Paws and Effect

The iPad Dog: Overstimulation and Its Impact on Your Dog’s Behaviour

Listen Later

In this compelling episode of The Paws & Effect Podcast, Dr. Carra welcomes Ross McNamara, a renowned canine trainer, to tackle a surprising yet critical topic: the link between overstimulation and behavioural issues in dogs.


Just like overstimulated kids glued to iPads struggle with focus and balance, dogs that are constantly overexcited can face emotional and behavioural challenges.


Ross explores:

  • How to recognise signs of overstimulation in your dog.
  • Practical strategies to create a balance between activity and rest.
  • Why allowing your dog to experience downtime and even boredom is essential for their well-being.
  • Managing breed-specific behaviours, like the endless digging of terriers, with structured routines.


    • Packed with real-life examples and actionable advice, this episode is perfect for pet parents who want to nurture a calm, happy, and well-behaved dog.


    Listen now to discover how small changes in your dog’s routine can transform their behaviour and improve their quality of life. Don’t miss out—your dog deserves the best!
