You've given him all of 24 hours to get it - it takes pups usually the first 12 months of their lives to fully get into the swing of what is expected of them if you are a 'casual' dog owner. Some people are a lot more intense about their training and work on their dogs a lot harder, or are more experienced so the pup learns faster, but seriously, it will take months and months of repetition on your part, you can't lose patience with him or you'll never get anywhere. It's all part and parcel of having a puppy, they don't arrive with a household rulebook, you need to teach them, and when they get it right, make sure they know about it.

he is walked once a day but its a big walk for a puupy. we teach him to sit and other basic commands during the day.he is fine when he has his kong stuffed but when its gone it starts. i know he is a puppy but there must be somethimg i can do to prevent the hyperactivity.

How old is this dog?

What breed is he (if any)

What do you feed him on?

How many times?

Who else lives in the house eg do you have children and if so how old?

Why do you think the pup is hyperactive?

Have you taken him to the vet?

he is 4months old and yes we have a 9 month baby but we dont have him in here that often when our son is around. we feed him on gilda puppy food and is fed 3 times a day. he is a labrador. he just repeatedly goes back to his bed and humps it bites it and there is no stopping him. if we leave him in kitchen he demolishes our walls

Have you considered splitting his walk into two shorter walks either end of the day? It breaks up the period of time stuck in the house and he'll be more likely to calm himself when he's indoors.

If he's just humping and biting his bed but not tearing it to bits and pulling the stuffing out of it or anything like that, I'd just ignore him and let him get on with it, he'll soon get bored - he might even do it because he enjoys the reaction out of you guys and the attention it gets him.

If he doesn't often get to go in the room then it's going to be super-exciting for him when he does get to go in.

I couldn't find gilda food online but check the ingredients - if it's full of grains and additives with very little meat then that could be making him a bit hyperactive too.

Also, how long is the long walk? If it's excessively long then not only will it be bad for his joints, but he could be actually getting over-tired and too wound up. Does he sleep lots during the day?

And like smokeybear said, it's a good idea to take him to the vet to check everything's ok if you don't think it's normal puppy behaviour.

Good luck

i thought if a dog was humping then you are supposed to stop this unwanted behavior immdiatley. also we leave him in kitchen and i am in there every 2 mins because he is diving on benches. i will start taking him for shorter frequent walks to see if this helps my situation

The best way to stop unwanted behaviour is to train an alternative. When he starts, distract him with a tug toy and play with him. He isn`t going to play on his own (hump the blanket) if you play with him because you are more fun.
Pups should not have long walks - it put undue strain on the joints. Short walks at frequent intervals are better, and will lessen his boredom.
