Hi all, I am feeling a little bit overwhelmed by my 8 months old Border collie kelpie mix. It just seems no matter what I do will never meet his energy level.
He got walk 30 mins in the morning and stay at home by himself for around 8 hours(I know he shouldn’t be leave alone for that long, I am sorry and I felt guilty), while his is alone I gave him bully sticks, frozen Kong’s and hiding some treat around the back yard.
After work I will play fetch with him for 1-1.5 hours then we will go for 1-1.5 hours walk, on the weekend I either bring him to the dog park or the beach when the weather is not too hot.
I play hide and seek, hide the treat around the house to make him sniff, roll up towels, Kong’s, puzzle games, tug of war.
Some people tell me once they reach to 1 years or 1.5 years old they will clam down a bit.
My question is, is that anything else I can do to tire him out?
I appreciate all the comments.
