Calm is a learned behavior.

When did nothing become so uncomfortable?

A dog lying quietly? We worry they’re bored.
A slow day? We feel guilty and fill it.
A calm moment? We fill it with action.

So the chews come out.
The games start.
And the constant stimulation begins.

It’s a fine balance here.
We absolutely need to provide opportunities for enrichment, exploration and mental stimulation.
Just not all the time.

Yes, we can “over provide .

Many reasons for this, sometimes it starts when they are very young and we are determined that all chewing will be on a toy or longer lasting chew, rather than our chair leg.
When they get bored with that, we provide another to entertain and distract.

From a very, very young age we may have begun to teach them a lesson they really don’t need to learn, that we will fill every small quiet moment with “something”.

Then slowly, without meaning to, we can create a dog that struggles with stillness and “nothing”.

Busy is now their normal.

Then:
They can’t switch off.
They pace.
They follow constantly.
They can be persistent with wanting interaction and attention.

And we think:
“They need even more stimulation.”

The loop goes around and around.
