It's normal for puppies to have a lot of energy, especially at four months old. However, understanding typical puppy behavior can help ensure your puppy gets the right amount of exercise and stimulation.
- Puppies have high energy levels that are normal and healthy.
- Regular exercise and mental stimulation can help manage their energy.
- Consult a vet if you're concerned or notice unusual behaviors.
Your puppy's high energy is likely due to his age and natural development stage. Puppies are generally very playful and energetic, needing both physical exercise and mental activities to keep them well-balanced. Providing regular playtime, walks, and interactive toys can help channel his energy constructively. However, if you notice drastic changes in behavior or suspect something is off, it's always best to consult a veterinarian.
