Do y'all have any suggestions on how to stimulate an unruly puppy? - eviltoast

I have a very smart 4 month old goldendoodle who loves getting into everything. She has no interest in her toys or chews. I’m at my wits end. She won’t respond to any correction or redirection. I puppy proofed tf out of my house but she still finds shit to get into. Idek where she gets some of the stuff she finds.

I can’t give her super flavorful bones because my beagle tries to fight her over them. That’s the only thing that has held her attention recently, but my beagle is a dick when it comes to bones.

I brought home like a dozen new toys yesterday but she doesn’t want them. She also doesn’t really care for treats when training. She’d just rather be called a good girl and get head pats.

My beagle isn’t nearly as smart as her, so it didn’t take much to stimulate him. Now he just wants to nap all the time lol.

    I’m glad they haven’t used that feature. The beep feature is honestly not that bad in my opinion of used as a kind of command. Idk what word would work best. My mom used the beep function with her great Dane/german shepherd to get her attention when she wouldn’t recall. It’d get her to focus enough to listen to commands. My mom didn’t even have to use it for more than 3 months.
