| Sounds like she needs some structure in her life, a good Nothing In Life Is Free program from the many on the internet and regular 5 minutes 3 x daily obedience training to help her learn impulse control. I've had some very wild and nonstop dogs work thru their obsession with action and movement, OCD barking, etc., once they learned another way of life exists. First, as always, get her checked out by the vet and you might have her checked by a behaviorist to be sure she's not slightly brain-damaged but they can tell pretty quickly if she's got the ability to learn and be able to self-control. Still, even dogs with some damage can gain control when properly motivated.

| What the OP describes is not typical behavior. Pups are energetic and need lots of exercise but they should be able to wind down and nap as well. How does your dog sleep? Does she like to snuggle and cuddle with you? When and how often does she sleep? While lots of exercise is always necessary for a pup to be healthy and happy relaxation and sleep is also very important. You didn't mention how she interacts except as being constantly active. She must sleep at some time doesn't she? Do you feel she sleeps enough? Is she able to relax and just sit with you at times? |

| Have you thought of getting her a companion? Our Laddy is a very hyper little guy and was literally wearing me out until we got another. I agree that it isn't normal to be quite as active as yours is though. Will say a prayer you find a good solution.

| Have you tried running with your pup? It might be more stimulating than a slow paced walk. I do that when Kaji is getting on my nerves, and he goes right to sleep when we get back and I can go back to my laundry. I do agree with the others, a vet check might be needed.
