Key Takeaways
Overexcitement in dogs can manifest in various behavioral signs, including incessant barking, hyperactive jumping, pacing, and the inability to remain still. This behavior often arises from underlying issues related to the dog&#39;s perception of its role as the pack leader, a lack of physical and mental stimulation, and overstimulating environments.
