When I first got sadie, sit and laydown were nearly impossible. She had too much energy. I've never met a dog short of a border collie with as much drive and energy as she had.
I'm pretty sure she has doggie ADHD or ADD sometimes
She's came a LONG way, and is alot calmer now, although there are still people that meet her and say "holy cow!" to her energy level.
There is the problem. Because she always has so much energy and she is always moving around its getting hard to keep weight on her. She was already pretty thin when I had first gotten her, and now she's just as thin but has increased her muscle mass considerably.
I'm interested if any of you know of some fattening add ins that can help dogs gain weight? Taste of the wild prairie formula is what she's getting now, with meats and steamed veggies added in, as well as things like yogurt, cottage cheese, canned pumpkin, baked fish, and drippings from meats that I've cooked without seasoning.
She's currently getting three cups of food a day or more, and has been tested for parasites. Even the vet thinks she would gain weight easier with a medication. I just hate to think of doping her up.
Here is one of her before pictures
And a more recent one.
