Spring Fever Unleashed: How to Handle Your Energetic Dog This Season

By Rachel O.

Ah, spring—the season of blooming flowers, warmer days, and… a dog that suddenly has the energy of a rocket-powered squirrel. If your pup has been bouncing off the walls, zooming around the house, or staring at you with that “let’s do something fun right now” look, congratulations! You’re dealing with a case of Spring Fever.

After months of chilly weather and cozy naps, dogs are ready to stretch their legs and embrace the great outdoors. But if you’re not quite prepared for their newfound enthusiasm, here’s how to keep up:

1. Morning Zoomies? Try Extra Walks!
Longer days mean more time for fresh air. Add an extra walk or extend your usual route to help burn off that pent-up winter energy. Bonus points if you find a dog-friendly hiking trail!

2. Brain Games Are Your Best Friend
A mentally stimulated dog is a tired dog. Puzzle toys, treat-dispensing balls, or a quick game of “find the treat” around the house can help wear them out—without you having to run a marathon.

3. Spring Cleaning? Get Your Dog Involved!
Turn chores into a fun training session! Teach them to carry small items to a bin or reward them for staying calm while you work. They get mental exercise, and you get a cleaner house—win-win!

4. Social Butterfly Mode: Activated
Dog parks, playdates, and pet-friendly events are in full swing this time of year. Let your pup burn energy while making new furry friends!

Spring Fever doesn’t have to be exhausting—just find ways to channel that energy into fun activities. Want more seasonal pet tips, exclusive sweepstakes, and expert advice? Join the Military Pet Club today and make this spring the best one yet for you and your pup! 🌸🐶
