He keeps jumping all over the place and people, and he is way too powerful for the toy puppy so they have to be seperated. I have had to put him back out to the utility most nights because he is incontrollable, which I hate doing because he is on his own all night then. When everyone has and the toy pup has left the room I can bring him in then and let him explore and he eventually settles into his bed, but he's not really learning anything this way.
Three words: PLAY WITH HIM!
He is a baby, he NEEDS to interact in fun and active ways with you!! Too big for the other dog, just the right size for you to play with him. Playing is cheap, and can be done indoors or out, regardless of the weather.
Having a puppy is a full-time responsibility, and his needs should come first. Instead of hanging out in the living room with your friends, spend time with your pup.
Enjoy him, play with him, cherish every moment with him. Keeping him out all day is boring for a puppy that needs to engage his mind with interaction. Going for walks once in a while won't cut it. I've lived in a very wet climate, rubber boots, rain jacket, and an umbrella works wonders! The dogs don't care if it is raining.
They grow so fast, you will miss out on some of the most fun times with your pup if you don't make him a priority. Your pup is fine and normal and acting like a completely normal pup - being hyper in the house is not the problem - the problem is that he gets ignored too much, and does not get enough exercise and enough play time. The good news is that this is EASY to fix! All it takes is for you to make a few changes in your priorities and give him more time. Have fun with him, it will go a long way towards your bonding and becoming his special person, and your pup becoming your best friend!
