Let’s talk about Doodle dog calming products and how they work to make your dog calm down. Everyone loves a Doodle for their positive outlook on life. This attitude sometimes comes off as being overly hyper. And, while every puppy goes through this stage, there are some things you can do to calm your dog down.
Agility Training Equipment
- This is the first of our Doodle dog calming products. If you have a hyperactive dog, the best way to combat this is through more physical exercise. The more hyper your dog seems to be, the more exercise he will need. We recommend this Pawhut 5 Piece Outdoor Agility Equipment Training Set. Your dog will love to play and learn how to maneuver the equipment. Also, it will burn a lot of excess energy. You will see a complete turn around in your dog’s behavior after using this set for a few days.
- Since things like ADHD don’t naturally occur in dogs, your dog likely has a lot of built-up energy. This energy can seem to explode at the most inopportune times. It can lead to damaged property, accidents, or even your dog running away. A great place to start calming down your Doodle is to give them the exercise their bodies crave.
Snuffle Mat
- The next of our Doodle dog calming products. Another way is a way to calm down a hyper dog is to give him something more mentally stimulating to do. The AWOOF Snuffle Mat is an excellent toy for engaging your dog. All you need to do is hide his favorite treats inside of the mat’s flaps, and let your dog go on a hunt for them. This mat is fun and can provide hours of stimulation for your dog. Since Doodles have a strong background in hunting, this toy works at calming your dog and satisfy his need for hunting.
- These mats are great for when you have a lot to do, and your dog needs some attention. It can keep them busy and out of the way long enough for you to get things done. Once they have found all of their treats, you will be ready to spend some quality time with them.
Chuckit! Ring Chaser
- One great way to bond with your Doodle and relieve some hyperactivity is to play with this Chuckit! Ring Chaser. Your dog will love the quality time and the ability to chase the ring for long distances. It is best to use this toy in an open field, as it can be tossed easily 100 feet away. It is one of the most durable toys that your dog will love for years to come.
- These toys are great at a park or even in the water. Your dog will love the feel of running with the breeze and being able to stretch his legs. This Chuckit! is just what the doctor ordered for “restless legs.”
Thundershirt
- While some dogs seem hyper because they need more activity, sometimes it can be related to stress. If you notice that your dog only becomes hyper during specific occasions, this might be the case for your dog. A great tool to calm down your dog could be a Thundershirt. These shirts are recommended by pet caretakers nationwide. They are like a big hug for your dog during stressful situations.
- To use a Thundershirt, all you need to do is put it on your Doodle during stressful situations. This shirt will calm him down, and you will not see any hyperactivity anymore. One word of caution, though, do not use this product all the time. Your dog does need breaks from using it to get the full effects of the jacket.
Calming Collar

This Adaptil Calming Spray for Dogs deals with situations like grooming, vet visits, or having company can sometimes be too much to handle with a bouncing dog. These Zesty Paws Calming Treats use the magic of hemp and natural herbs to soothe your pet. And since these treats are non-drowsy, you won’t have to worry about overdosing or drugging your pet.
- Give these treats to your dog an hour before an activity that excites him. You will notice that your dog will naturally start to relax. Everyone will see the change in behavior without missing out on the joys of your dog’s presence.

Travel Calming Spray
- If you need a calming spray to be used anywhere you and your puppy go, this Adaptil Travel Calming Spray works like a charm.

With the iCalmDog Portable Speaker, you can give your dog 5-hours of continuous calming music. These portable speakers are great to travel with or to use around the house. All of the songs included have proven calming effects on hyperactive or stressed dogs.

You can bring this same level of relaxation to your dog anywhere you go with the iCalmDog. It even comes with a USB charger and a carrying case.
Orijen Regional Red
- If you have tried all other calming methods out there to no avail, it may be time to evaluate diet. A kibble dog food that is high in carbs means that it is also high in sugar. When carbs break down, they eventually turn into sugar. This sugar can leave your dog feeling anxious and hyper with no way to burn the extra energy.
- Switching to a low carb food like Orijen Regional Red can help lower their sugar intake. This is a sure-fire way to calm your dog down. When changing diets, always remember to transition slowly to prevent an upset stomach. And you will want to give the new food a few weeks to take effect. Sugar does not process in dogs the way it does humans, so it stays in their system longer.
In Conclusion
This is a brief summer of Doodle dog calming products. The best way to calm a hyper dog is to give it more exercise. When you have exhausted all other efforts to calm down a puppy, you can then start exploring other efforts. It can be exhausting to have a hyper dog. But, know this, they are just excited about life and want you to be apart of it. It is a phase, and they will relax more in time.
