I've got the most playful Dog on earth, what do i do?

You want to make your dog mean? That's a horrible idea and I sincerely hope you don't try to bring harm to the dog trying to do so. If you can't love the dog for who he is then maybe you should find him a new home.

Oh,my kids loves dog so much. We have 4 dogs at home and one female dog is preggy and will be giving birth soon and my kids don't want to give away the new puppies. You dog might be very playful because it is the nature of your dog. Labrador are the most playful dogs i've known. They always want to play and never get tired of playing and keep playing always. You should be thankful to have a playful dog my friend...just love your dog...and i am sure you will get used to it's playfulness.

First of all, you discipline your dog for allowing an unwelcome guest in? What about you, are you not able to tell this person they are not welcomed? That isn't right, dogs can be properly trained to be a watchdog, but it doesn't take abusing them. You'll need to find a good trainer for that, but sometimes you really don't need one. First of all, how old is this dog and what breed? Some breeds and very young dogs are playful, they are like children. Ever seen a baby not playful??? Next, this dog need your love and approval..Sure when the dog makes a mess or something, they need to know they did wrong, but it doesn't take a physical punishment to do that. A dog can sense your emotions easily. In fact my own two dogs can tell much better than my family when I am an emotional wreck over my schoolwork and I notice they are not only calmer, butt he one will actually come over and put her head in my lap, as if to say, "I'm sorry you feel bad" This said, if you are afraid someone will come in to harm you, I have a testimony on that. My first dog was a mutt, never barked or bit anyone the whole time I raised her from when I was about 9 or 10 years old. Then in my teens, this guy friend came over and he liked me and started wrestling with me in a playful manner..But my dog must have sensed something else, not only did she bark, but bit him. (didn't break the skin, but enough for the guy to stop) Needless to say he backed off and later on I found out he was a no good creep, so in a way, my dog, as gentle as she was, saved me..:)

First, how old is your dog? Second, I have a dog that will be three years old soon. From the time he was a puppy and even until now, he displayed similar characteristics that you say your dog has. But mine was diagnosed with an impaired central nervous system. However, it's not wise to self-diagnose a dog yourself. You need a vet to do that. Your dog could just have an energetic streak. How often do you walk her or let her run? For energetic breeds, it can take a two hour walk to calm them down. You should also work on training her basic commands if you haven't. I won't tell you to get rid of your dog, because that's not my place. However, I will suggest you think about the dog's future. A dog should never be made to be mean, and especially not trained to be mean. Your dog will protect you and your house when she is ready, when she senses something is wrong. But as her pack leader, you should also protect her. If you're really concerned about your dog's behavior, take her to the vet. They can set you up with an animal behaviorist.

OMG she reminds me of a dog I had got for my other so he could have a friend. We got the dog his name was Romeo and as soon as we brought him home he was just one big ball of energy. Kingston (our other dog) didn't even want to play with him because he was too playful. Even at night in the middle of the night he would be at the door waiting for someone to open it. So week passed an d he still acting crazy so we ended up giving him to my boyfriend's mother. He sems like he is less active nowadays.
