At this age, you might see bursts of puppy energy levels and continued boundary testing. They will probably still be playful, but now they’ve learned the ropes and are much better at following the rules. Congratulations, your dog has graduated from puppyhood, as your puppy nears age one, they’re beginning to look and act more mature. From 1 to 2 Years, they’re beginning to look and act more mature. Some puppies are more energetic than others, which can depend on the breed or the puppy’s individual personality. The answer is often as simple as making sure they get lots of exercise and activities to tire them out physically and mentally. That could mean games of fetch, enrichment games or long walks. Most importantly, use their energy and natural curiosity to train them and build a foundation for good behavior in the long term.

All dogs, by around 10 months of age are showing their true personality and energy levels which they will continue to display up until the point that their body (usually due to arthritis) slows them down. It does appear that as dogs age that they become calmer but in fact, your dogs energy level is set at a certain age and will not get less, what will happen though, is that your dog will learn when to be excited and when not to be. Depending upon how routine your life is, most dogs will have begun to work out certain patterns in your life by around three years of age and will have appeared to calm down. Dogs work on routine and as they get older, they realise that there is no point being excited at certain times during a day. Interestingly though, when you enter certain parts of your routine, your dog will display exactly the same level of excitement, if not more, than it did as a puppy. Most dogs that are bouncy, excitable and difficult to manage at any stage in their life will likely continue to be the same until their body slows them down unless you take a proactive approach.
