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 somewhat surprised that no one has given you this answer yet, but it is the most effective one I know, from raising tens of dogs: Your dog needs more exercise; take her for a run or walk when she starts being stubborn. A well exercised dog is a compliant dog that learns and obeys.
She and the beagle get lots of outsider time on their tie outs and play with each other super hard like 3 times a day. I can’t really take them on walks in the park because they’ve been picking up parasites and I’m struggling to get that under control. I’m not comfortable taking them to places other dogs have been until their issues have been handled. My beagle also just got diagnosed with active Lyme disease, so we are dealing with that now. :/
