Prick Of A Dog

By walking the pup more you will just create further problems as you will get to a stage where even walking is not enough, the pup needs mental stimulation

not just chewing a bone, you should find mental stimulation will tire the pup out much quicker and for longer.

 

Jenga? KerPlunk? Trivial Pursuit? Snakes and Ladders?

 

Is that the kinda thing you mean????

 

 

LoL

 

No would be easier though.

 

One way is - as he uses dry food scattering the food so the pup has to work at finding it all,

scent games - hiding a rabbit skin dummy, training etc.

Maybe reduce the amount of protein in it's food If you feed dry then look for one with a lower protein content from the same brand

Still only a young pup,and protein is still very high up on the list of demands for anything that's growing at such a fast rate

If the protein levels are too high the opposite will happen and the pup will be growing too quick, bad diet at an early age can result in future problems. A good meat meal is the best as it allows for the dog to grow at a steady pace and steady protein levels, changing foods all the time to different brands causing fluctuations in goodness intake will cause growth spurts, not good for a growing pups bones, tendons, ligaments and muscles.
