Just wanted to say hello. I'm the owner of a 6.5month chocolate cocker, Bonnie. I knew she would be high energy but hadn't anticipated the lack of being able to settle. She still has to be popped in her crate if we are to get any downtime during the day. She did not sleep through till she was 5.5 months and that really was hard. We are working with a trainer but boy this feels like an uphill struggle at the moment. Its just as well she is so beautiful. Have to admit there are days I wonder if I've taken on more than I can handle but hoping that as she gets older and her walks can get longer it will all settle. Just need to sort the counter surfing, nipping when tired, barking and not settling to sleep outside the crate. Wish me luck. I'm sure I'll be asking for lots of advice
