Puppy doesn't get it

My 4th month old bulldog does not know when enough it enough when it comes to other dogs.   He will bite, chase, play with them forever if we let him.  How do train him to understand that the other dog and him are tired and it's time to rest?

For example, we have friends who have a 6 month old puppy and they are staying with us right now.  Chef D just never gives up.  He is huffing and puffing and I know he is tried. I know the other dog is tired, but he just doesn't stop.  I have to physically removed him to calm him down.

Am I asking too much of a 4 month old to know?

Re: Puppy doesn't get it

  • Puppies will play until they physically pass out sometimes. Your pup may just have way more energy than the 6 month old. I wouldn't worry about it, but I would keep doing what you're doing. When the other dog has had enough, make sure your dog leaves him alone. If you have to separate them for a little even, so be it. But you want your pup to learn (which could be a looooong time from now) that when you say 'enough is enough', that play time is over.

    I have a two 3 yr old dogs... Our female will play ALL day. But our male gets tired after a while. So when he's ready to stop, we have to call the female away from him so he can go take a break.
