Does your dog seem to have two settings: GO and GO FASTER?
If relaxing feels suspicious, the doorbell starts a full-scale launch sequence, and “just tire him out” has somehow turned into your second job, Your Dog Has No Off Switch is for you.
This practical, reward-based guide explains why energetic dogs do not always need more exercise—and why calmness, focus, and recovery are skills that can actually be taught.
Inside the book, you will learn:
• How to tell true activity needs from overarousal, frustration, stress, fatigue, and learned habits
• How to use rewards, markers, clear cues, and manageable training steps
• How to stop unwanted behavior from getting endless practice before trying to “fix” it
• How to build a daily rhythm that balances movement, sniffing, play, enrichment, learning, and genuine rest
• How to teach check-ins, mat settling, pauses, recall, and loose-leash walking
• What to do about jumping, barking, mouthing, door excitement, and the famous evening chaos hour
• How to choose enrichment that satisfies your dog without accidentally creating an even fitter tornado
• How to recognize when training should give way to veterinary or qualified behavior support
From “More Exercise!” to “Maybe We Should Learn to Switch Off”
The goal is not to turn an energetic dog into a decorative sofa cushion. It is to help your dog enjoy activity, think around distractions, recover after excitement, and discover that doing absolutely nothing for a while is also a perfectly respectable life skill.
Less firefighting. More communication. And hopefully, fewer indoor zoomies during important phone calls.
