[Dailydrool] How to get a basset to sleep and barking at treats

[Melanie Prisco]

Okay, it's been awhile since we've had a younger basset and I know they have
a lot of energy but Rockwell DOES NOT SLEEP. Maybe dozes off for a half hour
or so then he's up wanting to play, run around and go outside on walks. Its
not like he doesn't get exercise, we walk him 3 times a day, play with him
and even take him to daycare once a week. Still the boy does not tire. Even
at night he gets up around 2 am ready to go.

He also has this thing where he must bark at his treats (as if hes attacking
them) and throw them around for awhile before he eats them. He does also
bark at his food sometimes too before eating as well. Anyone else encounter
these things?

a basset)
