From your post in the Nutrition forum, it's obvious your girl is teething (just like a human toddler)...she needs to chew! So it's up to you to provide her with appropriate chew toys...Nylabones, marrow bones etc.

As for the energy level, she's a puppy!!! Bouncing and acting goofy is normal. She needs exercise and stimulation, as well as quiet times. Now might even be a good time to consider enrolling her in a puppy kindergarden class so she can begin to learn manners. But don't expect her to act like a sober and quite mature dog at all times till she's at least two. Seven dog years to one human year is not strictly accurate, but it will give you an idea of what you're dealing with now.

I suggest that you check out some of the books listed on this website to learn more about Rottie growth and development. Your local library should have copies, if you don't want to buy them.
