skycat 6,173 Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Just another thought: it's often the most intelligent dogs which are the biggest pain in the arse when they're growing up! Once they start proper work they have something real to occupy their minds. I've got a 2 year old lurcher bitch who still acts like a real goof during the summer when she's not working: last winter, her first proper working season, she really shone, learned very fast and did me proud both ferreting and lamping. To my mind she is typical of a highly intelligent animal that gets bored very fast and constantly wants to work: she's happy to do anything I ask of her, though finding hidden dummies/toys etc really gives her something to work on in the summer. why not try hiding things for your's to find: it might help him focus some of his daft energy!
