It is likely he is going through a growth spurt. Especially since he is a large breed dog. He will have days like this probably until he reaches puberty around 6-8 months of age. No worries. As long as he is eating drinking and using the potty normally I wouldn't be too concerned about it. I wish your puppy well!
