactive overstimulated mess. I’ve done everything recommended to try to calm him down and keep him quiet.
He doesn’t really bark but he whines.. a lot. He whines if he can’t get to me when I’m working, if he’s in the car, pretty much for any reason. He whines if I try to spend time with my so too which makes it difficult.
Hes 9 months now. I was told many times oh at 6 he’ll be better.. at 8… at 9… he’s almost 10 months and he’s still constantly overstimulated, constantly hyperactive and constantly whining if he can’t immediately get what he wants.
Oh but I’ve ignored it! I’ve done relaxation protocol. I’ve trained him randomly in a down he just whines all the time doing it.
He won’t sleep outside his crate he will constantly stay moving so he has has to be tethered or in a play pen during work because either he’ll have an accident in the apartment or he will get into something.
I tried the wrap food in a towel puzzle but he tried eating the towel.
He figured out puzzle toys too fast and then chews apart the puzzle.
He just has so much energy despite walks and don’t get me started in that he knows heel but the second he’s outside I don’t exist. He kangaroo jumps at every person and I don’t like being seen so that’s insanely difficult for me. He has a gentle leader but he will whine and constantly try to take it off.
And like I said I have autism. I’m sensitive to constant high pitched noises and his whining is very high. And I just don’t have the energy to constantly deal with this.
I keep holding out for him calming down. I’ve done all the strict training I see online.
I can’t even get him to go into the balcony to pee on the fake grass during work without having to tell him 3-5 times to bathroom cause he will stretch and get distracted instead and I gotta do my job so uh.. yeah.
When will he start to calm down cause he’s just as hyperactive at almost 10 months as he was at 3-4. And I can’t afford daycare cause I’m poor I barely can take myself to the doctor
I get what my parents were trying to do but every age I keep being told he will calm down he doesn’t change at all… I love the little guy he’s just too much for my autism and my lack of energy.. don’t get me wrong he learns tricks really fast but he doesn’t learn leave it cause he always goes back to it and he doesn’t stop whining and it’s all demand whining. Ignoring it doesn’t lessen it
