Why are dogs so restless?

Answer 1

It depends, walking or running your dog will make them tired.

Dogs are restless when they lack exercise so please spend time with your pet; take him for a walk. It will benefit both of you and build a bond with the pet. If he seems to need more than a normal walk provides, consider adding canine saddlebags or backpacks weighted with water or food. They may also be restless if they lack adequate leadership. Dogs need a strong leader to feel confident. Require your dog have permission before he eats; make sure a human goes through all exits and entrances first; and lead your dog on his walks, don't let him lead.

Another reason could be the pet may have some health problems that make him restless so look for symptoms like infestation or even hunger; feed him well. Finally, dogs that aren't spayed or neutered and don't have a mate, may be restless due to the urge to mate. Either spay or neuter your dog, or provide a mate for him or her.
