[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 561632, member: 14557"] Buddy: Glad to hear things are going so well with JJ. I hope he will give both you and Q a lot of joy. And of course be helpful with Q. Janet: Have you tried making trails for Maggie? I have always found it the easiest way to exhaust all that puppy energy. Using their noses tires them much quicker than anything else. I tend to make my puppies work for their meals. I start in my garden/near by forest and walk with baby steps and putting one piece of their food to each step. They tend to quickly get an idea and then I walk normally and only put a piece of food every now and then and leave rest of the food in the end of the trail in container. First you can let a puppy see when you are doing the trail and let them go through it right away, but when they get better, you may want to do trail earlier and let them sniff it few hours later (and if you don't feel safe to leave their food in the end of it, you can just leave a bowl and take food with you while they are sniffing the trail.) Few trails a week (and first ones are short, like 100 feet, later they should be longer and have some turns) tend to keep energy level much more appropriate at home. [/QUOTE]
