Ever see that look or see your dog pounce and think 'Oh here we go again...' and the dog repeatadly runs around crazily like a mad man for a few minutes?
Yes?
This is the mad moment...
Basically a reaction of pent up energy; usually younger dogs will do this, but it has been know for older dogs to do also.
What you can do to help the Mad Moments:
#1 Make sure your dog is regularily walked
#2 Make sure they are mentally stimulated e.g. toys, chews

#5 As funny as these moments can be, do not encourage them as this will reinforce them and make the dog think it is ok to do
