My puppy jumps, runs, and whines at home. Should I be worried?

Question

I have a 10 week old puppy ive had him for a little over two weeks now and the past two days hes started just jumping up randomly and running around the house while wining and will do it all day and night but if we leave and go to my grandmas house or soming he is perfecly fine he acts like he did two days ago like when I first got him so I just want to know if its something I should worry about since he only does it when we are home.

It sounds like Kingston may be getting a case of the "puppy zoomines" which can happen when a dog is very excited. They may whine, pin their ears back, and run around the house or in a circle very excitedly when doing so. If this behavior is emerging and he's otherwise acting healthy and normal, it could just be he is becoming more comfortable in your home (and why he doesn't do it elsewhere is because he isn't comfortable there yet). Spending some more time playing together to get out that excess energy, and signing up for a puppy kindergarten class together once he is old enough is a good start. As with any new puppy, it is always good to set up a new-puppy wellness exam with your vet to get him initially examined, a vaccination schedule started, and have him start off on the right paw.
