How "hyper" is Hyper for your pup ??

Hello again.

Just a question.......
How Hyper does your pup get?

My Roxy is a complete Hyper Nut in the mornings, racing around the house, jumping on the furniture ( goodness Help those who are actually sitting on the furniture ) grabbing things she should'nt have etc......
This is also the worst time of day for her Nipping at legs, heels, toes etc.... OUCH

My parents have just moved in with us for a short while and my Mum asked me "is she like this every morning???" and jokingly "That's not normal" My reply was that she is a Pup.....and she is a Staffy

She has only just started going out for walks the last two days ( since finalising her vaccinations ) which she loves but she has sooooooo much energy.

As the day progresses she starts to calm down and behave in a more civilised manner
Please tell me this settles "slightly" at least as they mature out of the puppy stage

Bruno has a mad spell first thing in the morning and sometimes he does early evening too

woody has a "mad one" at some point in the day - thankfully calm in the mornings. i ust make sure the patio doors are open so he can raceout like a loon!

OOPS.........I'm not giggling........i'm Not........OK, maybe just a little........sorry.

Duke is always hyper at about 3pm-5pm every afternoon! Not so bad in the morning though

blitz gets the hyper zoomies about twice a day usually first thing in the morning and around 6 at night i was told dogs get energetic at this time of day because it would have been when they would've hunted

billy is hyper about 7 ish, runs around the garden comes into the house, runs around the living room and back out, does this about 4 times

when Jethro was a baby he was a real nutter!
.. every now and then he still has his mad minute. He just goes berserk, tail between his legs, and runs flat out round and round.. as he flies past he sounds like a race horse in full gallop! Then he is buggered and lies on the ground for 10 minutes to recover!

harvey seems to be hyper all day unless he has a quick nap, or he's watching jeremy kyle!

Hmmm, Bandit still had loopy moments when he was 13 years old! But he was a little calmer by then.

Dempsey was an absolute b**ger for that when he was younger. Thankfully he's a lot calmer now, although every so often he does a bully-run around the house & ricochets off the doors/walls/furniture instead of stopping & turning around! By the way, he didn't really start to calm down a bit till he was about 18 months old!

When Sophie goes hyper its normally because shes getting tired, so we put her to bed in her crate which she loves. Sometimes she takes herself off to bed.

Tali is two and she still goes loopy in the mornings! She loves to grab things shes not supposed to and tear around the flat with them, especially magazines, shoes, clothes etc! Think its just the joys of being alive!

Hollie's quite sedate in the mornings, but about 1pm does her usual gallop/sprinting round the garden into the house, round the sofa's/coffee table (anything she can get around) back out to the garden, up and down the driveway etc etc, then takes herself off to her crate for a lie down

So, i'm definitely not alone. Shoes, clothes, socks, tissues etc.... need to be tied down here to be safe from Roxy.

I luv the way you put that "the joys of being alive"

Bodhi is quiet in the mornings and comes alive when my oldest gets home from school, the ears flat running charge happens everyday can be at various times it is very funny, in patio doors round chair onto sofa off then back out to start again repeat until flops!!
Don't worry though Staffy owners Biddy used to do this everyday until we lost her aged 11 so not a restricted puppy activity..lol..xxxx

Well I can never figure out what it is that sets her off! Its just as if she wakes up and shes like 'WOW I'm ALIVE!! Its so exciting'

Hhahaha she must be Bruisers twin!, he goes skitzo at least once a day, but when people come round our house OMG he goes mad! jumping up at them and all over the furniture and this can last for over 30mins! he no's sit, stay, out etc etc but the min people come round he becomes transfixed on them and it all goes out the window!
i have faith he will calm down in time lol, if not the nuts are coming off lol

Don't get me started with tissues..... I am a person who uses a thousand tissues a day, I'm always sick... yea you know, my whole room was covered by tiny, microscopic snotty tissues.... now the bin has a lid and is high up on my desk. (This has happened multiple times before I moved the bin to my desk)
