1 Tip - on life with your dog

Does your dog get the Zoomies? Is it a natural response to an anticipated good thing or transition, like when you arrive home, or they arrive at the park for a run around.

1 Idea - on the leading edge

Zoomies happen when arousal spikes faster than your dog can consciously regulate it, and their motor system essentially hits ‘go’ and takes over. Once that energy discharges, they self regulate and settle. The scientific term is a F.R.A.P or Frenetic Random Activity Period. It is completely normal and thought to be a sign of joy and excitement!
