How To Handle A High Energy Dog

April 30, 2022 by Alison Leave a Comment

When you own a very excitable dog breed such as a border collie, a lurcher or even a Yorkshire terrier, it can soon become totally overwhelming to fry and meet their needs each day. Coping with a high energy dog can be a very difficult experience if you do not have the right tools and skills to remain in control, but thankfully this guide contains everything that you need to know to handle an excitable pup in no time at all. So, if you’re interested in finding out more, then simply read on! 

Exercise Is Essential 

One of the most important aspects of a calming lifestyle that can help to reduce your excitable dogs energy levels is to ensure that you allow them to partake in regular exercise to burn off some excess steam. If your pup isn’t permitted to leave the confines of your home or backyard then they will no doubt begin to feel trapped and contained, and any bursts of energy that they may have will likely end up being internalised due to a lack of means to express themselves. Instead, choosing to take your dog out on a long walk for at least 1 hour every single day is the best way to encourage your excitable pup to chill out, as they will certainly return home feeling out of breath and ready for a long sleep! Exercise doesn’t have to just be walking, as it’s a good idea to let them run free in a local field or even allow them to explore a natural environment with different challenges and terrains off-lead such as accompanying you on a hike. Essentially, the more that you are able to take your dog out to exercise, the less excitable and energetic they will be! 

Feed Them A High Quality, Balanced Diet

Another key step that you must take the time to follow is to feed your dog a healthy, balanced diet that is made up of quality ingredients. Choosing the cheapest canned dog food from the grocery store is no doubt one of the worst decisions that you could ever consider making if you want to look after your pup, as they are generally packed with fillers and a range of unnatural additives which may be worsening your dog’s excitable behaviour. If a dog’s food has not been carefully formulated to maintain all of the necessary nutrient levels then they will soon begin to suffer as a result, so there’s no time like the present to offer up a balanced diet they can chow down on with glee. Focus on natural ingredients rather than chemical colors and flavors, and consider investing in calming dog treats that you can give to your pup throughout the day or whenever they seem to be feeling too excitable or energetic. 

Learning how to handle a high energy dog has never been so simple when you can take the time to utilize some of the brilliant tips and ideas detailed above!
