“My dog is jumping up, pulling at clothes and being naughty…” or are they just exhausted? 👀🐾
That “crazy”, bitey, zoomy behaviour?
It’s often not bad behaviour at all…
👉 It’s an overtired dog
Just like kids, when dogs are tired they don’t slow down…
they go wild.
Signs to watch for
• Bitey / grabbing clothes or the lead
• Zoomies that won’t switch off
• Ignoring cues they usually know
• Overreacting to everything
What helps
✔️ Calm, quiet space
✔️ Encourage rest (don’t add more stimulation)
✔️ Shorter walks / training sessions
✔️ Sniffing & enrichment over chaos
Sometimes the best training…
is just a nap 😴
