How to Calm a Hyperactive Dog Without Prescribed Medication
- 1). As simple as it sounds, start with the basics. Make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, a sensible diet and is clear about who is in charge. Pet owners need to be sure they show their leadership.

- 3). Use calming scents such as lavender. There are als products available such as Farnam Comfort Zone DAP for Dog diffuser. See resources for other products.
- 4). Massage can calm a dog. They will enjoy it as much as you do.
