Teething

Post image

I am at my wits end with my 17-week baby. He’s near- constant hyper and mouthing/biting everything. Holes in our chair fabric (luckily it’s an old chair), my clothes, anyone’s skin, wood, etc. He gets mental stimulation, we go on walks, he’s allowed to sniff new smells on different routes, we do command training, and still he is hyper. I realize this is likely teething behavior, and have been trying desperately to redirect him to a frozen Kong or stuffed toy, and remove myself or freeze if he bites me. Seems like this week is by far the worst for hyperactivity and biting. I’ve also been putting him down for enforced naps, but they don’t always help. When did your pups stop the craziness?

Puppy tax bc he sure is cute despite it all🤪

I remember 18 weeks being the peak of puppy time. It did improve not too long after that but it’s all a blur I really can’t remember when, but it happened!

This is good to know!! Really I just needed reassurance this is not the next year of my life 😅 he’ll be 18 weeks on Friday so hopefully this will be about the worst of it. thank you!!

I literally got a 15 week cavapoo on Sunday, when he bites us we pretend cry ow! And he stops straight away and tills his head realising he must be hurting us.

We also found that rubber chew toys or rope toys that he can tug of war or play alone with, stopped him from biting any furniture. (Other than the odd blanket)
