About One Sleepy Pup

Hello to all my dog loving readers, welcome to One Sleepy Pup!

My name is Brittany and this is my pup Leeloo. I created One Sleepy Pup to help you learn how to meet your high energy dog’s needs so you and your dog can live happily together.

I was inspired to start this blog from learning how to live with (and sometimes just survive with) my own super high energy dog, Leeloo. Leeloo is a two-year-old Alaskan Malamute that is full of fluff, happiness, and energy!

Expectations

Before we got Leeloo, my partner and I knew we wanted a crazy smart and super high energy dog. We also knew that choosing a high energy dog came with great responsibilities!

Since I am a trained Biologist (yay science!) and LOVE doing research, I was excited to put all my research skills to use to learn as much information as possible on all things high energy dog.

I wanted to make sure I knew what I was getting myself into and make some plans on how to give my pup the best life possible.

For months, I devoured every article, book, and video I could find (only reputable sources of course!). I had deep discussions with vets, dog trainers, and behaviorists. When we finally brought Leeloo home at 9 weeks old I thought we were well prepared!

See that crazy glint in her eyes?

Reality

You can probably imagine how things turned out… Weeks go by and Leeloo is zooming through the house non-stop, using the couch for parkour. We take her for long walks to tire her out only to learn that after the walk she seems to have GAINED energy.

We wearily ask the universe WHY ISN’T THIS PUP TIRED!

Fast forward two years and a TON more trial and error and research, and here I am, writing this article, with my high energy Malamute fast asleep by my feet.

I have learned so much about how to live with this ball of craziness that I decided I wanted to share it with other high energy dog parents who may be pulling their hair out trying to get their dog to finally calm down. I was there too!

One of the major game changers for me was learning that I needed to tire Leeloo out both physically and mentally every day. I’m not going to lie, it can be a challenge some days, but it is SO much fun for both of us.

Our bond grows even stronger, we both get more exercise, and I can finally watch a movie without hearing a tennis ball incessantly squeak!
