How to Calm a Hyperactive Dog

  There is little worse than a hyperactive, over-excitable dog, both for you and your pet. A hyperactive pet is very rarely a happy one, and its inability to calm down is often caused by stress or other negative psychological triggers. For you, a hyperactive dog can be noisy, boisterous and cause annoyance or even danger – for example if you are trying to walk you dog near a road or transport it in your car. As is clear, finding ways to eliminate this hyperactivity is therefore beneficial both for dog and owner. But what strategies can be employed?

  Hitting the beach with your dog is one of the ultimate ways to spend a summer day. But before dogs can frolic in the sand and swim in the sea, pet parents need to be prepared and pack accordingly for a canine-friendly beach trip. “Extended periods in the sun, extended periods in the outdoors on a warm day, or extended play in hot weather can lead to overheating and heat stroke—a serious and potentially fatal condition for dogs,” says Dr. Jerry Klein, a chief veterinary officer for the American Kennel Club (AKC). Everyday essentials like a leash and harness are always important, but to prevent heatstroke and other potential beach dangers, pet parents should bring the following items when they hit the coast with their canine companions.
