We are a few weeks down the line with Jenson now. He is 14 weeks now.
The POSITIVES:-
Toileting doing reasonably well, still have the odd accident but mostly my fault for not being vigilent enough.
Will sit, stand, lie down, watch on command when Im training (not so good when I dont have treats though!).
Loves all people, especially children, has been around kids of all ages now and not phased by them at all.
Loves all other dogs although a bit too boistrous with them.
Takes all new things and places in his stride, been to the beach, pubs, refuse centres, shops etc with no problems.
Is fine in the car lies down and goes to sleep.
The NEGATIVES:-
Worst is the hyper behaviour. We have a few periods of mad zoomies every day which I know are normal with a cs pup but he seems to take it to the extreme becoming very bitey and even a bit aggressive e.g. after a walk I have to isolate him in the kitchen during these times, as quite frankly I dont want him near my son when he is like this
Im hoping he grows out of this soon!
Chewing everything still even my skirting boards which are apparently far yummier than any of his toys or chews!
Chasing the cat, he loves her really and she tolerates him fine when he is calm but then he is off chasing her bowling her over and trying to nip her tail.. poor cat, he has had a few swipes now for it.
Pulling on the lead, I have now ordered a no pull harness to try with him as he is terrible on walks despite me doing alot of leash training with him (or trying to!)
Cloth ears, goes completely deaf when he has a scent or sees another dog/people, am really strugging with recall training with him, but keeping at it
Most nights is up every 2-3 hours... Im tired, really tired, but now and then he will go 6 hours which feels like heaven now lol.
Hmm negative list seems awfully long but truthfully he is a lovely dog, and great with kids which was a very important thing to me. I have sat down and cried a few times usually in the wee hours of the morning when Im just shattered, but its forgotten about the next day when I get puppy cuddles
