My puppy is always so energetic and won't calm down, what are some tips for getting a puppy to calm down?
user
There are several tips that can help your puppy calm down. First, provide plenty of exercise – puppies typically require around 2-3 hours of active playtime per day. Be sure to include plenty of breaks for your puppy as well. You should also strive to establish a predictable routine each day so your pup knows what to expect. If needed, you can also use calming techniques such as gentle petting or rubbing her favorite toy to ease anxious energy and relax her muscles; lavender oil can also be soothing when applied in small amounts to the paw pads or rubbed into the back of the neck). Finally, when your pup is particularly agitated, removing yourself from the situation and taking some deep breaths can create a moment’s respite for both of you.
