Pearl is so restless during the day she has a lovely walk first thing in the morning and again in the afternoon 30Min's to an hour each time. She just wont settle down wanders and wines at me constantly to entertain her how can I get her to settle down she comes to work with me.So i need her to settle down chill out relax. We have a Kong various chews and toys everything a dog could want even the company of two other dogs. but still she wants my attention I have tried ignoring her but she just wines all suggestions gratefully received

Hi, I work from home so slightly different, but I know that if she is anywhere near me when I'm working she will want my attention, rather than going to sleep.  Molly gets walked by hubby in the morning before he goes to work so I start my work early, then 9:30-1:30 she sleeps in her crate downstairs in the kitchen (usually she whines for a wee around 11ish) rather than being upstairs with me in my office.  Then 1:30-3ish she has my undivided attention, before going back in her crate from 3-4, and then I usually give up work after that (I'm doing a PhD).

Is there anywhere you can put her so she can't see/hear you?

Oh yes, in relation to pudding's reply, just wanted to add that my Molly is only 6 months old...over time she will spend more time with me in the office and less time in her crate  :blink:

Max is 7 months and he is only just learning to settle on his bed on the same room as me. He is fine if I put in crate or utility room and leave him but if I am in the same room he potters about. I have been ignoring him and he has just started to take himself to his bed and lie down with a chew. I think it is probably an age thing and hope they will get better at it as they get older.
