To snap a dog out of zoomies, consider directing the behaviour outside or to a carpeted area if you think they will harm themselves in the house. Your dog’s posture will tell you if they are having fun or stressed. In most cases, they will be joyfully happy – in which case they will be showing loose, wiggly, bouncing body language, maybe interspersed with playbows when they may hold their tail high before tucking it in for the next zoom, and with a relaxed even floppy tongue. A stressed dog will be more tense and wide-eyed, and its tail will stay low and tucked even when stopping or pausing. In this case, it is best to try and calm them down and consider what has caused their stress. You will be able to predict when the zoomies are likely to strike and make sure your dog is somewhere you can both enjoy them without any fear of injury. Typically, dog zoomies won’t last very long and will be over almost as soon as they began, and your dog will plonk themselves down for a much-needed rest.
