jderden, sounds like you've kidnapped the dog we got, lol. Our is much better now. We run with our dog, 6-10km/day is average. On top of that we do general obedience classes 2x/week, formal obedience 1x/week, and I'm teaching him tracking. We also have puzzles for him and other toys that require thought. A super smart energetic dog is a lot of work :lol:
Find a good dog school and take your dog, harness his drives. You can do all sorts of fun things with your dog :grin: Look into different dog sports and find something that you and your dog enjoy. Up his exercise and challenge his mind.
The other thing that worked for my dog was teaching him that almost everything wasn't his. He has some toys that are his at all times but everything else is off limit. A good obedience school can teach you this, find one that DOES NOT teach 'leave it'.
