We have a lovely new whippet puppy who is a joy for most of the time, we've had him for a week but for the last three nights he has had a completely bonkers half hour when he behaves like something possessed. He's toilet trained but he wees in the living room straight after I have shown him the door to go outside at night. He jumps on the sofa and refuses to get off, even though he's not allowed on the sofa and stays off it all day. He jumps up, bites runs around like a thing possessed, when he's in this frenzy he digs everything and anything - it's so out of character to the way he behaves for the rest of the day - mostly sleepy, cuddly, playful.
Currently we're trying to use distraction with toys to channel his energy. He has his allowed time walking everyday, we play with him - when he's awake. I don't really know what I should be doing when he's frisky like this - ignoring him, crating him.....any ideas?
