Mental/Physical Activity The Best Treatment For Hyperactive Dogs

"Owners frequently complain of 'hyperactivity' and 'attention deficit disorder' in their dogs.  True hyperactivity or hyperkinesis is extremely rare; these dogs cannot settle down and posses elevated heart and respiratory rates at rest.  Most dogs thought to be 'hyperactive' are simply under-stimulated.  The best treatment is consistent, daily mental and physical activity to channel their behavior into more acceptable avenues."
