What you’re describing is a “zoomie” session—completely normal behavior for dogs! Zoomies usually happen when your dog has extra energy to burn. To minimize evening madness, try adding more physical and mental stimulation during the day. A long walk, fetch, or puzzle toys can help tire them out. If the zoomies happen at bedtime, create a calming routine before bed, like dimming lights or giving a gentle massage. Embrace the zoomies—they’re a sign your pup is happy and healthy. Just ensure the space is safe to prevent accidents during their energetic outburst.
