"A tired dog is a good dog" - except when it isn't. Why endless fetch can backfire, and how teaching rest builds a genuinely calmer dog.
You've heard it a hundred times: just wear your dog out. So you run them, hike them, throw the ball forever - and somehow they're still wired at 9pm. What gives?
In this episode, Anna takes on the tired-dog myth. It turns out constant high-energy activity can keep your dog's stress chemistry stuck on "on," and the skill most of us forget to teach is the one that actually creates calm: how to rest.
In this episode:
- 🎾 Why "wear them out" is only half the story
- ⚡ How high-arousal play can keep stress hormones elevated for hours
- 🐕 Why a hyper dog isn't always a happy dog
- 👃 The sniffy walk that beats a frantic run for calming your dog
- 😴 Why real, protected rest is an underrated wellness tool
- 🧘 How to teach "settling" as an actual skill
A dog who can switch off is calmer everywhere: on walks, at home, and when you leave.
Five minutes. Deep breath.
