Unruly dogs “My dog is crazy” – Calm your dog down – Pet tip 213
Dogs can get really rambunctious or unruly when they are at home and this is especially true of puppies and breeds with high exercise requirements. The second they see you or someone else that they want to play with, they may want to interact with you by jumping on you or running back and forth all over the house. It sure is cute when they are little baby-puppies and it sure gets annoying as they get older and the novelty wears off. Rambunctious dog behaviour can lead to broken lamps or dishes, uncontrollable running, loads of barking, jumping on you or the kids and general chaos that you will want to control.

Tracker was a great clown, loving to dance on his back legs, waving his front paws in front of him to greet everyone. At fifteen years old, he wound down his life, much to my everlasting sorrow. He loved to snuggle in bed with me, espcially getting way down under the covers. He adored being in his snuggle bed close to the wood stove on cold winter nights. He gave those endearing great sighs of contentment when stretching out in front of the warm fire. He didn't like other creatures invading "his" territory, alerting me to the presence of squirrels, cats, deer, skunks, and even once a stray emu, of all things. He had no fear of skunks, though the result on the two occasions he had close encounters should have cured him of his enduring interest in them.
Toys had to be VERY sturdy for him. His first toy when he was a pup was a squeaky plush toy little badger. I named him Boris. Poor Boris didn't last long. All further toys ecame Boris to Tracker. When I asked him where Boris is, he ran around the house until he found one of his toys, brought it to me, and got me to chase him all around.
Tracker, we all miss you terribly. You'll always be a cherished member of the family. We will see you again one day! Have fun until then.
