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.

    Our boy was a total mutt who pretended to be really chill when we went to adopt him. He was chill for the first day and half at home too. But then he decided he’d fooled us enough and turned on his full crazy. He was completely untrainable for the first two years of his life, unless he was exhausted. So I’d go play catch with him using a ball launcher for an hour, then go home and work on stuff like sit and stay. He ended up being the most awesome dog ever once he got a little older. He pretty much understood plain English, and was very expressive and communicative. He was totally content with laying around and cuddling, but as soon as you said “let’s go”, it was like a switch, instant unlimited energy. He passed away a few months ago, but he lived a wonderful life, full of love and adventure.
