How to Calm a High-Energy Dog

Calm

High-energy dogs can be a handful, but there are ways to help them calm down.

Exercise

 Exercise is one of the best ways to tire out a high-energy dog. Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise per day.

Stimulation

Mental stimulation is also important for high-energy dogs. Puzzle toys and games can help keep them occupied.

Routine

Creating a routine can help your dog know what to expect, which can reduce anxiety and restlessness.

Provide 

High-energy dogs need plenty of rest. Make sure they have a comfortable place to sleep and plenty of quiet time.

Avoid

Too much stimulation can make a high-energy dog even more hyper. Avoid taking them to crowded places or exposing them to loud noises.

Be Patient 

 It takes time and patience to calm a high-energy dog. Be consistent with your training and routine, and eventually your dog will learn how to relax.
