This toolkit was born from our need to create peace at home. With two strong-willed rescues, we learned that predictable routines and practical tools could transform our daily life. We’re not trainers—we’re just real dog parents sharing what helped us.
If you’ve ever felt like your household was on the edge of chaos, this toolkit is for you. These are the exact steps, tools, and routines we used to bring calm to our high-energy dogs—so you can skip the guesswork.
As dog parents, we know that structure isn’t just helpful—it’s essential. Especially when living with high-energy breeds or rescue dogs still adjusting to home life. The Calm-er Pup Toolkit for high-energy dogs walks you through the exact products, habits, and daily routines that helped us find stability. We didn’t create this as experts. We built it out of necessity, frustration, and trial-and-error. It’s not one-size-fits-all, but it’s real, and it’s worked for us. From flirt pole sessions to puzzle toys and wind-down rituals, this toolkit makes space for both fun and calm. If you’ve ever ended the day feeling overwhelmed, unsure how to help your dog (or yourself) settle, this is for you.
Everything in the Calm-er Pup Toolkit for high-energy dogs was tested with our own dogs—Yenni, a Husky/Malinois mix who never stops moving, and Shelly, a steady and grounded GSD. If you’re ready to reduce chaos and reclaim your day, start with what’s inside. We’re not promising perfect—but we can share what’s helped us thrive.
If you’ve ever felt like your days with a high-energy dog were just about surviving, not thriving, you’re not alone. The Calm-er Pup Toolkit for high-energy dogs was built to change that—for real households, not perfect ones. It’s not about doing more. It’s about doing what works. Everything in this guide comes from our experience with Yenni and Shelly—two very different dogs with very real needs. The tools inside are simple, practical, and proven in our own home.
