Is there some unknown purpose for this sudden and seemingly meaningless-with-no-reason burst of energy?
The triggers seem to be many, at least for Wally:
-I'm wet
-I'm in the rain
-I'm wet and in the rain
-It's windy and it's blowing in my face
-There's a lot of open ground here!
-You threw the ball and I'm just gonna run around!
-I haven't done this in a while
-We just finished a training/shaping session and now he's running everywhere in joy (I guess?)
So, I ask you all who are way smarter about dogs than this 1-dog, first-time owner. What IS the purpose of zoomies?
