Hi Everyone,
Like the title says...I have a 13-month-old goldendoodle who has NEVER been chill since the day I picked her up at 10 weeks old. We've never found her off button. Been through lots of vet appointments, trainers (private and group), daily scheduled training, physical exercise, mental exercises, etc. etc. etc. I know we're in peak adolescence but I also worry that...she's just crazy?!? We've at least been able to sort of learn how to navigate the crazy now, but I'm wondering if anyone else who had a puppy like this ever had them grow into a dog who could chill???
She's never slept anywhere outside of her crate...literally just cannot fall asleep when anything is going on. She obviously has never been left alone without being crated...and it makes me sad to think she might never be able to to! She cannot be trusted out of sight and I am telling you we have tried e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. to work on this. She is so smart and so willing to please, so the trainer really thinks she'll be able to eventually calm herself but I just cannot envision it. Someone please tell me it happened with their pup!!!
Like someone else said on here recently, I am SO ready for a companion and not a full time job!
