Episode #2.36 - Why Your Dog Gets the Zoomies: When It’s Totally Fine


Listen Later

Your dog suddenly sprints around the house like a rocket, ears back, legs flying and tail wagging like crazy. What is going on?


In this fun and informative episode of Paws and Pawsitivity, I am Jamie Watkinson-Harvey, Certified Dog Trainer and Behaviour Consultant at Pawfect Training Academy. I unpack the truth behind “zoomies” (also known as FRAPs – Frenetic Random Activity Periods) and share how to keep your dog safe while letting them express pure joy.


From post-bath madness to bedtime races, discover when zoomies are normal and healthy, and when they might signal overstimulation or stress.


🐾 You will learn:

• Why dogs get the zoomies and what triggers them

• When zoomies are perfectly normal play behaviour

• How to recognise signs of stress or overexcitement

• Simple ways to make zoomie time safe and fun

• How enrichment and routine help balance your dog’s energy
