My puppy keeps zoomie-ing and biting everything in sight when he's overstimulated. Help!

[]

Answer

Puppy 'zoomies' and biting due to overstimulation are very common! This often happens when puppies are tired but resisting sleep, similar to overtired toddlers. Try to anticipate these bursts of energy and redirect them toward appropriate chew toys or short, structured play sessions before they escalate. Ensure your puppy is getting enough mental and physical exercise throughout the day, but also plenty of quiet downtime for rest. Consistent positive reinforcement training can also help teach impulse control. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
