Are zoomies a sign of a happy dog, not always, no, sometimes they predict happiness and excitement, but they are also a response to stress. Often pretty funny to watch, zoomies are essentially a response to a period of high arousal, or a way to alleviate stress after a stressful situation. It’s where the dog has a huge build up of energy and then they finally get to release it. Zoomies are a good stress reliever, if your puppy suddenly starts having lots of zoomies and these are accompanied by biting or grabbing clothes, then it’s an idea to give them something else to do instead. Zoomies are generally harmless and a good way of relieving stress and releasing pent up energy, constant zoomies might be a cause of concern, so if your dog does them a lot, keep a diary and see if you can reduce their stress overall.
