How to Bring Your Dog’s Energy Down After Exercise

Sometimes when your dog’s energy gets revved up, it can be hard to stop. Some dogs seem incapable of stopping themselves from jumping repeatedly or racing around in circles. With that, you may need to help your pal to slow down.

After playing with your dog, you need to calm him down. It is recommended that you give him a treat and fresh water, hug him, or pet him. Let your actions tell them that it’s now time to relax.

Also, you can encourage your buddy to lay down as you hug him. Continue doing this until he looks calm and relaxed. Then praise your dog when he finally reaches a calm behavior. You can keep doing this until your furry buddy understands.
