Hyper Tipsy

[kev122573]

Tipsy drove me nuts, she wanted to play all day. I thought taking her for a long walk would tire her out but nooooo... Maybe 2x20 min sessions of fetch but noooo...more walking but noooo!!! No wonder she is small at 20 months! LOL... Anyone else with a hyper bully? Oh and here is a pic of her in my office the other day...grumpy face...lol!

Wau, such a lovely mask. Only tip that I've got is that maybe you have to challenge her more mentally, that tires them down more than physical activity. All activity involving some nose job is also good.

Wow, Tipsy takes a good picture! My bulldogs are about mediuim energy unless they see a stray cat then it's hyperspeed!!!!!Once they expend that energy running to the end of the yard (cat of course up and over the wall by then)...they are down to "slow." But I do have a French Bulldog/Boston Terrier mix who never runs out of batteries.

Tank has quite a lot of energy for a bulldog. When he's in the house he's usually on the move walking around checking on everybody and begging for treats. When he's outdoors he chases after my boyfriend's malamute/husky mix....he's pretty good, he can really keep up!

Frank has a ton of energy. Sometimes I go on short jogs with him. He gets at least one daily wrestling session with the hubby, gets several sessions of "catch", will run laps around our yard when he gets excited, and gets time with his Wobble Kong treat dispenser. And we have a couple of balls he chases around.

Schultz is high energy ...but what I've noticed is that when he's been on his walks and played and is still not able to come into stillness...he needs a little help getting there. Try taking a few moments to stop and rest yourself, we do the doggy massage (just a few minutes where I give him a gentle rub down from head to toes). It seems to flip a switch in his head, he goes from punchy to mellow.

Gio is very hyper! We have a small woods in my town that is called "the dog park." At any given time threw out the day we will see an average of 10 other dogs. I bring Gio up there at least once a day, most days twice. Its so nice because the dogs can run around unleashed and play with each other. Gio can actually keep up with some of the other dogs, but I have noticed that he will actually take short cuts to catch the faster the dogs! People laugh when they see him sprinting after all the dogs who clearly are more athletic! But still after all that he still comes home at night and wants to play for hours! But at least he sleeps till 11 everyday!

Sounds like Tipsy needs a kid or another dog to wear her out! She is beautiful!

Thank you all. I am thinking of getting her a baby bro when she turns 2 in May. I can't wait!!!

Spunky is high energy too, regardless she's 10 weeks but she's CRAZY!!!! She is always running around the house chewing, she seems to calm down when we challenge her to training with treats, and ignore her haha. She's such a good dog, just doesn't slow down.

My girl Banks was like this until about 3.... she is still more active than a normal bully and she is 6. We just got a 10 month old French Bulldog and he is kicking her butt (hee hee hee) finally a dog she can not keep up with! Maybe that is your answer... get her a baby brother
