Hey guys,

Does anyone else's puppy go crazy after dark. For some reason Roxy goes berserk after about 7ish in the evening, and it last for about an hour or two. She becomes Jaws seriously, biting and nipping, nothing calms her down. We try to turn her energy into good things i.e clicker training and fetch games etc..until she gets bored and starts biting again. I know this can be quite normal for animals, as my cat used to have a mad turn when she was much younger, but Roxy is like a crazy person (puppy) after dark!! Once we can start walking her I'm sure it'll get better.. well I hope so !

Im sure pretty much everyone on here can relate to this! Laughing I call it 'zoomies'. My pooch goes nuts around the house, its like an energy burst..running in circles, diving on and off the sofa, jumping in his toy box, barking, up and down the stairs! If anything i make the most of it encouraging it so he sleeps through the night!

They're funny little fur balls!

I just cant wait Mia, she has all this energy and no way of releasing it as our house is pretty small. She gallops around like a pony, skidding around the corners.. It is funny to watch lol

Hi misty is 8 months now and has grown out of the mad hour at night. Good luck! I just used to put my legs up on the sofa out of the way until it ended!

Same with Harley! It started the past couple of nights in the evening he gets super giddy, starts running between all the corners of the room and attacking your feet and arms/diving on you. We've been leaving him to it for a bit to let him burn off some energy on his own and then getting involved with his toys!

Haha they are like children when they get over tired and just go hyper Big Grin

Bane used to do this a lot as if he just didn't know what to do with himself! A few occasions he would nip so bad we tried putting him in his bed for a few minutes to calm down expecting him to be jumping the gate Laughing only to return to him fast asleep!
