I have the same experience at my house (bursts of energy) my cocker spaniel and
my cockerpoo have periods where they run like crazy chasing each other. My
cockerpoo ussually starts the running and waits until the spaniel decides to
join in. Like sh0624 my pups also do this at night - it ussually signals they
are going to settle down for the night.

Bella turned 8 weeks old yesterday...she seems to have these spurts of
energy and she will grab on to anything and growl and bite...how do we
let her know this is NOT okay?
Those spurts are perfectly normal, we have named them here the sundowner
routine as most seem to do this nightly, I have 4 poos and the oldest is 7 and
still each night she goes thru the routine, multiply it by 4 and we just stand
back and watch and giggle and lots of smile, you should hear them it sounds
like a stampede in my house at night. She is playing and this is how she would
play with her litter mates. It sounds a lot worse than it truly is.
Remember she is just a baby and her attention span right now is not much more
than 30 seconds if that, with lots of repetition of the no bite, ouch she will
get it. With lots of patience and love she will mature into your perfect pet.

We give dogs time we can spare, space we can spare and love we can spare.
And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made.
