Training an Overly Excited Dog

Firstly, play with the dog to expend its energy. Generally, a dog's energy is limited, and after playing for a while, it will become tired and calm down. Secondly, hold the dog and comfort it by pressing its neck and stroking its back. After it feels comfortable, it will soon calm down. Thirdly, buy some toys for the dog to play with so that it can entertain itself when it's excited.

Why is my dog so excited?

The reasons for a dog's excessive excitement are:

1. The dog has eaten some foods that make it excited, such as chocolate or alcohol.
2. The dog sees its favorite person or its own kind. After being cooped up at home for a long time, it becomes excited when let out. Dogs express their emotions through excitement.
3. The dog's personality, for example, puppies of golden retrievers or Labradors are very naughty before they become adults. Even a small disturbance can make them excited.

In general, excessive excitement is not good for the dog because it consumes a lot of energy. Owners should find ways to calm down their dogs.

How to tell if a dog is excited?

Dogs show excitement in different ways. Generally, there are a few signs:

1. Circling around the owner: When a dog sees its owner happily, it may continuously circle around them.
2. jumping around and asking for hugs: Many dogs will stand on their hind legs and cling to their owners when they are happy.
3. Cuddling: Some dogs will constantly rub against their owner's legs or body when they are excited.

What to do when a dog is overly excited?

If a dog is too rowdy, it might be because it has too much energy. For example, huskies, Alaskan malamutes, and Samoyeds are often bred as working dogs, so they have abundant energy. Owners can take them for walks often to expend their energy. Otherwise, the dog may become rowdy and even destroy the house.
