Tremendously anyone who spent enough Time with lots of dogs knows that Sometimes the Labrador can be Overflowing with energy but another Labrador could just as easily be very Mellow or even fearful to a dog’s energy Level not their breed is a far more Reliable indicator for the training Approach you should adopt with that Individual dog let’s go over the three Categories of energy levels and what They mean these are heavy you do know You have muscles in your legs right you Can actually use level 1 level 1 dogs Are laid-back lower energy dogs they’ll Be happy to just take a short walk with You each day and they’ll basically just Chill out for the rest of the day They’re great if you’re a busy person Who wants to calm low-key companion but Don’t expect a level 1 dog to play Vigorously for long periods of time or To play really at all for that matter Most level 1 dogs aren’t going to be Very motivated to learn particularly Advanced or athletic tasks this doesn’t Mean they’re less intelligent though Just more relaxed level 1 dogs tend to Naturally be pretty well-behaved and Polite too you’re rolling over too much Look at you your leash is all wrapped Around you now let’s talk about level 2 Dogs they tend to be a little bit more Well-rounded as it relates to energy and

Tend to have a little bit more mental And physical stamina a level 2 dog is a Dog that tends to be really hyper when You get home from work but then tends to Calm down after a few minutes without Much encouragement from you what he Loves this woman man level 2 dogs can Have substantial bursts of energy and Generally require fairly significant Exercise to realize their true potential In general level 2 dogs are great for a Less experienced person who still wants To have a hands-on role in teaching Their dog and these sounds are great for People who want to involve their dogs With their daily life and adventures but Not have exercising their dog completely Take over their life level 2 dogs can Learn a variety of advanced tasks They’re not really likely to excel at Extremely athletic endeavors but if You’re looking for a hiking buddy or Even a service dog a level 2 dog might Be perfect for you but if you’re looking For a champion agility dog you might Need to alter a little bit Now let’s talk about those super High-energy dogs you know the ones that Can play all day and all night The ones who jump like crazy or Constantly bring you toys to play fetch Or tug with the ones whose tails are Almost always wagging at 100 miles an Hour they’re basically like this if you

Don’t exercise them every waking hour These are the level three dogs and let Me let you in on a big secret the more Energy a dog has the more teachable they Are but they are not for the casual pet Parent you really have to dedicate a lot Of time to making sure they get plenty Of mental and physical exercise if you Don’t all that pent up energy can and Almost certainly will lead to excessive Hyperactivity and destructive behaviors These dogs virtually always require very Significant exercise before each Training lesson it seems they can’t Really focus until they release that Excess energy so of course you’re going To have to commit to teaching most of These dogs something like fetch so that You can easily and efficiently get their Energy out on your turn if you’ve got a Life outside of your dog you really want To think long and hard before getting a Level-3 dog They’re not going to let you forget About it level 3 dogs are almost never Satisfied with walks unless they’re very Long walks say three to five miles they Never really seem to get tired from Normal daily activities either you know Like short walks and playing with other Dogs these guys will engage you for as Long as you’re willing as long as you’re Keeping training fun of course level Three dogs are the most misunderstood of

All dogs and yeah it’s true that they’re Generally the highest maintenance of all Dogs do but these guys can learn Virtually anything I mean they’ll do Truly awesome stuff whether it’s leaping Off a dog doing walking handstands or Even riding a bike these dogs are made To work at peak performance and you know They’re not going to do really well if They don’t get that opportunity now I’m Making a lot of generalizations here and There are no doubt exceptions out there And quite honestly your dog could be Somewhere in between maybe your dog is a Level 1.5 for example it really is a Spectrum understanding your dog’s energy Level is the best way to understand how Much time and effort they’re going to Require from you for example now that I’ve spent some time with juice and I Feel like I’ve seen a good Representation of his overall energy I’d Say that he’s probably a level 2.2 dog a Dog will maintain his energy level for a Good portion of his life yes What a good liar downer you are dogs That have a lot of energy don’t just Settle down after a couple of years like A lot of people think tell me in the Comments below what energy level would You say your dog is go get your free Bark box when you sign up for a 6 or 12 Month subscription at bark box comm Flash dog training click thumbs up for
