Re: Desperately need help...

I think you just need to be patient for a while longer, and eventually your pup will settle down in to the routines you set up for her. I have two dogs, one is just 4 months, so in the toilet learning stage, but we never kept him locked up in the house during his vaccinations. I think this 'stay inside for a month' thing during the vaccination period causes a lot of behavioral problems, I think the stimulus pups get from experiencing the world outside is more valuable than many vets give credit, but pick the locations carefully. It is obvious that your pup just loves to be out and about getting the sights and scents from her walks. If you have the time take her for a really long walk (several miles if you can) in the morning, enough to tire her out till her next outing, and then play some obedience games with rewards when you get back in the house. Keep her stimulated in both the outside and inside world, and hopefully she will stay settled, and probably sleep the rest of the time. My two dogs are an energetic Border Jack, and a looney Whippet, and they need around 5+ miles of walking/running a day, and the whippet pup gets about three hours playing games with us human house dwellers. This keeps them stimulated and contented most of the time, although the whippet is a thief and a total vagabond.
