Just wondering if any one had any thoughts as to why my 4 1/2 month beagle pup goes absolutely psycho after we get back from a walk - she has half an hour which I think is about right for her age but when we get in she goes crazy and running and leaping onto the sofa round the room and gets growly with it to0! She just ran in and leapt in my OH face so went to put her in crate to calm her down and she really went for me! Any ideas?

Mine do this when they have been stung by nettles

I've got a terrier that has been out shooting today and he's doing a 'wall of death' round the sitting room right now

Almost definitely itchy feet

When you get back before you come in do some basic command work, just some sits & downs to try and help wind her down, sounds like the half hour whilst right for her physically isn't enough for her mentally

Try and have a nice stuffed frozen kong ready and take her straight to her crate with her kong then ignore her for a bit

Thanks thats a good idea I never thought of that! We do run on the field just before she comes home! Could practise after that get her brain going!!

Bella is 7 months old and has just started doing this, I thought it was because she gets hyper on off-lead runs but she even does it when we have been walking on-lead.
Glad it isn't just Bella, I was starting to think she was nuts!!

Dare I say fortunately we dont have that problem with my Bella. But I agree, do some mental work as well

We always find that our Beagle Alfie is most hyper when he is the most tired! He's like a child and will do anything and everything to try and keep himself awake, thankfully he's getting a lot better as he gets older and once he gives in to sleep, it's bliss!

Great advice Blobs on way

Get her thinking rather than being silly
