Hyper staffie puppy with new baby

[Nicola2182]

Hi all

Just wondering if anyone has any experience of having a very hyper/excitable dog with a newborn?

I'm 23 weeks pregnant and have a 6 month old staffie pup. She will be 10 months when baby is born.

The issue is at the minute she is completely uncontrollable around guests in the house. She is very very hyper and excitable (no matter how long we walk her for). I'm just worried how she is going to be around a new baby. She current jumps all over people, runs around having "zoomies" and is very stubborn/hard to train.

Have a search on line for canine enrichment, there are lots of games and ideas to wear dogs brains out and keep them occupied. There's also a group on Facebook, ideas to hide their food whilst you are busy with baby.

At 6 months he should be well on his way to being trained.... Start now and get that sorted or it will be more difficult later. Im working with an 9 week old puppy at the moment who is on lead and sit- pretty good so far and lots to do. You have missed a critical window on the training.
