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.

    How many kilometers (or else measured in time) do you walk together every day?

      We don’t currently go on walks due to parasites, but she and my beagle play outside for at least 2 hours a night and inside for at least another 2. She’s not getting mileage, but does laps around the house and the yard and wrestles with the beqgle

        She needs the mileage. Really truly needs it. Take her somewhere walking where there aren’t other dogs as soon as your vet clears it. If your vet has cleared it already your own worry is not worth depriving her of this

          My vet said that after her next dose of medicine, she should be good to go. She gets that in a few days. I’ll definitely take her somewhere nice to walk.
