15 Quirky Dog Behaviors That Will Make You Laugh

9. After-Bath Zoomies

Zoomies after bathing—those hilarious bursts of energy where your dog sprints around and bounces off things like they’ve lost their mind—are actually quite normal. In fact, this behavior is your dog’s way of releasing pent-up energy after being restrained during a bath. After all, bath time can feel a little stressful or uncomfortable for some dogs, and zooming around is their way of shaking off that tension. It’s also practical in their eyes. Sprinting and rolling on the floor might help them dry off faster, especially if they’re not thrilled about being damp. Not to mention, it’s also just plain fun! For many dogs, running wild after a bath is a form of celebration—it’s their way of saying, “Freedom at last!” So, while it might seem a bit too chaotic, post-bath zoomies are perfectly normal and a healthy way for your dog to let loose. Just make sure they have a safe space to run and slide around without knocking over the furniture—or you!
