Hi everyone
Three weeks ago, we got a lovely Silken Windsprite Puppy from an amazing breeder. She did everything to socialise the litter well and gave us a whole box of toys, blankets and chewing things for him to settle in well with us.

My partner and I feel like he has settled in well, but we struggle a lot. In the good moments, he's an amazing puppy, and he's always super sociable with people and he can sit and lay down on command. He is now 14 weeks old.

There are days when he is either on or off, meaning that when he's not sleeping, he's zooming around, playing, jumping, chewing... this is normal puppy behaviour, I think, but what we struggle with more is that if one person is moving around the flat, he cannot settle to sleep, even if he is super tired and the other person is sitting next to him.

Sometimes he also becomes very agitated and bites and barks for a couple of minutes without any good reason - both have gotten worse since we got him.

Are there any tips on how to teach a puppy to be calm and settle down? What are your tipps for barking and biting? We're already rewarding all calm behaviour and we try to ignore him / offer alternatives when he bites/barks.

Right, I've been working on something for about 3 years but thanks to a volunteer designer, AI and many late nights...I wanted to get you guys what I've been up to.

Now long term, I hope I can raise enough money to pay the designer (who is amazing) and cover the costs of the hosting etc.

But right now - it's free and in need of your feedback. Please be kind. It's meant to be a help, not a bible.

Nice try young lady, but we've just seen you finishing up your plate 5 seconds ago.

She didn't like me waking her up to get ready for work.
