Pekingese Forum:
My hyper Peke

I have a male Peke. He is 20 months old. I have raised him from 9wks. of age. He is house broke and behaves well untill we have company, or my college kids come home. He is not mean, very friendly! Too Friendly. He jumps all over people and I have disciplined and tried to get him to stop this.I originally bought him for my spouse, he is disabled and I wanted this peke to be his lap dog. Of course he is too hyper for him, he cannot handle him. He will not sit still in your lap and just lay there for campanionship and be still. I love this little guy, but no one else in my family does. I wish I could get him to just calm down for me.Any ideas?

Sounds like you have a wonderful little dog. You've done two wonderful things for him. You socialized him so he is not afraid of strangers and you've house trained him. If his only problem is that he is too friendly I'd say your pretty lucky. But I also know that can be frustrating. My English bulldog is also too friendly and he weighs in at 70 pounds! So what we have done is started to confine him when people come. We put him downstairs with the tv on. We put him down there before anyone gets in the house. You may want to try that with your Peke. Also take heart your Peke is still pretty young, it will slow down and calm down as it ages.
