| Weeeell, he is super chill in the house, with me, with our family members, but when cousins and ILS come he becomes nuts. Otherwise very well behaved, sit in his spot almost 8 year old Golden. They think dogs are to be played with and have their hand in his face, pet him the whole time, give him scraps all day long, even though I asked them not to. They goad him non stop and he is a golden! That's what they were bread for anyway. At the end of the day, when they leave, he sighs and drags himself to his spot in my bedroom and then the next they when they come, he tries to hide there. Until little nephew drags him out, and a merry go round. |

Yep. Another lab owner here. He's almost 9 and it's like he's on springs. No sign of calming! |

| My apprx 11 year old shepherd mix had a marked slowdown a year or two ago. Prior to that she had a ton of energy but now she mostly sleeps and she's become a little addled. It's actually really nice because she had been a ball of anxiety. |

| Our german shepherd calmed down at about 3. She didn't need to feel the need to run like a crazy dog around the park anymore, but still enjoys a good chase with another dog at the dog park. She's 4 now. |

| Dog reflects owners. If you want your dog to be an eternal puppy you need to energize him and play goofy a little daily with him so he will maintain his goofy attitude knowing you like it and support it. People often punish a dog verbally for being goofy and energetic and then they wonder what happened to his' inner puppy. |
