Odd puppy behaviour

doodlebopper · 11-07-2011, 09:40 PM

We just got our 'Coco' about 5 days ago. He came from a farm. He has a little older, 16 weeks. He has been very calm and easy so far. Almost too calm in the house. When we take him outside he runs and plays and loves it. When we're in the house he walks around and whines or just lays around. He's been to the vet and health is fine. Any other pup we've had has come out of it's shell by now. Coco almost seems like he has no personality. He is also very timid and shy.

Did Coco live in a house? Maybe he sees your house as a giant crate? Give him another week or so to get used to your house. His outside play sounds quite typical!!

We got our Georgia at just about 5 months old, and she does the same thing. She is a pistol outside, playing with her toys, frolicking with my husband and I. Soon as she comes in, she pretty much just settles. We are counting our blessings that she isn't a total nut in the house and keeps her rough housing pretty much outside. We also make sure that she has a chew toy indoors, so that she can entertain herself. She is really, really, really good at entertaining herself!

during my research on doodles..i learn d they re smart..and if they re not occupied with training..they re going to look for a job..

and when you find toilet paper strung out the door an into the living room or garbage dump d..or the cloth s removed from the drawers..to them its work..not something they did wrong..

Toby seem d to be the same way..too mellow to get his butt off the couch..what i mistook for mellowness..was merely a way for him to relax and think about what he was going to do to help me out when i turn d my back..
