High-Energy Dog? Here's How to Keep Them (and You) Sane
Is your dog full of non-stop energy while you’re just trying to make it through the day? You’re not alone. High-energy dogs are lovable, fun, and loyal—but keeping up with them can be exhausting without the right tools and routines.
Whether you’re dealing with a playful pup or a zoomie-prone adult dog, these 5 tips will help you channel their energy and make life more manageable (and cleaner) for both of you.
1. Daily Exercise Is a Must
A walk around the block won’t cut it for a high-energy dog. They need consistent, engaging activity to stay balanced and out of trouble.
Try rotating through these:
-
Morning walks or jogs
-
Fetch in the backyard or park
-
Agility-style obstacle games
-
Dog park social sessions
Before heading out, grab your leash, water, and PET N PET Poop Bags. Our bags are strong, easy to open, and designed to handle any mess with zero fuss—so you can enjoy the moment without worrying about clean-up.
2. Wipe Down Without the Hassle
When your dog is active, they’re going to get messy. But that doesn’t mean you need to do a full bath every time they roll in something questionable.
Keep things simple with PET N PET Dog Wipes – Cleaning & Deodorizing (400 Count). These thick, gentle wipes are great for cleaning paws, fur, and faces—perfect for daily touch-ups or after a muddy adventure.
They’re easy to toss in your bag or keep near the door for quick cleanups without the water, shampoo, and stress.
3. Channel Energy with Purposeful Training
High-energy dogs benefit from both physical and mental discipline. Training gives them a clear focus and helps you build trust and control through consistency.
Start with the basics:
-
Sit
-
Stay
-
Come
-
Leave it
Make training fun and rewarding. Keep your Treat Pouch nearby for quick rewards, and keep your poop bags handy when working outdoors—you’ll thank yourself later.
4. Don’t Skip Mental Stimulation
Dogs need more than exercise—they crave mental engagement. Keeping their brain busy helps burn off energy and reduce unwanted behaviors like chewing or barking.
Enrichment ideas to try:
-
Puzzle feeders
-
Hide-and-treat games
-
Obstacle courses in your living room
-
New commands or scent games
The goal? Tire them out mentally and physically for a more relaxed pup at the end of the day.
5. Stay Clean at Home, Too
A high-energy dog often means more potty breaks—especially with puppies or small breeds. Protect your floors and keep things sanitary with PET N PET Pee Pads (50-Count).
These ultra-absorbent pads are built for heavy use and quick cleanup. Use them during house training, for senior dogs, or just as a backup on busy days when you’re not home on time.
Final Thoughts
Having a high-energy dog can feel like a workout—but with the right tools and a bit of structure, it becomes a lifestyle you can love. Whether it's long walks, daily wipe-downs, or mess-free potty breaks, PET N PET has you covered.
