first time i heard the term, yesterday ; Over Stimulated.
wtf? i dropped my dog off at daycare. not cheap, but they work with the problem dogs. my wife got a "report card" yesterday. our dog was "over stimulated" and was picking on other dogs. i read that as, "being an A-hole and biting". they separated him to calm down and reintroduced him to a smaller group of older calm dogs. he got thru the day.
i took him back today. i called worried for a progress report. same thing today..milder. they took him out, and calmed him. then they are now walking him around with the older dogs..giving him orders..sit, stay, etc..he is okay now that he has a job.
he has been great up till now. what changed? i think i messed up. we walk him twice a day. on leash. but i think i made a mistake. i walk him to a park and throw a frisbee. he knows this and is so amped up all the way there..ears back, kinda pulling on the leash.
i think i just need to walk for walking sake..right? no frisbee destination. i am gonna fill his pack up with water bottles and just walk..brisk..no destination, i'm the boss.
seriously..wtf does over stimulation mean? the short days makes it hard..i was trying to optimize dog time by mixing leash time with frisbee time. big mistake?
i swear..i am going to buy my next dog from a reputable breeder. screw this adopted dog wildcard BS.
