Why do you want him to stop? Or isn't that what you're asking? It's a coping mechanism or it's an enticement to play. Some dogs just seem to enjoy "zoomies with a stick" rather than plain ole "zoomies." And it can certainly be a coping mechanism, as it helps him have the fun and still feel in control of himself.

Gracious! How old is he? You didn't mention. Is he old enough for classes. Can you occupy his mind? Zoomies are a fact of life with most Rottie's.

If you don't like it IN the house, take the pup OUT more. Give him a rubber toy or stick and let him have at it. Do you have babies in the house? Is that why there are things on the floor that "aren't his?" If there are no babies...then what is that stuff doing laying around where he can get it?

My girls are almost 4 and almost 7. If I didn't see zoomies on a daily basis out in the fenced yard, I'd be wondering if they needed to see a vet! Have you ever seen TAMDEM ZOOMIES? That's a real trick. Two big ole buffalo's thundering around the yard carrying opposite ends of the same branch!

My neighbors will stop what they're doing and just watch, smile, joke and laugh. It's a daily block party!
