    My dog is very hyper
    Every time I open my front door, he runs in and starts literally rushing around the table in circles, and barking at everyone. It was funny at first, but now he's hurting me and my family, and he does it everyday. Is there a natural way to calm him down?:confused: I've tried everything I know, but nothing works. Please help me, I don't want my family to get hurt by him anymore.

    Its normal for younger dogs to be extremely hyper... I would suggest doing a training program at a local pet store such as Petsmart or researching on how to do it yourself

    MY dog used to do this also when she was a puppy. What I did was when I came home from work instead of letting the dog in straight away, I would just play with her in the yard for about 15 minutes or so and then pet her and brush her. After about 20 minutes total, I would let her in the house and she would concentrate on eating and drinking instead of running about.

    I might also suggest taking her for a short walk prior to letting g her in, that way, she's ready to relax a bit and you have the advantage of holding her leash when enters the house.

    Cheers,
