Normal puppy behavior. It takes a few years for most dogs to settle down
Boredom.
More exercise. And obedience training.
Puppies have a ton of energy so wear her out a little before training.
Also mind stimulating activity is always good also.
In the house,
Hide the ball is a good one.

Yes it is. I have a habit of wiring in old lamps to things like the stove fan, compressor, and ceiling fan so that I don't leave them on when I exit the shop for the night. This one was a floor lamp with a lava lamp in the stand...it was no longer a viable lamp, so I repurposed the lava bulb as a ceiling fan indicator mounted to a older wire-wheel hub cap. It was my daughters during her hippy phase...lol.

Sorry man, sometimes it's harder to see the pups go than some people.

Just remember all the good times you had hanging out with the pup. It’s been a year and a half for me. And sometimes I remember the difficult first year as he tested my patience more than once.

My condolences as well. It's never easy, but you have the right attitude. There are a LOT more dogs out there waiting for a great new owner.
Here is a Clyde update. Clyde is a year old now. in the past 10 months that we had him he has put a few pounds on. not sure what he weighs. first picture was when he was 8 weeks and 19 pounds. He is turning out to be a good dog. When he is a year and a half I hope to get him certified as a therapy dog so I can bring him to children's hospitals and nursing homes.

What beautiful beast! What type of Mastiff is he? How is he with smaller dogs/animals/children so far?
He is an English mastiff. He very good with small dogs and kids. He just doesn’t realize his size and strength yet. Here is a picture with a small dog

Here is a Clyde update.
Story for the wife if she didn't like dogs, “Lady at the shelter said he was a full grown Pug without the goofy eyes.”
Thanks all for the support, worse part is coming home, hearing something but it's nothing.
Started looking on line, might as well be adopting a kid, might be easier, LOL.
That's one hansom fella!Here is a Clyde update.

I volunteered a few hours a week at a shelter in high school. The project dog was an English mastiff. He wasn't good on leash (8-10 months, 95lbs and growing) and was kennel-defensive/aggressive so I spent several hours doing not much more than sitting still out side his kennel until he decided I was cool enough. Eventually I could leash him up get him outside without any anger from him. The full time staff were impressed, but not with anything I did, more that I DIDN'T give up or get intimidated. I've wanted one ever since, but its never been the right life-stage for us.
I've seen one of those defend his "master" (an 8 year old girl). Have been around the dog forever, never saw as much as a hint of aggresion from him. One day about 20 yrs ago, my niece was walking the dog (yes, he probably outweighed her by three of four times) when some idiots were obviously going to harass us (she walked just ahead of me, and the guys approached us from the front). Doggie, looking good and calm and all you want, knew immediately what was going to happen, and went to town with one of these guys when he tried to kick the girl. Didn't end up well for the guy. He returned to my niece, and "asked" her to take back his leash and to continue walking, again looking good and calm and all.
They'll be in my heart forever. Thank you Ichabod for taking care of such a great boy, and teaching him to take care for others.

How stupid could you be to **** with a young girl walking a Mastiff?

This is my friend's dog, Max, who I occasionally dog sit for. He's a good old boy and loves his beaver! [emoji2]

As stupid as the idiot that tried to mug my uncle's wife while she was out walking one of their very well trained, multiple blue ribbon winning Akitas while in Atlanta for a dog show.
So.... how much does that dog eat?!?Here is a Clyde update. Clyde is a year old now. in the past 10 months that we had him he has put a few pounds on. not sure what he weighs. first picture was when he was 8 weeks and 19 pounds. He is turning out to be a good dog. When he is a year and a half I hope to get him certified as a therapy dog so I can bring him to children's hospitals and nursing homes.
And how big are the piles afterwards!
Ha, beautiful dog though! I'm jealous

This is Raven, our 2(ish) year old pit rescue mix. She goes everywhere she (responsibly) can tag along and loves meeting new people. Usually, she helps in the garage by licking my face at inconvenient times and crawling under vehicles on jackstands.
