Why More Exercise Isn’t Helping Your Dog Settle

You did the long walk. You played fetch until your arm gave out. And somehow your dog is still pacing around the house like the day just started.

“Tire them out” sounds like good advice when your dog has endless energy, but more activity doesn’t always lead to a calmer dog. Sometimes the thing you’re doing to wear them out is actually winding them up even more, leaving you exhausted and your dog still unable to settle.

You'll hear:

Why doing more exercise and activity can leave your dog more wired instead of more tiredHow the type of activity you choose can change what happens after the game, walk, or play session endsWhat I had to change with Fitz when throwing the ball longer and doing more wasn’t getting us any closer to calm

Press play if you keep trying to tire your dog out and can’t figure out why they still won’t settle.
