Now you are at a loss of how to deal with him and his hyper activity. Dealing with a dog that is hyper active can be a challenge, but is not impossible. Here are three things that I had to do to help with my hyper active dog.
The first thing that I did to help cope with my hyperactive dog was take him walking. Granted I would have to walk him quite a bit to get him wore out, but at the same time I was getting to walk as well. The problem was that he was so hyper that he would actually tug at the leash very hard. Now this was not bad when he was a puppy, but he did grow into a large dog because he is an English Mastiff which is normally not a hyper dog, but he was because he had playmates. So as he was growing I discovered I was getting drug behind him more often.
The second step that I had to do to help control my hyper active dog's behavior was I had to start obedience training with him. The obedience training taught me how to better control him with his hyper activity. The training actually helped calm him down to and helped with the socialization by him being around other dogs and people. Now the socialization helped tremendously calm his hyper activity when we went to the park because he was no longer afraid of strangers nor was he dragging me around to go meet new people he knew that we would get to them eventually.
The third thing that I found to help out was teaching him to exercise. Now most of the books advise not to over exercise them or play with them to much because it could lead to arthritis so I heeded that advice. I would only exercise him about ten to fifteen minutes per day and then I would only do this once or twice a week. If your yard is big enough and you are able to trust your dog well enough I would take stock in tennis balls because my dog loves chasing them around the yard. The exercise helps wear him out for the remainder of the day that we exercised on, but like I said before you cannot do that every day because of the possibility of arthritis development, check with your veterinarian first for this to make sure your dog can even stand exercise.
Dealing with a hyperactive dog is not difficult just a challenge at first. The first thing that you can try is walking to wear him out, then you might need to have him in obedience classes to help teach him more, and finally you can teach him to exercise with games or other venues that you have available. As always though before starting any exercise program or walking program you will need to check with your veterinarian to assure your dog is ready for that activity.
I live in Ohio with my wonderful husband and two beautiful children. I have two English Mastiff puppies, a Lab-Retriever, and a Yorkie Poo. I also have two cats who came to us as strays. I love sewing, crocheting, and managing to take care of my zoo at the house. Since I have so many pets I have a strong interest in animal issues. If you want to learn more about dogs visit Kims site.
