Hey all! new member here.
So we adopted Maddie almost 2 weeks ago and she is almost 10 weeks old now. We have been paper training her with a crate open since she cannot go outside yet (shots are not finished yet). Anyways she seems to do fine at night sleeping but when we take her out to play with her 2-3 times a day she goes HYPER. I'm not just talking "want to play" for 30 minutes but she will keep up the running around the house chewing on everything (including us) for hours. If it makes a difference we play with her downstairs and her crate is always upstairs in the bathroom. She doesn't have a "bed" downstairs when we play with her.
We have like 6 chew toys for her to play with but she always goes to chew our feet or clothes. Also she never seems to get tired regardless if we play with her for 2 hours non stop.
So my main questions are...
How long of a playtime do puppy mini dachshunds require?
How do you know when they are getting tired and ready for a nap?
How to stop them from chewing on your feet?
Thanks for the help! And below is a picture of her!
