| Playtime |
| This type of dog does have a natural need to secure a dominance. It is important to maintain a type of control over the dog so she/he knows were it's place is in the family. And that's not running all over you. Or your family members. An exercised puppy is a tired puppy - and a well-behaved puppy! Give your puppy new toys to try - different textures to mouth and play with. Try different chews (provided rawhide, or any type of chew that can be eaten up is ALWAYS supervised and never left to lay around), assorted squeakies, etc. Play games like retrieve, rather than tug or hand games that encourage your puppy to mouth. Tug o War is not recommended form of play for these dogs. Too much unsupervised time, either outside or inside, encourages your puppy to invent new and wonderful things to do - and I guarantee you WON'T like them. |
