Do hyper dogs calm down with age?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

When a dog matures does factor into when the dog begins to calm down -- but dogs of many breeds don't calm down when they become adults. The Labrador retriever, for instance, is hyperactive for years; then he mellows considerably around age 6.


At what age do high energy dogs calm down?

Most dogs are going to start calming down at around six to nine months of age. By the time they've reached full maturity, which is between one and two years of age, all that excessive puppy energy should be a thing of the past!

Do dogs become less hyper with age?

It does appear that as dogs age that they become calmer but in fact, your dogs energy level is set at a certain age and will not get less, what will happen though, is that your dog will learn when to be excited and when not to be.

How do you mellow out a hyper dog?

Keeping your dog's mind stimulated can also help reduce excess energy. This is when playtime comes in. Things like playing fetch, having your dog search for a hidden treat, or running him through an obstacle course are all good ways to stimulate his mind and drain his energy.

Will a hyper dog ever calm down?

While appropriate mental stimulation is a positive thing for your canine, too much stimulation (hyper) can be equally negative on your dog's overall mental and physical health. Note: An energetic dog is not necessarily a hyper-stimulated dog. Over-stimulated dogs cannot effectively calm themselves down.
