Does your dog seem to always be in need of attention? Maybe he/she wants to constantly play fetch, jumps up on you, or nips at your heels. Whatever it might be, there is a reason for this behavior, a need waiting to be met. High-energy dogs are typically very intelligent dogs as well. Because of this, they need to be challenged both physically and mentally.
Once upon a time, dogs were highly prized as workers for families and communities. They pulled heavy loads, chased rodents out of fields, herded livestock, and so much more. In today’s world, there is less of a need for this and dogs are finding themselves without work. This turns into boredom and a lack of purpose, which can then lead to unwanted behaviors and what appears to be ‘excess’ energy . How to Help Your High-Energy Dog and Yourself 1.
