Puppy just went insane and I’ve no idea why!

He’s 9 weeks old, toy poodle (beginning to suspect I’ve actually been sold a miniature though!) and I’ve had him for 5 days.

He went wild tonight. Does this sound like he was really excited & trying to play, or was he stressed/annoyed?

The past few nights, bed time has gone really well. He has a crate in my room that he sleeps in, and he’s not really had much trouble settling down after his night time zoomies.

Tonight, after we’d played and he’s zoomed around a bit, he didn’t walk into his crate like he often does when he’s sleepy. So I picked him up on to my bed to start settling him and get ready to put him into his crate myself (sometimes if he’s gotten over tired a bit of time with me petting him soothes him enough to go into the crate happily).

As soon as he got on the bed he went insane. He was jumping and digging. Then running (I was terrified he’d fall, and he’s so fast when he wants to be!). Then he started wiggling his butt, glaring at me and barking while he jumped forward. He growled and lunged at me. No actual bites though.

Does that sound like a continuation of zoomies, and just overzealous play? Or was he mad at something? He’s never been that vocal before, first barks I’ve heard him do. He’s growled before, but only when wrestling his toy. This was the first time he’s been on my bed, I thought maybe he could just have been excited, but the barks were very insistent! With the way he was looking at me, it felt like he wanted to tell me something, but I couldn’t understand him.

I put him in his crate, he cried a bit and then settled. He’s sleeping now.
