Active dogs need plenty of physical exercise and mental stimulation to keep them on their best behavior. Physical exercise can help burn off excess energy, but training sessions help provide the mental stimulation your dog needs in order to achieve calm behavior. Take your dog for long walks, as daily exercise is essential for keeping active dogs healthy. Perform obedience training throughout the day, instead of performing one long training session a couple of times a week, try training your dog for five-minute intervals throughout the day. Provide some off-leash playtime, whether at a dog park or in a fenced yard, allow your dog to burn off excess energy with some unencumbered running. Reward good behavior, as positive reinforcement can help your dog calm down, teaching them impulse control. Make sure hyper dogs get enough exercise, sometimes the best thing for a hyperactive dog is to let them get their energy out through exercise. Consider these tips for calming down your dog, such as learning to read their body language, showing them some physical affection, putting on some classical music, and trying aromatherapy. Provide a calm, safe place, if your dog's anxiety is triggered by thunderstorms or loud noises like fireworks, it's essential that your dog feels safe when these triggers occur.
