Hello all,
So I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this with their pup. Some of you know that my partner and I found an abandoned Lab X, Kenzii, who is almost a year old now (they grow so fast!). Since the day we brought her home she's been very reactive to strange things/noises/situations, but has been improving as she gets older. However, lately I'm figuring out that she's more prone to freak out sessions if she:
1. Doesn't get enough exercise
2. Gets too much exercise without a mid afternoon nap
Anyone else's puppies have to be put to bed in the middle of the day? Like I said, she has been doing a lot better reacting positively to noises (we live in an apartment) and people being around, until she gets over tired. Then the hackles come up and stay up until she's slept it off. I knew toddlers needed naps, but I never would have guessed my adolescent dog still would :dogwacko:
