Hyperactivity in dogs can be described as a physical state in which the dog is abnormally and easily excitable or exuberant. Signs of hyperactivity include strong emotional reactions, impulsive behavior, inability to stay still (e.g. running around or climbing), excessive barking and sometimes a short span of attention.

Hyperactivity is not a common behavior and might be due to:

• The wrong diet for your dog, including poor nutrition such as artificial coloring and flavoring in his food
• Lack of exercise
• Physical abuse from humans or electric shock collars
• Self preservation and survival instincts

Young dogs have a lot of energy in need of release. Lack of exercise or being locked in confined areas without activity could increase the risk of having a hyperactive dog.
