Hi All,
it's been a while since i have been on here, asking for advice about coco. This time though it's not coco at all, it is my mum's puppy, Daisy.
Daisy is 8 months now and is quite possibly the most hyperactive dog i have ever seen. We bought her for my mum because my mum was so in love with coco and we thought it would be good for my mum as she is now living alone. while daisy is absolutely adorable, she is beyond excitable - she literally throws herself at you, landing on her back and jumping back up, she never sits still and is hyper 24/7. if you can get her to rest on your lap for 5 minutes you are doing well. If there is a such thing as ADHD for dogs, then daisy definitely has it. all of this is proving quite stressful for my mum as she is not coping with daisy very well. she even got spayed last week and by the next morning she was back running around the place, jumping up and down on the couches and tearing around the garden. I was terrified she would pull her stitches out. I am not sure if anything can be done to calm her down, except copious amounts of exercise (which does little to curb her energy) but my mum is 60 now and cant handle much more than half hour walks per day. any advice would be appreciated
