Our new dog is only around 6 months old and she’s still a puppy, found a stray. Of course she has that insane puppy energy. Her foster home was also fostering older dogs that likely couldn’t handle her energy and easily got overstimulated by her hyper puppy nature. She likes to bite and jump, so we normally turn our backs when she jumps, but if she’s biting we tend to grab a bone for her or her squeaky toy. She’s a mutt, bull terrier is one of the breeds that is likely one, but she also has the same shape as a short hair border collie like our previous dog, but she also has that separation anxiety.

Thanks for this awesome video. I especially liked the reference to herding breeds "freezing up" when over aroused. My old girl got like that every time we saw a rabbit. We would laugh and say "Bunny Alert!" Eventually, if I said that first before she froze up, she would be focused on me more than the bunny, and acknowleding the source of excitement made our bond closer.

@magdalenakaminska2057 2 года назад

There are no words that can describe how I’m grateful for the knowledge that Susan is sharing with us. I have a year old golden retriever puppy, who can easily get overexcited and starts nipping, stops listening, sometimes he’s humping on my leg. Usually what I would do is to ask him to go to his crate, and wait for him to settle down. Now i know that it’s not a solution that helps him enjoying his life or teaching him to relax. Thank you for that! I’d like to share recent events that made me to end the relationship I’ve had with my boarding place. I don’t use it often, only when I had to travel abroad and couldn’t take him with me. The boarding place is operated by a couple who says that they know how to train dogs and makes them obedient. But when I learnt that they were spraying my puppy with water every time he misbehaved I was truly upset. It even caused a huge deterioration from improvement I did with my vet behaviourist in very mild case of resource guarding (they were aware of the protocol for resource guarding that we were working on). So they would spray water on him whenever they wanted to take a toy from him when he either stiffened or started growling. I thought I did enough research to find a best place possible, they accepted only 3 dogs at a time. There is a lesson for me, to always asks more questions regarding approach to the training to anyone his taking care of your dog. I was away for a week and already can see a negative impact on my pups behaviour. I wish I could find someone with a half amount of empathy that Susan has.

Thank you Susan for sharing all of your games, stories, wisdom, insight… I am a dog 4H leader and just today, I made a batch of “sardine specials” which I shared with the kids in my club. We worked with our dogs for a bit (the treats were very popular) then made homemade Valentines for senior citizens in our community. Your values mesh so well with ours - make the world a better place. My puppy, Trygve, and I are learning so much from Home School the Dog. I am trying to pass on as much knowledge as I can to these 4H families and am constantly recommending your videos, podcasts and blog to every dog person I know! Thank you, thank you. ❤️

He doesn’t have a mean bone in his body, but he is VERY excited to greet other dogs. Being 70 pounds and looking a little like a wolf, that doesn’t always go over so well. I can’t wait to try the techniques you talk about in this video 😊

@IDK-pb3zt Год назад

I feel the same way with our pup. I had him bark at a dog because he wanted to play. We were at a bar so he was on lead. The owner of the other dog stood still and told me to control my pup. He then walked by and stopped a bit further to tell me to go get him training. We do training every week. He has been with us for 2 months (he is 8 months) and is a rescue. I cried because the guy was intimidating and I felt I wasn't good enough for my pup. We do everything we can. Because we care about our dog, we watch this video. Any bulky aggressive adult man who wants to intimidate a woman should really train himself in respectful behaviour.

A wise man once told me, “I asked you what time it was and you told me how to make a clock.” You might want to split your video into two parts: The causes of hyperactivity in dogs, and How to improve that behavior. In particular, I found it very frustrating spending time learning what NOT to do to help my dog. Practical help is golden, and I think that most people stopping here are more interested in how to fix the problem than the history of it. Thank you for your dedication and concern.

Not an aggressive bone in her body but she wants to play the minute she sees another dog 😅

@user-bx4ov2qy8b Месяц назад

One of the best protection dog trainers I've met used the phrase "stress innoculation" when teaching dogs that, yes, some things in life might freak you out somewhat, but it doesn't have to cripple you and your owners. Exposing dogs to real life and maintaining YOUR cool, confident leadership develops the dog's trust in you and builds their self esteem. There's an entire world outside of a fenced area that many people don't feel capable of bringing their dogs into due to reactivity issues (shelters are full of these dogs). I commend anyone watching this video and seeking to find true assistance. Leave the e-collars to the professionals (these devices DO have a place in the correct hands), and realize that, many times, it is not the dog, but YOU and how you interact (or not) with your animal that will make all the difference.

@sheilasim9200 Год назад

Loved this! To describe Tater Salad is to describe Ollie (my french bulldog) who also had a previous owner who had him at daycare and let him go in dog parks. Absolutely no aggression but RUDE and sending all the wrong messages. As I live alone in the country we don't naturally get the kind of exposure to dogs that we need so I drive 30 minutes (one way) to a small city where there is a terrific park with lots of space to work at a distance with really good owners who keep their dogs on leash. However, he is excited from the get go and especially when he sees a dog. When we're walking our country road, the woods & fields, we are clearly together and in synch and it is such a joy. But in an environment with dogs his excitement just escalates and he is hardly aware of me at all - he goes into drive! After a year of working on this I am getting so discouraged with my inability to manage this.

I know he's excited but they wanted to stop it...idk to me that didn't seem right. He barking at me because of me he wants me to give direction faster I'm struggling... not him.

@coyotech55 Год назад

I have a couple of dog sisters, and one is bossy and excitable. They both wrestle and play and often get along well. They also often break into fights. The excitable one usually starts them, but not always. Anyways, I've noticed that if I get after the excitable one when she's on top in a fight, either to pull her off, or maybe spray water on her trying to break up the fight, it just gets her more crazy and makes it worse. I'm finding better ways to handle (and prevent) their fights, but that was an eye opener for me to see that.

@elizabethangus4758 11 месяцев назад

Have a Beagle who loses his mind when he see other dogs. The noise he makes about it effectively shuts out any attempt of mine to try to correct or calm him. I also have a small mix I adopted who is very excitable and I believe she has been conditioned to react with mindless excitement (like when she wants out) because it gets her what she wants fastest. I am trying to ask her to calm, sit, before the door opens. She can think if she wants to, and that’s the response I am going for.

Thank you for sharing your amazing expertise. I had 3 dogs in Agility and Flyball a number of years ago (2 BCs and 1 JRT). We always admired your training techniques, and clinics! I really appreciate finding your RU-vid channel; and love that you have the minute markers! Currently trying to teach/train a 2 yr old JRT mix, (just adopted)--his background is basically as a member of a pack of dumpster dogs. He is feisty, demanding, and noisy now that he has settled in with us. Hoping to get him from a 10 to a 5 LOL!

Get up early and take your dog for exercise, an hour, and a half. Take your dog again in the evening, use open spaces and take a couple of toys for the dog to fetch. Your dog will quieten down and you will feel fitter.

Great video, lots of great info. We just had a litter of Pomsky pups, and they’re 7 days old. I started doing something called ENS which is Early Neurological Stimulation. The theory is that by applying gentle stressors early on, the dog is able to handle stress better later on in life and in training. This is my first go at the ENS program, and I’ll be keeping one of the pups. I’m super interested in seeing how it makes a difference in early adolescence.

I got you on all points but I opine that a dog should be able to calm down in certain situations....eg bedtime.

Our dog is unlike any dog we've ever had or known. She is a blend of 4 kinds of shepherds...one being an Australian . Scout is a little over 6 1/2 yrs. old. We live on a busy street. Seems like she should be used to traffic & people walking by our house after living here all of her life (except first 8 weeks). People walk by our house every single day. She will bark because she hears someone walking by. She'll bark because cars/trucks are stopped in front of our house because traffic is backed up because of a train. If UPS, FED EX, Amazon makes a delivery , she barks. When I stand up to see about the delivery, the barking gets more frenzied along w/bouncing & moving around quickly. We can't keep her away from triggers. She over-reacts just because I come downstairs or just because I stand up. We take her w/us in the car often. She's great in the car! She's quiet. But when we arrive home, she over-reacts.She barks & runs around. What calms her down is to have her go in our living room & I close the gate which we have separating it from the dining room. This lets us do whatever we need to do upon arriving home w/out a dog under our feet, barking. Scout has a very sweet nature, not a mean bone in her body. And she is smart! I love her dearly. I love her enthusiasm. The barking, tho, is especially a problem because my husband suffers from misophonia which is triggered by Scout's bark !

Hi Pat, thank you for wanting to help Scout. Here's are two resources for you to consider with these challenges in mind to turn things around. The first is our playlist on creating calm - ru-vid.com/group/PLphRRSxcMHy3KQXSC-3IzEdBgBetrl2YP We also have a video to help you with everything that she is reacting to outside - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-62V-3JsHKvE.html

I have a rescue Lab/Staffy that sometimes acts like an "overly aroused" dog.. She might spin in circles, and she jumps on people when our company arrives. I was thinking that she was spinning as a way of "acting out" for not getting her way on a walk.. But your description now makes a LOT of sense to me. There are times my rescue lunges, spins and VERY occasional (when she had not has enough sleep and rest) may nip .I have found that if she goes into spinning mode I can stop our walk, caress her physically and talk to her gently and softly I can usually calm her down enough to continue our walk.Lunging at strangers is also an issue in the past and mainly when she gets "startled" suddenly by a loud vehicle racing by us on our walk, a fast biker or fast jogging dog. This was a very inciteful and helpful video for me Thank you!.

I got my 6th Boston in February and WOW. I’ve never had one as over-aroused as he is. Some of those 6 were rescues; one was “untrainable” (he wasn’t..at all…he just needed positive reinforcement) and one was a mill mama for 5 years until the mill was busted. I’ve had some really difficult cases, but my new guy tops them all - and he came from a reputable breeder. He was the first I’ve had to medicate; I put him on Prozac and Trazodone at 7 months old and it was the best decision I could have made. He’s still over-aroused at times, but he was so anxious before meds that he was practically untrainable. I’d only managed to teach him to sit in the 5 months he’d been with me, and I realized I had a real problem. He’s so much happier now and his quality of life is so much better. He’s learning new things all the time now and is finally nearly house trained - his anxiety was so terrible that he wouldn’t even use the restroom outside, and he had no queues inside because all he did was run around frantically…all the time. I exercised him and exercised him to no avail; meds were the only thing that helped. I hope your baby is doing better ❤ Just wanted to let you know you weren’t alone with an insane Boston 😂

I have had around 15 dogs maybe more and I have always trained them for fun through trial and error. Now I have a year old doberman/ cattle dog rescue named Luffy that is the smartest dog I have ever owned and can learn any trick in 2sec. Get him on a leash and walk him around and he is a lunatic. When my kids are home he is a lunatic lol Even after 2mo he is not much better. He was not properly socialized with dogs or people so he barks a lot. Also he has the herd dog mentality. He can sit and focus on me sometimes but I can see the energy wanting to explode. This video is for him 😄

I have a Canadian golden retriever. When she gets excited she zones out and it's hard to get her attention. She will sit and stay and can heel but the slightest thing, another dog or person, and she tears away from me. She is extraordinarily strong. She is all muscle. I've spent some time on the sidewalk face down..I'll try this. I just want to keep her safe and not scare people with her enthusiasm or embarrass me. She loves everything.

@hal7ter 7 месяцев назад

Yesterday when I was talking with a workman about coming while I was away for the day, I told him, my dog, a 60 pound puppy, could knock you over with enthusiasm, so the strategy is, Don't look at him. If he jumps, turn your back. Don't talk to him or hold out your hand to him. When I came home, the work man was working away, unmolested. Of course, when I opened my car door, the dog jumped in, onto my lap, but that is another matter. The 'no speak, no eye contact' thing worked with a friend the other day also. I will be watching these vids - looking forward to it!
