We’ve all seen it – that sudden burst of frantic energy where your seemingly calm dog transforms into a furry pinball, bouncing off the walls and furniture in a whirlwind of playful chaos. This phenomenon, known as the “zoomies” or scientifically termed Frenetic Random Activity Periods , is a normal canine behaviour that can leave both dog and owner bewildered.If your dog hasn’t had enough physical exercise or mental stimulation, they might release this energy in a sudden burst of activity.
Establishing a regular schedule for walks, playtime, and meals can help your dog anticipate events and minimize zoomies triggered by excitement.While zoomies can be a bit overwhelming at times, they’re a natural part of dog behaviour and a sign of a happy and energetic canine. By understanding the triggers and implementing some management techniques, you can ensure zoomies are a fun and harmless experience for both you and your furry friend.
