| answered a question | Why is my dog so hyper? Give him some extra exercise! A nice long walk, hike, swim, or a jog will really help tire a dog out. Follow all of that with a nice play session of ball/frisbee in the yard and hopefully that will do the trick! If it isn't a nice day out then teach him new tricks. Mental stimulation is exhausting for dogs. Food puzzles also make them think! |
| answered a question | What can I give my dog to calm him down? Exercise is the best way to get any dog to settle down; especially when you have things to do around the house! A long walk, hike, jog, or swim is a great way to tire them out! Any mind stimulation is also something to help mentally exhaust a dog. Teach them new tricks, give them food puzzles, anything to make them think! If none of this helps and you think medicine is necessary then I would consult your veternarian to see what would be best. |
