Because it's a mini-Australian Shepard.
They have enough energy to light a mid-size city.
He's gonna need lots of exercise. Look up activities and contests for him to join. Look up Flyball, agility and clubs where he can learn something and burn off some of that energy.
Good Luck

could be several reasons. Firstly, Aussies are herding dogs, bred to work. Some are more "busy" than others...It might be bored.
You might want to try walking/jogging. Or find an obedience or agility trainer and enroll in classes to spend quality time to work and play together.

It's a herding dog, they need a job. They were bred to work cattle or sheep for 12 hours a day. Try running him in agility or flyball, that would give him a job to do.

Usually when a larger breed is bred down to a smaller size they get hyper. Its breeding. Lots of fetch will help.

She needs a friend to play with and more attention. It seems she is left alone to much. If you cant get another dog for her go to obedience classes. Take her for walks or in the car when the weather is cool. ATTENTION

Male-Female........does it get enough exercise outdoors, running, playing, do you live in a small apartment, not enough room to excert energy. Or maybe just very happy and energetic, like my hyper dog.

Just because its young, they all calm down when they get older. In the mean time just try and train it to not do so many things that annoy you while it is hyperactive.

It could be bad training. Is it caged up a lot? This could be the problem too.
