Why are young dogs often so restless?
It often takes one to two years for a dog to become well-adjusted. Young dogs are still figuring things out: sometimes they vastly overestimate their abilities, sometimes they’re unsure of themselves, and sometimes they’re just hyper. This is completely normal. Their bodies and minds are developing, their hormones are all over the place, and the world is full of exciting stimuli. It’s no wonder that many young dogs have a hard time winding down during this phase.
Can CBD Help Young Dogs?
CBD acts like a little body police force. It supports the body’s own endocannabinoid system, which maintains your dog’s internal balance. For hyperactive young dogs, this can help them calm down more easily—as a gentle aid, not as a substitute for training and patience. After all, a dog that isn’t constantly overexcited will respond much better to your training sessions together.

At what age is CBD suitable for young dogs?
Our products for young dogs are designed for dogs in their “rebellious phase”—that is, for four-legged friends who have already outgrown their puppyhood. In very young puppies, the endocannabinoid system is still developing. It’s best to proceed with caution here and wait a little while. We recommend CBD starting at 12 weeks of age. We explain what really matters for the youngestpuppies in our guide,“CBD for Puppies.”
