Any advice on how to prevent pup from bothering our old ladies when he is bored? He seems to go a little crazy puppy when he's overtired and he'll try to entice his ancient spinster Aunts into playing. When they ignore him, he'll escalate to nipping around their faces--at which point they haul their arthritic old bodies out of their dog beds and come to me or my husband for help.
I was hoping the they would discipline him as they have our foster pups in the past but they just seem too old--14 years. I'm thinking of getting an X-pen to block off the TV room so that they can have their peace.
Of course I re direct him. He's only 9 weeks old but is very independent and has a slight tendency towards social dominance. I really don't want him to get away with being a bully so I want to curb this behavior asap.
The pitbull and the cat have already informed that he has bad manners and he respects their spaces.
Thanks
