We have a senior Jack and she doesn’t really get the zoomies anymore, but when she get excited, gets the jumps, or is enjoying a good bark at the window, we know she is having a good day!

I had a Jack for 11-odd years, and watching this video was borderline uncanny. Ned used to do exactly this, running through the lounge from one door, out the other, run screaming through the kitchen, back into the lounge, behind the couch. If you sat in the right place, he'd use you as a waypoint, and the feeling was rather like being surrounded by a biker gang, except that biker gang is a tiny dog who is very excited.

They are called “the zoomies” {or the technical name is Frenetic Random Activity Periods [FRAPs]} and there are many breeds that get them, especially if not properly exercised or mentally stimulated enough. And, I’m not saying you don’t properly exercise or stimulate your dog, not saying anyone is a bad dog parent. That’s just one reason dogs get the zoomies, there are several. They are caused by a build up of energy {can also be nervous energy} that they have to express. i.e. being let out of a crate, after a bath, before bed or after eating. And, of course, the most evil reason {according to the furries anyway} they get those zoomies is the one all pet parents have borne witness to, after that damn Vet. appt. 🙃 Plus, the younger they are, the more likely they are to zoom around quite often. They usually, not always, but most usually grow out of them as they get older. Not my Red Heeler though, LOL! I have a six year old Australian Cattle Dog & she’s nuts like Henry here or Jack Russells, in general. Which, BTW, I absolutely adore both breeds. I have always wanted a Jack Russell Terrier, timing was just never right, I guess?!?! When my Vixen gets her zoomies though, she runs around in circles, at a dizzying speed & chases her own tail. It’s so funny & entertaining, she’s a great dog. Walking her an extra 30-60 minutes a day, letting her set the pace & sniff to her hearts content, stimulates her enough mentally to keep the zoomies away. I have also come to discover, I love this breed, they are very intelligent & extremely loyal. They are loving & sweet to all people around them daily, but they usually forge a close bond with one human they live with, they claim their human. And, you will find them glued to said persons side or at their feet 90% of the day. I tell my daughters all the time “We should have named our dog Velcro Vixen.” But, I wouldn’t have her any other way, she’s a special girl 🩷 She survived Hurricane Harvey by herself, at 6 months old under a bridge overpass.

I laugh when mine does this 😂 they have so much energy. Best dogs ever

You just obtained a new subscriber. I have had as many as 3 JRTs at the same time. NOTHING is safe in their presence. Pet parents who have never lived with a Jackie just don't understand them. Wild and mischievous yes, fiercely loyal to their paw-rents.

Whether it is the Jack Russell or the English bull terrier. They have that much energy. They have to burn it off some way and this is how they behave before owning one of these type of breed of dogs you need to be very hands-on and committed owner.

We walked our two Parson Russell terriers every day or took them along on long mountain bike rides. Zoomies we’re still a regular part of their day.

Often when they have sudden access to a larger space. Run more wild if it has one more jrt companion to compete with toys. When my jrt reaches about 15 months old, the zoomies becomes less and less.

This is what happens when the Terrior, who naturally needs to engage in running, baying & chasing, outside -- cannot. Perhaps at least a long dog run outside could be done for short periods. They honestly need at least about 2 hrs of total "exercise" a day, on average. (My humble opinion, and Common Sense. :)
