My hyper dog won't tire out! What exercises can wear her out?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Female | spayed | 3 months and 29 days old | 54.3 lbs

Nova is so hyper, like there is no way to tire her out! 2 hour walk seems like nothing to her. I am unable to teach her fetch. Everytime I throw a ball she gives me a strange expression as if she is saying 'you threw, you pick it up' Is there any other exercise or games that can tire her out

It sounds like she is a typical puppy! And a very cute one at that! The walking and playing fetch is a good idea. Even if she doesn't really know fetch right now, keep trying as she may pick up on it eventually. You could try playing tug of war with her. Some dogs really like to chase flashlights, so you could try that. You could also recruit a responsible neighborhood kid to walk her at times when you aren't home or drop her off at doggy daycare. Once she is fully vaccinated, you could take her to the dog park and let her run around.
