The “Zoomies” explained Zoomies or Bully Run are indisputably among the funniest moments in a dog owner's life. The technical term for “zoomies” is FRAPS , Frenetic Random Activity Periods. It is normal dog behaviour. A behaviour that occurs spontaneously, is short in duration and depending on the dog may include spinning , running fast in circles, jumping on and off the couch and more. It is a way for dogs to expend excessive energy, handle stress and express their enthusiasm. The zoomies is normal dog behaviour, nothing to worry about.
Except for the dog's safety while it happens. However, if an adult dog has the zoomies very often, like every morning or every afternoon and the behaviour does not seem to stem from excitement but rather be the dog's routine, then one should look into what is causing the behaviour. One possible reason for this , could be the dog is not having enough daily exercise. The dog is therefore looking for a way to expend built up energy.
Another possible reason could be that something in the dog's everyday life, makes him stressed. The behaviour may be the dog's way to process that stress. When it comes to Bull Terriers, this behaviour on a daily or regular basis , can lead to CCD ( Canine Compulsive Disorder). According to the AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB CANINE HEALTH FOUNDATION, INC the Bull Terrier is among the breeds with a predisposition to CCD.
So, give your Bull Terrier enough exercise, eliminate stress factors and you can be sure the Zoomies is pure enthusiasm and nothing to worry about!
