I'm just wondering what age snickers is. When I got my guy at 18months he was extremely active. By the age of approximately 21/2 he had calmed down considerably and developed a love affair with his bed!

FWIW, Both my dogs were rescues and my westie in particular had aggression issues. I attended an animal behavourist and one of the suggestions she made was to change their diet to one that had a low protein content((she suggested 'Burns '21% protein,) as domesticated dogs did not require a higher level and it could in fact make them hyper.

She was a vet who had completed a three year study of wolves and at that time was teaching animal behaviour at Edinburgh University.One difference I noticed almost immediately was that my basset no longer snored!!!!!!
I know there are many varied opinions on this subject, but as I paid £100 for the consultation I took her advice!!

Snickers is 1 week shy of 6 months. She had her spouts of psycho dog where she would be a real bitch (she's a female dog, but I mean the other ) early on, but I'm not 100% sure if that was the puppy in her or the food. She's had a love affair with soft things since day 1! She loves the sofa and my bed and I bought a plush bed for each room of the house so she can be my shadow (her #2 favorite things next to belly rubs).

She's been on Orijen for 3 weeks (first week was about 50%/50% Orijen and Iams. She definitely is not hyper as you can see by my original post. I don't think there has been as much controversy of dog food since people started discussing politics and religion.

I posted some info Orijen sent me here.
