YOUR DOG IS LIKELY
OVEREXCITED.

Your dog isn't "too much." They just have more energy than structure right now. This is incredibly common — especially in smart, social, and active dogs.

What This Means

Overexcited dogs struggle with impulse control and settling. They're not stressed in the same way as overwhelmed dogs — but their nervous system still lacks the balance needed to respond reliably.

  • Jumping on people — can't greet calmly
  • Pulling hard on leash toward everything interesting
  • Going from 0 to 100 fast around guests or other dogs
  • Difficult to redirect once arousal spikes

What Actually Helps

Overexcited dogs don't need to be worn out. More exercise alone won't fix it. They need clear structure and the ability to regulate — so their energy has somewhere productive to go.

  • Teach the ability to slow down and settle on cue
  • Set clear expectations with consistent follow-through
  • Channel energy into focused, intentional work
  • Practice calm behaviors in increasingly exciting environments

You don't need to train harder. You need the right approach.
