Train Your Dog to Turn Off Excitement with Sara Brueske 

Same here :-) This exercise sounds great and I will try it and I do similar things (from high energy tuck play to place/stay), but from my experience with my high drive border collie, it alone won't change it. The reason is, that in my view, a high-drive border collie knows the difference between training and real life, so they will easily regulate themselves in training, but in real life with lots of stimulation that doesn't mean they can/want to regulate. What has helped me most are for example Tylor Muto's impulse control exercises at the doors (I forgot the name he uses for it), where the dog has to learn that he gets access to resources only when I allow it. Along those lines, teaching the dog that it will not get what it wants as long as he is in an aroused state. Also Michael Ellis's approach of building high engagement so that I am more interesting and can redirect the dog has helped me immensely and basically making sure that the dog does not react to everything in its environment and instead focusses the high energy it has on me and on productive things like heelwork etc. But altogether not to expose the dog to too stimulating environments while making sure he or she gets sufficient mental and physical exercises.

@@m4rtin419 thank you for getting back my dog does wait patiently at the door he’s very very smart he’s a Border Collie and knows all commands but he’s just hyper and aroused and I do know Michael Ellis also I’ve been training dogs for 20 years now so and I also have had border collies in this oneslittle crazy monkey but I’m working with them and we don’t give up. We thank you very much and have a wonderful day.
