Hi S.,
I sympathize. We have 2 small mix breed dogs and one of them is very high maintenance. When we first rescued her, she kept us up all night wanting to play. My husband and I finally put her in doggy daycare 3 times a week and that did a world of good. She was so worn out from playing with other dogs all day that she came home and slept all the next day. We also took her to a training session at PetsMart. We considered taking her to an obedience school (Man's Best Friend) but at the rate of $1,000 we chose PetsMart instead, which was only $60). If you are unable to do any doggie daycare or Petsmart classes, try taking her to a dog park to get rid of that extra engery. There is a great one in Plano near Spring Creek and Maumel. Good luck!
