Understanding Overexcitement in Puppies

Overexcitement in puppies, particularly in a 10-month-old boxer, can often be mistaken for reactivity. It stems from novelty and a lack of familiarity with various stimuli. To foster a confident and resilient pup, it is essential to expose them to a wide range of environments without overly stimulating them. Instead of relying solely on positive reinforcement through treats or play, owners should practice neutral socialization, ensuring that not every experience elicits a heightened response.
