While the
child who is
hyperactive has a
very brief attention span in virtually every situation (usually except for television or computer games),
children who are gifted can concentrate comfortably for long periods on tasks that interest them, and do not require immediate completion of those tasks or immediate consequences.
In this regard, a calm pup placed with a family with
hyperactive children and poor training, will tend to result in a
very energetic and unsettled dog.
