Brought my rescue dog home just over a week ago, all was going well, he’s pretty nervous (or so it seemed) but seemed calm, followed me around, came to bed at night etc.l, the odd accident for the first 2 days. I was then taken I’ll and had to go to hospital for 3 days, my mum stayed at mine and looked after him, she said he was doing great and behaving well but having the odd crazy moment in the evening. I have been home a couple days and the dog is sleeping a lot during the day due to it being hot but at 9pm onwards he’s going absolutely crazy, bouncing off the walls, charging around the garden, trying to jump on me, refusing to settle at bed time. Last night I put him back downstairs and went to bed, he passed everywhere, at 2am I brought him back up to bed but he went crazy again, trying to nip me and jump up. Because I can’t risk him jumping on me (had surgery) I had to put him on the lead and sleep with him attached to me, he eventually went to sleep but has good crazy again this morning and peed all over the living room floor before eating his breakfast and falling asleep on the sofa. The back door was open when he pissed everywhere.
I know he needs walking but he hasn’t had his last vaccinations yet. I am unable to walk far or do much due to having surgery and I’m afraid he’s going to hurt me. During the day he’s pretty chilled and relaxed. He’s 10 months old staffie x and has had no training due to the circumstances he was rescued from but is meant to be house trained.
Please help me calm him down in the evenings?
He’s a lovely dog when he’s being good but the evenings are killing me and he’s going to hurt me or one of the dd’s.
