- We've all seen (and probably laughed at) our dogs run sporadically around the house and yard. These energy bursts are called Frenetic Random Activity Periods (FRAPS) and are set off by multiple different triggers.

Why Dogs Get The Zoomies
My dog once hurt herself doing this. She started crying really loud and holding her paw up, not moving it, we thought it was broken at first but then she stopped crying and started zoomiing again wtf.
Maybe she stubbed a paw?
AHH MY PAW oh nevermind **ZOOM**
@@deltanogs4990 hahaha
It was a prank
She just wanted attwntion, but don't ignore it evrrytime
I don't know who looks at a dog doing the zoomies and thinks: "I have to make that stop."
Even Hitler won't do it
I know
Right!!!
Far too entertaining.
My dog bumps into a fuckton of shit-
“Remove all obstacles your pet could run into”... um, can’t remove my living room walls...
You could if you weren't a coward!
😂
@Morrigan oh no
Sledge hammer: not if i have anything to say... AND I DO!
@@LordZanas actually... The dog will take care of that
They don't look stressed to me. They look like they got overly joyful and happy and have to get it out of their system and want to express it
Truth Inspector it’s usually just to de-stress after a bath, like us stretching our legs on a roadtrip or listening to guilty pleasure music in traffic. Instead of keeping all that pent up energy in, it’s good to get it out in a positive way! My dog always runs out of the bathroom after a bath and wants to wag her tail and run all around the house wiping her wet body all over my furniture. I’m sure all the dogs in these videos were just excited 😊
Did you watch the whole video lol
I agree. The stress hypothesis may be correct sometimes but no reason to assume that that stress explains all zooming. I hate it when the "experts" talk as if what they say is proven and not just a theory.
@@treasuretrovel3816 I don't think any expert in this video said that all "zooming" is a consequence of stress. The only thing they mentioned, is that it MIGHT be because of some stress and it's release. Therefore you should not try and hold it back, and you should actively think about improving your home so that such stress-relief is enabled rather than discouraged.
These experts do in fact know what they are talking about, and they DO base their theories on proven hypotheses.
If anything, I will at the very least trust their learned opinion more than some random pseudo-intellectual anti-expertise guy on the internet that thinks experts are just people with an opinion and nothing more. That's how conservatives tend to think.
Duh. While they're doing the zoomies, of course they don't LOOK stressed. It's the 8-hours a day they spend alone at home, maybe cooped-up in a small confinement that builds-up stress. And just like us, their stress is often on the INSIDE, un-expressed, and difficult to recognize. And just like humans, after a long week (or weeks) of being in a suppressive environment (like a stuffy corporate office), sometimes we just want to completely let it all go, and party hard. But then again, sometimes it IS just pure joy and excitement.
I call that turbo mode.
"Super power" for me
Hyper for me
Haha I've always said Crazy Circles
We clap our hands cheering "running spurt!" until they're done.
I always say my dogs VTEC kicked in.
I remember my dog had his first zoomie... I thought he was special
He is special
He is SPECIAL!
He is special
He is *SPECIAL*
He is special
i wonder if this works for humans too . if i get the depresso all i gotta do is randomly burst into a run .
kiipie it actually dose!
You can also deal with the depressos by gardening
I think kids get the zoomies but we then condition them out of it. So we probably are supposed to naturally get the zoomies, but we've conditioned ourselves out if it... they DO say exercise helps with depression and stress... I often wonder what we have conditioned out of us that other animals have not... nature's remedy to stress and depression might well have been the zoomies.
Watch kittens or puppies, they constantly explore, run around, playfight, climb, etc... but our kids? Settle down, sit still and listen to teacher, don't touch this or that, pay attention, etc.... long hours in school when they squirm and such in their seats because, unlike other creatures, they cannot follow the natural inclination to explore and play.... And nowadays play is sitting down as well, either watching other's fantasy (TV/ Movies) or playing in other's fantasy) video games with limited script)... we all, adult and child, sit and watch/ explore fantasy realms on a screen.... which means even less exercise... As much as even I am caught up in this stuff, I have to wonder how much more we could do if we allowed ourselves and our children to be more active as animals are, rather than limiting ourselves so much. The more you sit the harder it is to be active and flexible, and so as we limit ourselves in play and things like running around randomly we might well be making ourselves worse, as we cut ourselves off from the natural movements and activities that our bodies need.... from childhood onward.
So maybe we shouldn't make so much fun and light of zoomies and should instead take part.... and that may be just the beginning to better health. We did not evolve to just sit still, and if we allow our children much more freedom in their natural activities rather than sitting still, we might end up with much more active adults in the future. But that would mean allowing for such, changing curriculum and such... even for business and work. I have a feeling many do not realize what we have lost, but we can see some of it in our pets and very young children who tend to do some things our pets do... they are closer to those instincts and have not learned the do's and dont's... such as sleeping in a laundry hamper (kids and pets will do), for instance.
Another example would be a person walking their dog.... their feet are killing them, but there is no bench or chair in sight... they lament to another human that there is nowhere to sit... as their dog sits right beside them.... SITS on the ground. We have washing machines that are very good at cleaning things, and one could carry a sitting mat for the outside.... we have taught ourselves NOT to sit on the ground, and yet in doing so we suffer as our pets are much more comfortable... we can use our knowledge to figure out ways to avoid germs and such AND sit on the ground.... Such as a mat.... it's just our social conditioning that is the problem. There are MANY places to sit, but we were taught not to sit on the ground.... so as one's feet hurt greatly their dog is not in such pain.
Just some things to consider. I think zoomies are a great start!
Same but I compulsively clean
Adrenaline
I wish it was that easy to fix.
"You'll never catch me crabs when I engage MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE"
Lexium LMBOOOO
This was great
The best part of the video was when I realized I wasn’t listening to the video and just watching the dogs zoom the entire time.
I tried to relieve stress by doing a zoomy in public, but I just got arrested
Whiterun Guard LOL
I didn't know running was illegal
I think we have identified a key problem in human society. We will now proceed to ignore it and do nothing about it.
Hey you, that running. It’s making people nervous.
@@weskerposting LMAO
I thought the title is "Why Dogs Gets The Zombies"
Same granny
Btw don't kill me
same me also
Granny same
OMG SAME I WAS LIKE WTF !?
same
omg 2:51!!! The slow stare... the tiny lick... then the wink before camera cuts away. awesomely cute!
This is argueably INSIDER's most important video.
For sure!
Def most important video!
Cute suit btw!!
@@lesbianchihuahua1624 Thank you!!
Post-bath is a high trigger for this. I just never thought it would be nicknamed Zoomies.
my dog (she’s passed away now) always had the zoomies after a bath, and in the morning. she was always excited to see us in the morning, so if we clapped our hands she’d zoom around the house.
My doge to runs like crazy around the house after a bath. He also does the same if he's really angry
Aww.. sorry ... sounded like a lovable friend... if we make it to heaven, they'll be waiting for us 🙂
Sorry for your loss, I had a lab that passed away, we would let loose around the yard and I would tell him to give a lap and he would go crazy around the whole yard and then come back to the door asking for another lap. Dogs are simply the best
My dane always does the zoomies after her bath. And she loves her bath time so I'm thinking it's not stress and she's always running outside with her rottie brother.
Funnily enough I just read something the other day about dogs getting the zoomies after a bath. Apparently it's not the bath that makes them excited, they're just happy that bath time is over lol
Dog: *runs around in excitement*
Humans: "this is clearly a symptom caused by severe depression. the dog has become aware of the futility of life itself, and engages in this behavior to rid it's self of the looming existential dread it harbors."
Lmaooo
Lol right?!
This is my conclusion! 🎯💯🤣🤣🤣
Why would you want to manage such a funny cute thing
ikr!
I had one dog who was in zoom mode roughly 50% of her waking hours. Other than feeling really bad that there wasn't anybody in the house who could zoom with her, I really enjoyed all her zooming! All my other dogs had a few brief bursts of zooming on a daily basis.
I miss all of their zooming and cuddling. Damn cut onions!
Fortnite Meme probably cause if she's permanently high on Ambien, this expert thinks her dog should be too
I wouldn’t want to manage it but whenever my pups do this I feel bad because I know it’s because they need exercise so maybe just make sure they get good exercise and play with them when they get the zoomies
Mental people giving a stupid name to running around. Dogs run. Get over it.
Fortnite Meme “why do you want to manage the lack of exercise dogs get”
0:33: “and how we can manage them”
*clicks off video*
NOPE !! I wanna laugh at my dog forever 😂
Exactly! I "manage" my dog's zoomies by standing still and laughing my head off. I may even be known to clap and shout encouraging words at times. Gotta love that look of pure crazy joy!
Perhaps your expert could benefit from a zoomie?
She sounds partially asleep.
😅😅
She did too many "zoomies" the night before
Should could benefit from putting some clothes on.
She sounds soothing and beautiful
I’m pretty sure she’s suffered some kind of facial nerve damage and partial paralysis. It’s happened to one of my friends and it can very unnerving to talk on camera.
2:50 Oh my lord... that made me laugh so hard😂😂😂😂😂 the face😂🤣 he was like: "why are you staring at me? Did something happen?"
2B a Waifu that wink
I can make my dog zoomin everytime. Well I was act as statue while my dog watch me then I sudden move one step then my dog would into very full zoomin mode ran around and around very fast 😂 doing this for years.
I do the same, or I'll pretend to stalk her like a predator before bursting into a run.
Oh man I love doing this 😂
Yeah. You can tell when they want to do a *NYOOM* I sometimes can stomp my foot and my dog goes full blast/hauls ass. 😂
Right? xD
They get this look in their eyes, you just know it's go time.
Yes!! I do this with dogs my whole life! It’s cute and fun
"Move any obstacles in the way" my dogs runs full speed into walls i assume i cant move them
ROCKETDOG! BURNIN UP THE YARD WITH THOSE ROCKETPAWS!!!
Who wants to "manage" the zoomies? Sit back and enjoy!
Omg that last pom.
I died of cuteness
LOL. When he/she stopped their eyed looked like
It looks like my sister's Pom, Alex.
When my dog was a puppy, he'd run like 8 laps in my backyard before he was like, "I'm ready to play with you now"
I have a Siberian husky and she normally gets the zoomies when she's excited to see somebody she hasn't seen in a long time! Its so funny and cute to watch!! 😊🐺💕
“Theuroputocal zoomies” this is my new favorite term
Manage them? I say enjoy them!
My dog gets the zoomies when she’s excited & is feeling playful.
Appears to me that they are simply really happy. Critter version of laughter. Why such a serious explanation of such obvious unadulterated joy?
when I last went home to my parent's house, my very old dog (17 years!) got the zoomies from seeing me again :') it was sweet
is he still alive
@@boringspace9182 Need original source reply. Not hearsay or wishful thinking...
You’re dog is very special for sure 😢
@@boringspace9182 sadly, but not unexpectedly, he is no longer with us.
I love it when my lab/border collie cross gets the zoomies! He is just so happy when he tears about like a rocket, a true exercise addict type.
Doggo doin a zoom
*Z O O M*
*NYOOM*
So they just do it for basically any reason at all. Very imformative
We have a kitten that does the same thing. Runs around, literally bouncing off the walls and then stops to use the furniture as a scratch post lol.
"Do not chase your dog while they're running." 😆
"Just provoke the zoom, like I do."
*Doggos are one helluva drug*
Just having fun. No need to analyze.
My dog gets the zoomies after a bath
Major zoomies turbo mode.
Your picture makes this comment feel sad
same
So in other words, you don't have a clue as to why they do it.
Man this makes me miss my little pomeranian so much. After a bath he would zoom all around the place. I come home from work and he zips around like a torpedo. I miss you little guy!
I love it when my dog gets zoomies. It is my favorite thing! I actually have kind of made it into a command. When I can tell she is getting excited I tell her, “Go Zoom!” And she will start running around like crazy 😂 Or I’ll spin her in a circle a couple times like a wind up toy and she’ll take off 😂
exact reason why I want dogs instead of kids.
kids also jump and run around lol
But dogs r forever q.
Edwin Contreras They erase that with medication and obedience training(school) along with their individuality, so no worries, just work all day and pretend they don't matter because schools will raise them.
Ana Carolina wOW yOu'Re sO cOoL.
Ana Carolina: Good, we do not need any more incompetent mothers out there.
My pitbull gets the zoomies every time she has a bowel movement. I guess that is stressful?? Lol
I always chase my dog when she gets this, me chasing her is the only reason she has the zoomies in the first place.
If I don’t chase her she’ll just lay down or stand and look at me.
Wait I never knew zoomies could be a negative thing :0 whenever my doggy gets zoomies it makes me smile and we always end up cuddling 💕💕💕
dumb question, she said, at 2:30, 'do not chase your dog while they're running' why? what would happen?
I don't know for sure, but I'm assuming that because they move so fast, they might make a full U-turn and clock you in the legs if you're in their way, or probably just end up running you over completely. Either way, I've experienced both with 3 German Shepherds :D
It gets them more excited and they could injure themselves. Dogs don't think clearly when they have zoomies.
ahh that makes sense :p , thanks guys!
I've noticed that if my dog is off the leash, and she has the zoomies, when I run after her she thinks I'm chasing her and playing. When really I want her to stay by me. I had to chase her down the street before lol
@@anon6111 if I just walked fast enough my dog will start to run with me soon over take me then increase it's speed as soon as I come closer to him. Then it becomes to difficult to catch an overexcited doge.
My dogs often will start randomly bolting from one room to another just back and forth non stop and it’s quite funny. I understand why it’s called the zoomies but ever since I was little, with any dog I had that did it, we would always call it a “spaz attack”
When my dog gets the zoomies, she looks like an oversized rabbit.
I’ve never gotten zoomies on camera. Everytime I go up to get my phone she stops running. The couple of friends who’ve seen zoomies couldn’t stop laughing. One day, I will finally get her zoomies on camera.
did you finally get it lol
@@rosieholdway570 Sadly no :/
Dog drifting!
Their joyous, unfettered, life-affirming exuberance -- Reason #5,999 to love dogs.
Alot of people forget that boredom is a form of stress as well alot of people dont give their animals enough attention or exercise it honestly sad 😞
I've always kinda wondered why assholes that keep them chained up in back yards year round even get a dog. That poor thing could have been in someone's home getting love and attention as a family pet rather than an animal kept on their property that these "people" are obligated to provide food and water to.
jess myzelf indeed. I’m real happy my dog doesn’t have them often
I adore their Zoomies!!! And yes! I agree they need exercise. My dogs always do this when I get home. It’s the most wild and fun greeting ever! Each one has their own little run, jump, scoot, and rub n rolls. Some even vocalize! I greet them and let them out to run. It’s hilarious 😆 and I wouldn’t ever change their routine! Then playtime commences... it’s precious! I have 4 dogs. 3 of which were rescues. They were severely abused. For the first year they were so observant and very shy. Didn’t know what to do with a ball, a bone or a single toy. They are my shadows. I adore each of them. I find that over time one by one they opened up. Showing their personalities. Each different.
We had lost our lab and it was a year later. We always had more that 2 dogs... and our 2 pups grieved our lab very hard. As we did also. After a year my husband says. I think it’s time we find another dog. I said, “don’t worry they will find us.” My husband chimes back, “they”...??? Yes they them the dog will find us.
3 months pass and every neighbor is outside trying to save 3 dogs. We had a cemetery that people would drop the dogs off. Sad place. The local dog catchers wouldn’t even help, they said, if it’s not a Pitt, they don’t intervene. Not even my neighbor the dog trainer could get them.
She told me it was impossible. I laughed. I said, “well I’ll set a timer, because, I’m a dog whisper... let’s see how long it takes me to get the white Eskimo on my porch. She said no way. I said, watch! So I iMessaged her.
Walked to my porch and set the timer. Locked on to her sight and willed her in. Took me 11 minutes and 7 seconds. My neighbors were all shocked!
Hahahahaha the next day we saved her brothers using the white Eskimo. The neighbors had been trying to save them for over a month. I finally learned of this and it took me less that 17 hours to have them in our home. As a gift everyone got together and bought food toys and one ever purchased specialty grooming for them. It was one of the most magical moments in our lives. Showed how caring souls are for those they don’t even know. Very endearing!!!
Took this pack about a year to show their fun open real selves. I’m humbled to the experience and grateful for my gifts. They have brought this family allot of love.
my 13 year old dog gets the zoomies EVERY DAY. she seriously has a mind of a 5 month old puppy
Haha what breed is she? 😍
@@nilajrt1815 She was a Bichon lmaooo
In my family, this is referred to as a “fit”, and has been called that for about 60 years. It can be induced by human activity, and is always condoned and supported.
Dogs are really cute😊😊
Yes, but cats better than Haha
Yeah

Snowfalling gets my dogs. If the snow gets deep enough, they’ll run and jump under it like rabbits...funny as hell.🤣🤣🤣🐶🐶
I just love to watch them when they get zoomies 😊😊😊
My doggo leaps over furniture like an agility champion lol
One of my dog gets the zoomies when she poops on a walk and she run as fast as she can go. My other one just had them all the time. She’s hilarious
my dog gets zoomies when he gets out the bath or when he comes back from walks / a family member gets home, just runs back and fourth it’s adorable
I thought the title said "Why the dogs get the zombies"
Humanity doesnt deserve dogs.
How can a creature like us be so lucky to have a companion like a dog?
Crazy world we live in.
I actually like the name, zoomies. Zoom zoom everywhere!
I think dog zoomies are the cutest and funniest thing ever, they seem so happy with that burst of energy
Wow ok,
I really thought this was just me and my dog thing. Like I really thought I taught my dog to do this.
*GREAT*
I love that term, the Zoomies, so appropriate! I wish I could feel like that! ☺
Haaaaaa now dat was cute, especially dat white pup at the end...!
I absolutely love it when a dog does this. I get the biggest kick out of it. Sheer genius
While I was watching this, I hear ALL FOUR IF MY DOGS RUNNING AROUND THE HOUSE LIKE THERE WAS NO STOPPING THE ENDLESS TIMES BEING THROWN AWAY! Oh wait...
Thanks for explaining the zoomies, I can finally sleep peacefully at night and move on with my life.

Reminds me of our Carmen. She used to spin around and then shoot off in a random direction, spin around again, and shoot off again! I loved it when she did that. We had her since she was a pup. 15 years. RIP Carmen. We miss you.
My dog is a great definition for this
My pug is the laziest and when she does this I'm so happy watch her being so playful... I love her zoomies mode so much 😁
When my choco lab does them we say hes going bonkers
I can’t help it, when my pup gets the zoomies I join in! Love it!

Zooming is the way dogs "release" the anxiety they get from being overexcited......tail chasing is just plain silliness...lol.

Sum ting wong big boy
Certainly doesn’t look like stress relief to me, and I’ve had a few dogs. It looks like they can’t control their excitement and that almost all the can do is run about. It’s one of the best things to witness!!
Our dogs are so happy, they get the zoomies whenever we come home or do a fun activity! Awesome video :)
I only ever experienced it when my dog was excited. Could be unbridled joy or happiness. Excitement in any case seems pretty plausible to me
Hopefully I can apply this to the two Dobermans my parents adopted while I’ve been away at college. They have been with them for about two weeks and are still acclimatizing to their new home. In other words they are very energetic, don’t always listen, and as such annoy my parents. Of course, this is all hear-say from them who are in their early sixties and the Dobermans are 3 and 4. I think a lot of it is that my parents are older and got too used to the overly chill disposition of our previous Dobermans which were older and more attuned to our lifestyle. On top of that, it’s just been the two of them to care for the dogs so far. Hopefully I will be able to work with the new dobes a little bit when I come home and either help them calm down some or take over the role of exercising them which I could greatly benefit from!
My dog only does this when I am going to take her on a walk and need to put her leash on. It makes it difficult to say the least
yessss mine does that as well he gets overly excited when i get the leash and when i’m about to feed him 😂
he’s just always happy 😊
One of the funniest things our older dog, franklin does is race at speeds that feel like a boulder coming down a hill. I sometimes jokingly say "Cannonball!" when that happens.
I always enjoy driving dogs crazy like this, especially friends dogs. One friend had a beagle who would run around, then howl, or whatever its called when a beagle does it, so loud and hilarious. Of course my friends don't enjoy it so much.
My 120 lb pupper has a good zoomie before every car ride. It ends with a flying leap into the back seat.
I've had dogs every day of my 63 years. Zoomies are your dog being happy. All that other garbage is just that.
Whenever i grab the leash and harness, my dog goes ballistic. Running back and forth. She even smiles and wags at mach 92 speed. Her name’s Pepper and we all love her. She just loves being loved and loves being a dog
My grandparents dog, whose a Husky mix and Huskies are notorious for having the zoomies, would(and still kind of does but she’s old now) get them anytime you played with her. You’d be doing fetch/tug-of-war on the porch only for her to dead stop and just sprint around the porch at Mach 7 for 3 or 4 laps and then she’d be back to playing. Funniest thing to watch every time, just had to make sure there wasn’t any kiddos playing in zoom-zone or she’d plow right through them and knock ‘em over by accident.
