Dogs suffering from hyperactivity issues can find it hard to pay attention to their owners, jumping, barking excessively, or engaging in destructive behavior caused by high energy levels. Implementing consistent training techniques with hyperactive dogs is one way of managing overexcitement; using dog training collars for hyperactivity may also help manage and direct activity levels and focus.
One of the primary factors contributing to hyperactivity in dogs is insufficient exercise. Young dogs especially need daily walks or runs in order to burn off extra energy, so adding regular walks, runs, or play sessions into your schedule will provide them with all of their daily needed physical activity and help control hyperactivity.
Anxiety can also contribute to hyperactivity. Anxious or fearful dogs need regular exposure to triggers that activate their anxiety in order to build confidence and decrease stress levels. Without appropriate training for dealing with their anxieties, anxious or fearful canines may resort to destructive behaviors like aggression and submissive urination that pose risks to both animals and people alike.
E-collars are an easy and safe way to manage your dog’s over-excitement. Utilizing low-level stimulation that lasts only fractions of a second, an e-collar allows for control without physical pain associated with choke chains or pinch collars. Many also include “jump” or “rise” features which let you ramp up stimulation from its regular setting gradually until your pup responds – perfect for positive reinforcement training!
