⚡ Why More Exercise Doesn’t Calm a High Energy Dog⚡
Many people assume a busy dog needs more exercise 🏃🏃🏃
But often, the opposite is true.
High energy dogs are frequently overstimulated, overtired, and struggling to switch off. Adding more physical activity can push them further into chaos, not calm.
Signs of an overtired dog include:
🧩 Increased biting
🧩 Poor focus
🧩 Difficulty settling
🧩 Constant seeking of interaction
🧩 Destruction
🧩 Nuisance barking
Exercise is important, but it must be balanced with:
🧠 Mental stimulation
💤 Structured rest
⚖️ Learning how to be calm and settle
