Hyper dog, what foods to avoid this?

trust me I have the same problem…I have a 90lb pit and he is very hyper at times…and he loves to jump on people…but it takes some time and effort to get them to stop…food does not have as much to do with the dogs excitement as the dog being a puppy does…pit are just energetic by nature and I dont care what you feed them they will bounce off the walls…so just be patient and persistant…trust me I know your pain

Ditto to all the above… exercise and obedience training will do far more to bringing this puppy under control, than a change of food (tho I don’t know what you’re feeding)…

Please note, that he really IS still a puppy…with all the exhuberance and joie de vie he had at 3 months, only now he’s bigger. Put a leash on him when people come to the door and teach him to sit/stay (or all four on the floor), before he gets any attention.

Going to an obedience class with this boy will also give him a sense of a “doggie social” life…and Pits need lots of socialization…He’ll mature at about 18 months or so, and tho he might still be hyper (some of this is dictated by his genes)…but you will notice a difference in the excitability.
