Fox pup is now six months old. We?ve taught basic commands at play and I?m just trying to keep everything fun at this point, doing a couple of fun retrieves in the paddock but nothing too serious. My issue is that she?s wired, just so excited about everything she?s doing. She?s kept with her mum who is steady at home but can get over excited out working. I try to keep calm around her so she doesn?t pick up any energy from me, but she?s just a very busy, excited, happy puppy whenever she sees you - I?m not sure how to tackle it or whether I should just go with it? Her behaviour in everything is much more springer like than it is retriever, I can?t remember how my other bitch was as a pup so I?m just looking for tips on how to work with it as our fun morphs into more structured training over the course of the year? Gratuitous photo of them both! Image: http://i.imgur.com/RaGZOuL.jpg
