This is my dog,
Sammy. He is a very loving Maltese that is also very hyper! I have read and
read every article I could possible find by searching on the internet to calm
down. The biggest factor in a hyper dog seems to be lack of
adequate exercise. Since I work Monday through Friday, allowing Sammy to
get exercise and interaction is a problem.
One thing that I
found to be useful in entertaining dogs and giving them some form of exercise
when left alone are toys that dispense or hide treats!
I recently bought a
rubber dog bone that holds two treats on either end of it. When I brought the
toy home and loaded it with treats (I chose peanut butter flavored because it
would be my favorite if I was a dog), Sammy entertained himself for a good hour
to two hours trying to figure out how to dislodge the treats from the dog bone.
So at least now, he will be able to entertain himself and exercise while
playing with the bone and trying to figure out how to get the peanut butter
treat held inside!
