YES. This has to be one of my favorite topics to discuss. Don't get me started in person unless you want your ears talked right off your head.
There's a game you can play with your dog that will let them release pent up energy appropriately, while engaging in bond strengthening vigorous activity combined with high intensity communication. For most people the game of tug is just holding on to the opposite end of the rope. It can, and should, be much more.
Use the game of Tug in the house to burn off the energy of a hyperactive dog prior to a walk. So they don't drag you after every squirrel or smell, and you can have a fighting chance of capturing some attention from your dog out amongst the distractions.
Use it on a rainy day when a walk is just out of the question. In my first Philadelphia apartment I had about 4 square feet of play space in a kitchen to work with. Just enough for a good game of tug.
The OUT is another component to the game of tug. While playing one should give the "Out" cue about once every 5-6 seconds.
Teaching your dog to release an object from their mouth will pay dividends. As someone who has seen far too many foreign body surgeries on our loving companions, I beseech to all who read this to please, teach your dog the words "out" and "leave it". More on that in future posts.
Speaking of future posts this topic is massive. I gave an entire hour long lecture on it at Cornell's inaugural Behavior symposium in 2015. Future posts will include topics like teaching the out, a default "leave it", The how's and when's of using your voice, type/size of tug, Movement and Energy, and on and on.
