The reduction in a young dog’s high energy levels and boisterous behavior is a developmental process influenced by various factors. Understanding this process involves recognizing that heightened activity, frequent nipping, and excessive barking are typical characteristics of puppyhood.
The eventual lessening of these behaviors is significant for establishing a harmonious household. A calmer dog is often easier to train, socialize, and manage, leading to a stronger bond between the animal and its owner. Historically, societal expectations for canine companions have placed increasing emphasis on well-behaved animals, thus increasing the importance of this developmental stage.
