If your dog seems restless and restless, it could be a sign that they are not getting enough mental or physical activity during the day. This can lead to destructive behaviors, such as chewing on the couch or destroying other things. An understimulated dog may start to bark excessively to try to get attention or express frustration. If your dog shows less interest in playing than usual or seems apathetic, it may be a sign that they are not getting enough stimulation and that they are simply bored. Understimulated dogs can become irritable and angry more quickly. Chasing his own tail, although it may seem funny and cute when a dog chases its own tail, this can actually be a destructive behavior that is often caused by understimulation. Abnormal sleep pattern, if your dog starts to change his sleep patterns and shows signs of restlessness at night, it may be related to understimulation during the day. Concrete signs that your dog is understimulated include increased restlessness, excessive barking, little interest in play, increased irritability, chasing his own tail, and abnormal sleep pattern.
