7pm Crazies... how to take the battery out? Dante gets the 7pm crazies every night... right when I'm ready to relax after cleaning up after dinner. He taunts Riley (Kerry Blue Terrier, 2yo), pulling his beard, "fights" with his toys, zooms around the room, wants up on the couch so he can try to bite my fingers (or arms, or whatever's available), jumps down, barks at Shannon (older female Kerry Blue Terrier), repeat, repeat, repeat. I'm home with them all day, and I could deal with this better at 2pm than 7pm... is there any way to reset his clock? Or is there any way to take the battery out, just for an hour until he goes to sleep? I love them all incredibly... but my first puppy in 35 years is really testing my endurance! |
LOL, Maximo had the same clock for a long time. He finally grew out of it. I miss the zoomies and the cute little puppy tantrums that he would have because he didn't want the day to end. |
HAHA! Oh no! they grow out of the zoomies? that's my favorite! haha when Aislee does it I call it the "nut run" hehe. soooo cute! (Aislee is 14wks and she has a holy huge bout of hyperness around that same time ;)) |
That's when I give her something to chew on. Usually about 10:00; she's ready to settle down ~ she just doesn't know it! |
Ha Ha! Mine too! We call them the "reindeer" because all we hear are their little bells jingling. |

I would take him for a walk and tire him out- what a little stinker :) That usually does the trick for my Keoki :) |
Ruger had the zoomies, too. Since I live in a two-story place, it was up and down the stairs, up and down, up and down. :) He still like to go to the park and run really fast around the perimeter of the park, or around other dogs. Anyway, try giving him something to chew on that he really likes. Ruger loves cow ears, and one will keep him occupied for a long time. |
after bath zoomies r best |
Cooper gets crazy at 7pm every night too. I can play with him until 10pm and he doesn't ever seem to wear out. Quote:

OMG!! I thought Bentley and his brother, Baxter the Boxer, were the only ones who go into the playing routine every night! Just when you want to watch a program they start wrestling and wanting their toys to be thrown! Lol! |
LOL! Rocco not only had the zoomies, he would be the most obnoxious, fresh little trouble maker at night, after being an absolute angel all day (he would even pee on the floor right in front of me!!). We used to call him the "Vampire Puppy", because he would get so crazy once the sun went down! :p But rest assured, he grew out of it at about 5 months...now he just wants to play fetch incessantly until 10:00pm!! |

Jackson gets like this, too. LOL. Usually around 7-8pm. I don't know if they're crazies, more than boredom. I will be on the computer for example and he comes over and just starts whining. ha! That's when we usually do our trick training. He literally comes over and expects us to do training. So I bring out the clicker and/or treats and we do 15 mins of tricks! And after a bath, he still goes CRAZY! |
How old is Dante? Beau is 7 months and this happens EVERY single night at our house. It's usually fun unless you're trying to work or finish up chores. I hope he chills out a little as he gets older ::crosses fingers:: |

Sooo true!!! :p |
Zoomies!!!! LOL So cute, guess what???? I don't think they ever out grow it, my little guy is 3 yrs old and shows NO sign of slowing down. Morning noon or night time. Run, play, tease, chase, most of these are with me, then the quickie nap, bite to eat, the repeat, run, play, etc. No amount of walking, going in the car, or visitors, really changes the energy level. Only drugs, when he was sick with the really bad allergies (benedryl) and I stopped that as soon as I could. I think it's part of the "charm" of the dog, the energy. Also, personally I think Sprocket is teasing me, I swear he's laughing at me, although it comes out yip, yip, yip, showing his teeth. I know, I know crazy dog lady. But I'm sure! :rolleyes: In the evening, DH the dog's favorite "dog toy" plays with him with the little lazer light toy, the cat type, and Sprocket will chase it til he falls down tired, DH falls over laughing too. This is a winner, 2 for 1 in the amusements. LOL zoomies, enjoy, they are so much fun.:animal-pa |

Max is still tireless -- didn't mean to make it sound like he is a couch potato. He just doesn't get the zoomies like he did when he was a kid. ;) |
I so agree. Pixie is 2 years old and she is non stop from 7p to 10p. Ball, throw, catch, repeat. Or bunnie throw, catch, repeat. Then it will be tease the cat to see if she'll chase her. Princess the cat is 9 1/2 years old. But, no luck so back to the HUMANS and get them to play with me. This is every night. ZOOMIES. I like that name for the Yorkies. |
We call it 'Cracker Dog' at our house, as they have definitely 'cracked'. After baths, being put up on the bed midday, and when Mommie gets on the floor to exercise, can trigger it. The cat goes crackers in the morning, usually right before everyone wakes up. Sounds like an elephant running through the house. Then the nails screeching across the floor when he tries to stop. And the dull thud when he can't stop. Then up and running again! and again and again!:D |
Dante is just 4 months old, so obviously this is quite normal. And it would just be funny, except that the two older, bigger dogs could hurt him when they get excited by it - and just when I wanted to be "off" for a couple of hours before bed, I'm called on for greater vigilance! Like others, I haven't seen that a 4 mile walk, or 30 minutes of fetch in the yard, reduce this tendency at all. But Dante does seem to flip the off switch earlier - around 8:30pm - than others. If he kept it up until 10pm, I'd be bonkers! (Of course, we're usually up around 6am!) |
