A desperate dog mom’s journey from chaos to calm

It was 2:47 AM when I finally broke down crying on my kitchen floor, watching my Border Collie ricochet off the walls like a furry pinball.

Three. In. The. Morning.

And she was just getting started.

If you have a hyper dog, you’ve lived this nightmare.

Endless energy. Destroyed furniture.  The looks from other dog owners that scream “control your animal.”

I was failing as a dog mom.

Or so I thought.

The Daily Chaos That Nearly Broke Me

A typical day with Luna looked like this:

💥5:30 AM – Paws on my face. Time to PLAY! 

💥6:00 AM – First walk. She pulls like a sled dog. 

💥7:30 AM – Zoom call interrupted by zoomies 

💥9:00 AM – RIP to another couch cushion 

💥12:00 PM – Second walk. Still not tired. 

💥2:00 PM – Barking at… air? 

💥5:00 PM – Third walk. I’m exhausted. She’s not. 

💥8:00 PM – Fetch indoors. Bad idea.

💥11:00 PM – Please. Just. Sleep. 

💥2:00 AM – Party time apparently

I tried everything.

Doggy daycare

$600/month
(she got kicked out)

Professional trainer

$1,200
(helped for two expensive weeks)

CBD oil.

Thunder shirts.
Calming music. Puzzle toys.

Nothing. Worked.

I loved Luna desperately. But I was struggling.

My work was suffering.

My relationships were strained.

I hadn’t slept properly in months.

Something had to change.

The Vet Visit That Changed Everything

“Is there something wrong with her?” I asked desperately.

Dr. Chen looked at Luna bouncing off the exam room walls and smiled.

“Nothing’s wrong. She’s just mentally starving.”

Mentally… starving?

“Think about it,” she explained. “Border Collies were bred to manage 100+ sheep for 12 hours a day. Luna manages… what?”

My couch cushions, apparently.

The Shocking Truth About High-Energy Dogs

Physical exercise alone will NEVER tire them out.

In fact, it often makes them worse.

You’re creating canine athletes who need MORE and MORE exercise. What do they really need?  Mental exhaustion.

“But I’ve tried puzzle toys,” I protested.

Dr. Chen shook her head.

“Those last what, five minutes? Your dog needs sustained mental challenge.  At least 30-45 minutes.”

She pulled out her phone and showed me something.

“My clients swear by this.”

The $15 Solution I Almost Didn’t Believe

It looked like a regular dog toy.

“It’s called Freezbone,” Dr. Chen explained. “But it’s not really a toy. It’s a mental workout disguised as a treat.”

I was skeptical.

How could a frozen toy solve what $2,000+ couldn’t?

But I was desperate.

The night that changed our lives

The First Time I Saw Luna… Calm

45 minutes.  She licked and worked at that frozen Freezbone for 45 minutes straight.

Then she looked at me, sighed contentedly, and fell asleep.

At 8:30 PM.

I literally didn’t know what to do with myself.

For the first time in months, I had an evening.

I watched Netflix. Read a book. Had a glass of wine without a live-action dog parkour show in my apartment.

Was this real life?

The Science Behind the Magic

1. The Licking Factor

Repetitive licking releases endorphins and serotonin. It’s literally calming their brain chemistry.

2. The Temperature Effect

Cold sensations activate the vagus nerve, triggering the “rest and digest” response. It’s like a chill pill.

3. The Challenge Duration

Unlike 5-minute puzzle toys, frozen treats last 30-60 minutes. That’s enough time for real mental fatigue.

4. The Working Dog Satisfaction

Dogs NEED to work for rewards. Freezbone satisfies this primal need better than any toy.

Dr. Chen was right.

Luna wasn’t broken.

She wasn’t bad.

She was just a brilliant dog with nothing to do.

Freezbone gave her a job she loved.

The Ripple Effect I Never Expected

Here’s what nobody tells you about living with a hyper dog:

It affects EVERYTHING.  Your mental health. Your relationships. Your work. Your home.

When Luna calmed down, my entire life transformed:

✅ I started sleeping 8 hours again

✅ My productivity at work skyrocketed

✅ I could have friends over without embarrassment

✅ Date nights became possible (dog sitters would actually come back!)

✅ I remembered why I got a dog in the first place

In a word: I got my life back.

Real Stories from the Hyperdog Trenches

“We have two dogs, one is a very active 74 pound puppy.  We love Freezbones to allow quiet time in the evening.”

“LOVE our freezbones! It has been an absolute necessity for our two active pups!!”

“My pups are so active and it’s hot in Texas. They love to enjoy a cool treat and the enrichment is so valuable for them.”

Your Dog Isn’t Trying to Drive You Crazy

They’re trying to tell you something.

Most problem behaviours are just symptoms

Destructive chewing = Boredom

Excessive barking = Frustration

Hyperactivity = Mental understimulation

Inability to settle = Anxiety from lack of purpose

Freezbone addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms.

The Daily Routine That Saves My Sanity

7:00 AM– Morning Freezbone with breakfast

Result: Calm morning, productive work time

2:00 PM – Afternoon Freezbone break

Result: No more afternoon destruction

7:00 PM – Evening wind-down Freezbone

Result: Peaceful evenings, better sleep

Three Freezbones.  Three moments of peace. Transformed dog.

Total time investment? 2 minutes of prep. 

Total cost per day? Less than $1.

Having a manageable dog? Priceless.But What If…

“My dog destroys everything. Won’t they destroy this?” 

Luna destroyed 3 Kongs. Her Freezbone? Still going strong after 8 months. It’s built different.

 “My dog is picky. What if they won’t use it?” 

Fill it with their favorite treats. I’ve yet to meet a dog who refuses frozen peanut butter or chicken broth.

“Seems too good to be true…” That’s what I thought. 

That’s what everyone thinks. Until they try it.

The Hidden Cost of Doing Nothing

I almost gave Luna up.

Let that sink in.

I loved her desperately, but I was at my breaking point.

How many dogs end up in shelters because their humans never found the right solution?

How many relationships strain under the pressure?

How many people live in chaos, thinking it’s normal?

It doesn’t have to be this way.

6 Months Later: Our New Reality

Luna is still a Border Collie.  She’s still smart, energetic, and intense.

But now?

She’s also calm. Focused. Content.

We hike together (she doesn’t pull anymore).

We have movie nights (she actually watches with me).

Friends comment on how well-behaved she is.

The same friends who used to avoid visiting.

All because of a freezable piece of rubber and some frozen yogurt.

Ridiculous? Maybe.

Life-changing? Absolutely.
