Hi, a little intro b4 getting into the root of the problem...
Two years ago while I was abroad, my mixed breed japanese spitz who was 14 years old suddenly died. I was heartbroken and it wasn't until recently that I decided to get another dog. A family friend of ours was selling beagles and I bought one home. It's such a dear.
However, she turned out to be extremely hyperactive to the extent that it seems like I am not able to control her at all. She eats anything (even her poo and pee), runs around the house like mad, and keeps chewing things (2 pairs of slippers of our maids are already destroyed). Although I could tolerate her as she is extremely sweet and cute, my mother is getting really irritated of her as the puppy is fond of jumping and giving friendly bites. I'm also concerned that when she gets older, she might cause my 87 year old grandma to fall.
So guys I really need advice on how to control her and what to do. My family is urging me to trade her in for another dog which I am really reluctant to do so... but given the circumstances, I have already started to search around for other pups (esp. japanese spitz)....
so heeeeeeelp!
