I have an 11-year-old Lab and I think he's bored, because all he does is sleep. But he does have an overactive thyroid problem, so that may be tiring him out. I try to give a short walk every day, but sometimes I just don't have time. He knows how to sit, lay down, shake, jump, and bow, and I've trained all those with Clicker Training. Could my dog be bored if all he does is just lay around and sleep? This is interesting… I have an 11-year-old Lab and I think he’s bored, because all he does is sleep.

He must just be bored because he wants to play. He digs, destroys, and howls. How do I stop it?

]]> Comment on Your Dogs Sleeping Habits by Alexandra http://www.dog-owner.net/your-dogs-sleeping-habits.html/comment-page-1#comment-2 Alexandra Mon, 29 Jun 2009 18:40:53 +0000 http://www.dog-owner.net/?p=179#comment-2 Nice article, although I don't agree with the part about making your newly arrived pup sleep on his own. My experience with puppys is that they are much less stressed if you let them sleep next to your bed in a crate the first week. This has several advantages: No whining pup in the middle of the night because he missed his mum, stressing you, the pup and maybe the neighbours out. And then being shouted at to be quiet, what sort of gives him want he wants, namely a response to his call. Also you can hear the pup getting restless if he needs to go to the bathroom, so he won't make a mess of his crate. After a week the pup is accustomed the whole house, his new life, the new routine and he will have no trouble with sleeping away from the owner at night.
