...we/I have a German Shorthair Pointer(about 1 Year Old) and this dog is SPAZZ/Psyco/bundle of NERVES, Any ideas on how to settle her down?
In a few years, the dog will be old and lazy. Wait. Be patient.
I find them boring. Same rhetoric with no “yes” or “no” answers. The new junior high style of name calling has forced me not to watch any of them.
Yes, we own a GSP and he was quite nutty in his younger days. He is 14 now and settled down quite a bit.
As others said, GSPs need lots of exercise. That is the best way to calm her down. Also, training is vital. They have to be taught to contain their exuberance. I don’t necessarily agree with all that the Dog Whisperer says about dogs and packs, etc., but he does have some good pointers (pun intended) on how to calm a dog down and make them better pets.
I love GSPs. They are so beautiful and graceful and don’t have a mean bone in their bodies. We recently had to put our beautiful, sweet black Lab to sleep and I still cry about it. I am dreading the time when our old gentleman GSP has to go.
