just got a puppy. we think she's a greyhound mixed with something. but she's so hyper and not super trained yet. no matter how much I try I don't think I'm doing it right. any tips???

2025/4/19 Edited to

... Read moreBringing a new puppy into your home can be both exciting and challenging, especially when you're dealing with a hyperactive breed. Greyhound mixes can be particularly energetic, requiring owners to implement a consistent training regimen to keep them well-adjusted. To help your puppy become well-behaved, start with basic obedience training. Use positive reinforcement techniques such as treats, praise, and play to encourage good behavior. Schedule structured playtime to help expel excess energy, and consider incorporating walks and socialization with other dogs. Establishing a routine will also benefit your puppy. Regular feeding, bathroom breaks, and training sessions at similar times each day will create a sense of stability. Don't forget to work on impulse control to manage their excitement – rewarding calm behaviors can help teach them to settle down during hyper moments. Additionally, seeking professional help, like puppy training classes or a dog trainer, might provide you with the tools to train more effectively. Remember, patience and consistency are key to training a high-energy puppy into a well-mannered companion.
