Is there such thing as hyperactivity or anxiety disorder in dogs? Not
even long walks or play seems to quiet her down. And she failed
obedience school BTW.

What kind of dog is she? different dogs have different needs ~ eg. my weim
might walk forever but she'll be a total pain in the butt if we don't play a
few mind exercises and keep her mentally stimulated.

Deedee is about 4 years old. She may be a lab-greyhound mix, but we
don't know for sure. The most difficult dog we've ever had.
Sometimes giving her play and exercise just makes her more hyper. It
seems like the dog version of ADHD.

It's all relative, I suppose. The most active dog I've known is my
friend's Pit mix, Isabelle. One day, while dog sitting her, we decided
to tire her out. So, we took her out for a 3 mile walk. After feeding
the dogs, we drove out to a national forest, and gave her a 7 mile walk.
On the way back, she snoozed in the car for a few minutes. Then, we
took her to the dog park, and spent 2 hours there. She played with
other dogs, and chased frisbee the whole time. We came home, thinking
that this dog is toast. Guess what she did after she finished dinner?
Picked up a toy and dropped it in our lap. She has settled down a bit
now that she's older, and makes do with a 5 mile run and a couple of
frisbee playing sessions (1-2 hours total) daily.

The exercise needs of every dog is different. How often do you exercise
your dog? How much exercise does she get? Does she get to run around
off-leash and let some steam out? How much training does she get in a
day? When you said that she flunked obedience training, what did you mean?
