Capturing Calmness- how to train calmness in dogs

- This video is a tutorial on how to teach your puppy or dog to be calm.
Some dogs need help to learn how to relax. Calmness does not come naturally to some breeds .By reinforcing your dog for being calm, your dog will start to choose calmer behaviors in the future and actually enjoy being calm.
Tips for teaching a Default Settle:
Don't drop treats if the dog looks up at your hand as you move to give the dog the treat, instead try again later.
Don't cue the dog "down". It works better if the dog figures it out on his own and CHOOSES to lay down.
Use high value treats like real meat or cheese for such a wonderful behavior.

I just wanted to make sure to let you know how well this method is working for my almost 4 month old Aussie, Finn. For anyone watching this video, make sure you do everything she says in this video exactly the way she says. And make sure you are in a calm state of mind too, just relax, don't give your dog attention if he jumps on you, just set him back down on the floor. If he wont lay down, try having him sit and say good boy and then wait for him to decide to lay down on his own. Don't stare at him as you wait, just watch him out of the corner of your eye or glance back and forth. When he lays down, treat him immediately. You can even pet him or scratch his back every so often as a reward, to show him you are aware of his presence and as if to say "i like this, this is enjoyable time together". Also, make sure he is not thinking about the treat or doing that head down thing splash did. My dog now lays completely on his side as if taking a nap. It has made him calmer overall too :)
I have a 4 month old Aussie, Faith. I have a hard time getting her to calm down even when she is tired. When she is tired, it's the worst. She runs around like crazy and bites my legs and feet. I just usually wait it out and eventually she will lay down and fall asleep but it takes a while before that happens. I also tell her to ly down which works sometimes but not always. I probably should have her on a leash more often so I can more easily control her. I will try this out and see how it works. It sounds like you have had success with it with your Aussie so I bet it will work with mine. Thanks for the tips.
45 years later, this video is still good
Just dug this up after listening to yet another person complain about an over-aroused puppy at home. I just have to comment to say that this is one of the most precious concepts I've adopted as a dog owner. It's been several years, three dogs later and I have always lived with calm polite dogs at home. All thanks to this simple (yet elusive) concept.
So thanks!
I love how her(their) skills come first and the video making comes second. Not insulting her video making skills just appreciating the quality of the content.
As much as I wish I had sent my dog to Brandon for training before bringing him home th-cam.com/users/postUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU I am so grateful for this down-to-earth, practical guide. His training techniques and tips really work. Thank you as well for dedicating your life's work to rescue dogs, and to rescuing those of us who want the very best for our 4-legged family members.
i use a lot of your amazing videos for clients, i would love to see you START this one with a really large hyper dog because people don't know how to start and find that single moment of calmness, sometimes just staying safe around being near the dog in a moment because as soon as they are thinking about looking for the dog's right behavior, the dog senses and acts crazy - im talking extreme examples unfortunately all too common ! but would love that video from you since i am not good at getting my own videos done :) see you at expo Emily !
I'm sharing this video again, for maybe the 50th time in 10 years. It is SO effective and transformative.
I made a newer version here th-cam.com/video/yr1olzgidMw/w-d-xo.html same info tho
@UTRoscoe It does no harm to reinforce calmness :) Also a lot of people tend to think "phew, thank goodness fluffy is laying down! lets not disturb him!" rather than, what a great time to give fluffy reinforcement and attention!
great vid, i play a calm game with my dogs, while out on walks in the field, all of a sudden i drop to a sit on the grass and i wait for my dogs to start mirroring me and relaxing and i reward this. its fun:))
This video alone changed my life and my puppy's life. I work from home and the day we started training this she is a new puppy! All your videos are great but thank you for this one in particular!!
I totally fell into the trap of my pup "looking away" but still expecting the treat, AND rewarding him even though he looked up. I feel like we sit there for half an hour and he'd never get a treat if I had to wait till he actually ignored it. But, we shall start from scratch. I NEED this behaviour from him, and he needs it to, especially before our baby comes in December!!! Thanks again, Emily!
I love high drive busy dogs. I love the energy enthusiasm and ability to focus rhat comes built in woth this type of dog. The downside is that these dogs can become anxious fearful and neurotic if you dont put the groundwork into desensitiIzing and socializing them. hey need to have their behavior shaped from the earliest moments. I currently have a high drive sport dog and I use mat training to control her in situations but have never managed to teach her to "shut off." You explained exactly what I am doing wrong. I am unwittingly reinforcing her focus on the treats. I need to reinforce when she is looking away from me and thinking about something else but still on the mat. I am going to do this and try harder. How utterly educational, this video has been for me.
I am so happy to have found you. I was able to watch few of your videos before picking my IG puppy from the airport after a 6 1/2 hour plane ride (in cargo). I am happy to announce, within one hour of landing and letting her into our yard (no leash or harness) she was licking her lips, yawing, and on my lap! Thank you! Now I have your videos running all day as she adjust to me and her surrounding. I am a fan!
your seminar covered this, and all these calm-behaviours have changed archie's life. He can even stay laying (RELAXED!) while I get up to pee sometimes now! This is huge progress from the dog who couldn't relax except in a covered crate. THANK YOU EMILY.
These techniques are such a gamechanger for hyper dogs. Capturing calmness is definitely helping my insecure rescue girl learn to relax and enjoy napping next to me instead of obsessively looking for shoes to chew.
Your approaches are SO new to me but totally intuitive. So far everything you have suggested has worked for me. I'm loving how relaxed my dogs are now around me even while I have/carry food.
Very helpful! You point out areas that I was having problems with, and now I see why and what I can do about it. As usual, it's me and not the dogs! Why we humans think we are so much smarter than they are is beyond me! Thanks for all that you do, Emily.
Oh gosh- I'm fostering a puppy and the two dog calmness is super helpful.
Just wanted to say a great big THANK YOU for this...it's made a huge difference for me and my dog! My two-year-old rescue border collie had no idea how to relax. We did great in our training classes but he didn't understand the concept of "off time". When we weren't actively training he was always pestering me to do something which was really stressful on us both! Now, though, after using this technique he will lay calmly while I'm in the kitchen or watching TV. Thank you!
This is my favorite video of all time!!! It changed my life (and my dog). It is a classic and I have recommended it to countless other guardians! Thankyou!
We’re 3 days into “capturing” calm and my dog’s behaviour has changed drastically. Place training caused more food anxiety while this video helped us to encourage a default calm behavior that my dog actually started to enjoy without any commands (and it’s only early days now :)) thank you so much for sharing this video
I used this with both my current dogs and it's been great. They are much calmer all the time and will normally settle when asked to - thanks for your excellent videos. I have recommended this to so many people :)
What an absolute sweetheart.
Thank you sooooo much. I GREATLY appreciate you answering my question with a video. I'm sure you have made A LOT of people happy, as do all of your videos.......
Thanks for this. Had a rescue dog come to stay with me yesterday, Lasted 13 months with first family, 4 days with the second. Working Bearded collie cross working border collies from farm dogs. He is a real live wire. Also thanks for the yawning, sighing, eye blinking and lip licking from the other vid.
This is fantastic. I'm just starting to work on this and your nuances really stand out in relation to other videos I've watched, especially the when NOT to give the treats. I've enjoyed watching many of your videos and have subscribed. Thanks for sharing your wisdom with all of us!
Oh thanks!
Thank you. This is the one thing I NEED for my 1 year old puppy. I exercise her daily, but no matter what she still has TONS of energy, so this is perfect for the evenings.
After doing this consistently for a year, my very excitable Aussie is laying on the floor at my feet asleep. My other dog is on the couch snoring. So, so great.
I don’t know who would “dislike” this video. It really truly works. My insaneeee puppy is already catching on after like 2 days. He’s super smart but he’s been laying at my feet for 10+ mins and no treats in the last 10 mins. He got treats for about 5 mins straight and now none and he’s just chillinnnnn. Def gonna be working on this til he masters it
Ah, if a video gets lots of views it gets dislikes. People have conflicting belief systems so when they see something that disrupts their belief system they will act with disgust, frustration or even aggression.
All your dogs are adorable, it was sweet to see splash as a puppy. Great tutorial, keep them coming, it reminds me to tweak things as we get a little lazy sometimes.
Thank you for posting this. I have been trying this, and now see what I have been doing wrong. Clicking, and not waiting for him to be completely relaxed. I put to work your suggestions and am seeing immediate results. So nice to have a plan to work with his reactivity. C/T to you.
Thank you so much for all your videos. I'm finding them very illuminating.
Aww, baby Splash is so adorable!
I'm getting my first BC puppy soon, and I'm really excited (and relaxed ;) ) to start teaching her to be calm. Its my nr. 1 prio. After, I want to start training for freestyle myself. Who knows what questions may arise, I really enjoy your way of training, especially the relax and calm way you handle your pup. Its great!
Brilliant to see that calm and relax can be taught, thanks for sharing, your training techniques are great and easy to follow. I teach my dogs to be calm and relax on cue, they do and seem to appreciate it, but my clients find it hard to believe as it is rarely suggested in many classes etc. I will send them to your video so they can see it works and that I'm not the only one - thank you so much, dogs will benefit hugely :)
Great! I love the point about not feeding while the dog is focused on the food. A much needed video. Thumbs up!
Thank you for all your videos, they are great. It has helped me tremendously, especially right now because our 1 year old has hit spring fever really hard, as the snow is gone and all the sights and sounds are back and she has as a result of spring let go of most of her training outside. We actually have to do a slow wedding walk and loose leash walking inside for 10 minutes before even taking her outside to just walk for 20 ft. to relieve herself.Keep sharing, I will be signing up for your courses, they are a great idea. Blessings.
Wow! That was really helpful. Thanks for sharing that info. Will def try that.
Thanks, this video is so helpful, Kiko is so adorable
I just realized that this is baby Splash... How cute! I love the video.
Great tutorial Em. Timing is certainly one of the hardest parts of training, even when one knows better, I've made mistakes with that. Luckily, it can be remedied! Thanks to you I am aware of how important it is to reinforce calmness. Thx girlie xxx
I came here to say this has worked like a dream with our 4 month old hound. We started enforcing calmness at 7 weeks and it was really easy for her to understand that laying down and relaxing would get her treats. She does this behavior at dinner time, on the train, at cafés and shopping centers. People are amazed to see such a calm puppy and don't believe me when I say she also has a jumping, biting and growling side to her.
Thank you Emily for giving such good advice!
Great to hear! Keep up the good work!
Hey, We just started doing this training with our puppy, but we are unsure of how many times a day/how long the sessions should be? do you have any advice about this?
@@FloatingWhales The shorter you can make your training sessions, the better. That way you give the dog time to think about what just happened, and keep them interested in the training.
For capturing calmness, the "training session" is only a few seconds long, enough to give one unexpected reward when you catch puppy relaxing. You don't need to do this one more than once or twice a day, either.
You also want to build duration in the "settle" behaviour, and teach puppy to stay relaxed long enough for a real life situation. Make the session shorter than the maximum time you are confident your puppy can handle, so that they don't break the behaviour by themselves. The cue to "get up" should always come from you. Don't do too many sessions, rather focus on having a good set-up every time. Once a day or less is fine, it's more important to keep up the training over time, as your puppy enters new stages of development and long into adulthood you will need to enforce the training, especially when there are new environments or distractions.
@@emmamemma4162 Hey Thank you very much for the quick and detailed answer, it would appear that we are doing it correctly then, may you have a nice day and a safe 2021 =)
@@FloatingWhales Thanks a lot! All the best to you and good luck with your puppy :)
Thank you so much! I dont think our puppie( 15 weeks) had so much sleep/rest since the day we got him.
you're so nonchalant and matter of fact in this video it made me giggle a few times! Fabulous information and demonstration and LOVE the brunette!!
Lots of good info, thanks! Especially about feeding the high arousal, I can see that I’ve done that but luckily I’ve been pretty lax on the training so it’s not especially reinforced. Ready to start training calm behaviour in my pup!
It all depends on the dogs personality. With my Chihuahua and older BC, they are so chill I dont ever have to do brush up training, literally never since they were puppies. With my Terrier, hes always on the verge of getting over excited so I have to do sessions on just building calmness often, and the same with my youngest Border Collie, but certainly my terrier wins the prize of being a dog who if you just throw a treat for him, he can loose his mind :)
Great video!! Thanks for the tip. Will train my dogs the same.
This is amazing it works great for a border collie puppy.
Awesome!!!
watching your videos backwards and baby splash is awesome!
Great video!! I have A very hyper active dog and this is great!! I'm going to start looking for the calm moments :) I also wanted to say, watching your walking video my dog is so much better! She's also learning to he objects in her mouth and cross her paws thanks to U!
Great video. Thank you! Splash was such a cute puppy, of course!!
@MultiAnimalcrackers awe! That is awesome! I wish we had a field to walk in! We have rattlers, hawks, mountain lions and coyotes- sigh- you live in such bliss with your animals :)
Thank you very much....
Super helpful thank you.
this has been AMAZING for my puppy! i've not only helped teach him calmer behaviors, but i used this to teach him how to be calm when our older dog is around because he kept overwhelming her with wanting to play when she didn't want that. it's been three days and they're laying together right now which has never happened before!! absolutely genius thank you!
yay. well done with your training!
Love it....and shared:) Thanks, once again, Emily!
Very helpful video. Look at those cute, calm and attentive pups too. Impressive. :-)
Awe thanks! I need to make a new video on this topic, this one is super old :)
Just started working on this yesterday with my hyper, never sit still 3,5 month old pup. And wow, I’m amazed! After only a day of working on this, my pup is already automatically laying down on his mat at my feet, calmly, without a leash.
Thanks so much!!
Yay!!! Well done!
Awww baby splash ❤
cuteness overload!
great vids, thanks so much for sharing.
I have two 10-month golden retrievers (giant puppies!) that desperately need to learn to be calm. Going to try this today!
How do work out for you?
Love this video and the special tips, like how the puppy (I'm assuming it's Splash, from the comments) looks away then at you, at 5:45. Most videos don't give us extra tips like that.
Another great exercise, you make it look so easy! I've been watching your videos regularly for the last month and i'm trying to take in all the advice you give.
We have a Spinone Italiano whos now 13 weeks old, I do a little training with him, would love to do more but i work too much. He comes to work and sits at my feet all day, which i will now reinforce after seeing this video. He gets pretty hyper around our 8 year old girl and the two cats, the cats especially!! Any tips?
Thank you! This is very helpful!!!
Another great video. I don't have a dog, but the principles are good for horses too. Thanks!
your vids are so lovely!
“You don’t see the dog what dog?”😩❤️
Thank you this is super useful! We adopted a collie X huntaway and have been struggling with his constant need for stimulation. We feed exclusively during training or from Kong's, puzzle toys, and do two long walks day with fetch, but feel like we only get 2-3 hours down time per day!
I suggest also adding massage and calm handling to the training th-cam.com/video/AoM9tis3t2c/w-d-xo.html
After only two sessions of practicing this, my 4 mo Lab/German Shepherd mix is extremely calmer. It has also helped her calm down around other dogs a lot too. During session 2, I had my friend's dog (who doesn't like her puppyness) sit in the room, and while she had a lot harder time with that, but she still figured it out pretty quick! Now I am sitting in my office with both of them, with plenty of peace and quiet.
Amazing video. Thank you! Going to be using this method w my pup
@armarification Oh thanks :) I appreciate that people can see the value in clicker training rather than old school training. There are actually quite a few great clicker trainers here on YT, its quite grand. Its like the napster/ limewire of free clicker training information!
Reading this comment in 2020 lol!! I remember limewire 😍❤️✨Xx
Very interesting and useful - thanks!
You make it look so easy! My Golden does ok until company comes over, then she's crazy!!!
Oh Splash you are so so so cute!
Hello!
I admire your videos, and I have translated this one in Russian, if you do not mind.
Only in written. Maybe you wold like to insert russian subtitles in it ?
I hope you also do not mind me translating some other ones? I can send the texts or insert them in comments like in here.
Thank you so much for the great work you are doing!
Спокойствие не является врожденной чертой некоторых пород, поэтому такие собаки нуждаются в обучении расслаблению и спокойствию.
При намеренном обучении собаки спокойствию, собака сама начинает выбирать более спокойное поведение в различных ситуациях, и в будущем будет наслаждаться тем, что она спокойна.
(голос)
0 - 22 Чтобы подловить и подкрепить спокойное поведение, вам просто нужно удивить собаку угощением в тот момент, когда она ведет себя спокойно и не думает о еде.
0 - 28 Смотри, я подошла и просто погладила Сплэш, чтобы она не думала, что я несу ей угощение (после поглаживания, угощает собаку - прим. пер).
0 - 35 Не стоит пользоваться кликером в данном случае, потому что после клика собака становится возбужденной и сразу думает о еде, а не остается спокойной.
0 - 43 В первый раз, когда ты будешь делать это упражнение, собака станет очень взбудораженной после того, как получит лакомство. Поэтому нужно показать, что у тебя больше нету угощения, и попробовать потренироваться позже, когда собака наименее ожидает этого.
0 - 53 Сейчас Таг лег рядом, но он все еще думает о еде, поэтому я ему ничего не даю. Я вернусь в дом, и позанимаюсь с ним позже, когда он снова успокоится.
1 - 00 Обучение постоянному спокойному поведению.
(текст)
1 - 05 Обучение бытовому спокойствию очень удобно, так как собака обучается вести себя определенным образом без подсказки от хендлера. Ты можешь научить собаку лежать спокойно рядом, когда собака на поводке, а ты не обращаешь на нее внимания, или когда занята работой на компьютере, или во время перерыва между тренировками, даже если у тебя есть угощение. Когда работаешь с другой собакой, или когда готовишь или ужинаешь.
(голос)
1 - 26 Обучение бытовому спокойствию.
1 - 27 Итак, я хочу показать тебе как научить собаку вести себя спокойно, когда она на поводке, а ты ее игнорируешь.
1 - 37 Тебе понадобится, собака, поводок и мотивирующее лакомство.
Лакомство должно быть достаточно мотивирующим собаку, потому что иначе она не захочет делать что-то ради него.
1 - 53 Итак, вот ты пришла куда-то с собакой и села.
Не обращай внимания на собаку, и отрегулируй длину поводка таким образом, чтобы он был достаточно коротким, чтобы собака не могла дотянуться до чего-то интересного или возбуждающего. Мы уже делали это упражнение со Сплэш, поэтому она сообразит чуть быстрее, чем неопытные собаки.
2 - 08 Когда собака решил лечь, нужно ее угостить.
Некоторые собаки могут сидеть или беспокоиться довольно долго, нужно дождаться пока она сама решит лечь.
2 - 17 Не нужно привлекать внимание к лакомству, или хвалить - оно должно как бы само собой появиться между лап собаки.
2 - 21 Если собака встала, нужно игнорировать ее ( игнорировать - смотреть в другую сторону, не говорить с собакой, не успокаивать, не побуждать ее снова лечь, нужно быть терпеливым хозяином :) - прим. пер. ) и дождаться пока она ляжет. Если собака спокойно лежит - она получает еще лакомство.
2 - 40 Постепенно нужно увеличивать время между тем как собака легла и получила лакомство, чтобы собака оставалась спокойной все дольше и дольше.
2 - 53 Следующее, что нужно добавить - это упражнение при отвлекающих обстоятельствах. Если вы начали заниматься в комнате, то теперь нужно выйти на улицу, постепенно увеличивая интенсивность раздражителя, ваша конечная точка - это кафе.
3 - 11 Теперь можно добавить прикосновения. Прикоснись, к собаке, погладь ее, и угощай, если она остается спокойной. В кафе часто приходят люди с детьми, и детки могут захотеть погладить собаку, и нужно, чтобы она и в этой ситуации оставалась спокойной.
3 - 29 Обрати внимание, что я не говорю собаке чтобы она спокойно лежала - ей нравится лежать и она сама выбирает такое поведение, поскольку такое поведение подкрепляется мотивирующим лакомством.
3 - 37 Собака осталась спокойно лежать, когда я отошла в сторону, такое поведение тоже нужно подкрепить.
3 - 51 Следующий раздражитель для Сплэш - это другая собака, которая хочет лакомство. Правда, она уже знает как себя правильно вести в такой ситуации.
4 - 02 Сейчас я попрошу Кико сделать несколько упражнений.
(текст - НИКОГДА не используйте наказание при обучении спокойствию!)
Если щенок решит встать, я не стану ему ничего говорить, не стану его наказывать - просто буду игнорировать/, пока он не ляжет снова, и тогда похвалю его.
4 - 08 Кико, иди сюда! Щенуляяяя! Да!
(дает Кико несколько команд, дает обеим собакам лакомство)
4 - 20 Сначала, когда я работаю с двумя собаками и одна из них лежит спокойно, я дуду давать лакомство одновременно обеим собакам.
4 - 40 Ладно. Теперь, когда я встала, собака остается лежать - нужно ее подозвать, по имени или похлопав по бедру. Дать лакомство за то, что собака пошла с тобой.
(собака дает лапу, тренер хвалит ее )
(Следующий отрывок)
5 - 00 Это видео с моим спасенным щенком, которого я только недавно привезла домой. Я начала учить ее оставаться спокойной, но она очень возбуждается при виде еды и из-за новой обстановки, поэтому единственное, на чем он может сконцентрироваться - это как заполучить еду.
5 - 11 Если угощать его пока он смотрит на еду, вместо спокойствия я буду подкреплять возбуждение - поэтому вместо того чтобы давать еду в этот момент, я угощаю его когда он отворачивается, или когда его внимание отвлекают какие-то другие вещи, кроме еды.
5 - 21 Это момент, когда можно допустить много ошибок. Тренер может угощать собаку за то, что она лежит, но при этом все равно подкреплять сильное возбуждение, если в этот момент собака сконцентрировала на еде. И когда собака не получает лакомство, которое она ожидает, она испытывает фрустрацию и встает.
5 - 38 Если же вы угощаете собаку за то, что она НЕ думает о еде, вы подкрепляете желание собаки вести себя спокойно по своему собственному желанию вместо того, чтобы собака делала это по команде.
5 - 46 Также, убедитесь в том, что собака не научается просто смотреть в сторону, чтобы получить лакомство, как Сплэш делает в этом отрывке. Она опускает голову и замирает в таком положении, а потом поднимает глаза на меня, как бы говоря - эй, а где угощение-то мое?
6 - 00 Если вы сомневаетесь и не можете понять, думает ли собака в конкретный момент времени о еде - не давайте ей ничего.
6 - 04 Несколько подсказок:
- не давай собаке лакомство если она смотрит на твою руку, и ожидает, что ты дашь ей что-то; вместо этого попробуй чуть позже.
- не подсказывай собаке командой «лежать»; это работает гораздо лучше, если собака догадается и ляжет САМА
- используй по-настоящему мотивирующее лакомство для награды такого чудесного поведения.
Great video and this is my second time through it. I have a question during the settle exercise. You have not given a settle command, should one be given? If not, how do you get the dog to settle under other circumstances (i.e. while on a walk)? Also, you don't click for the desired behavior or even say "good," what is the reason for this? How do you know when to click to reinforce (mark) a behavior as opposed to when not to? Thanks so much, your videos are amazingly helpful to me!
Hi, thank you so much for your videos, they work wonders. I've been working with my bc and she is a lot calmer and well behaved. Could you give me some tips for stopping bicycle chasing? She gets way too exited to focus on treats or anything.
Thanks again!
Alexo
You are the best.
very helpful i will try this with my bc mix thank you!

Fantastic video, have been looking for something like this for ages for m 2 year old schipperke! And if anyone knows schips, they are HYPER :)) So this will be awesome :)
I made lot of mistakes... thanks for this advices :o) I train my pom only on calmness behaviours. He's so nervous, it's not easy... I keep trying. Thank you very much for your videos :o)
great tutorial as usual, and 4:52 is too cute :)
I have just got a new puppy, Maltese cross. We named him Oscar. Love you videos I am going to start the calming first as i don't have a clicker yet.
Oh my god after 3 weeks my 11 week old pup finally started laying down randomly on the floor for the first time. He is doing it again today, this gives me so much hope 😂
I find you extremely smart and insightful. may I ask how you obtained such knowledge?
I feed my dog when ever i want to ps big fan
Do you have any suggestions for books to read on training techniques and behavior. I have a Weimaraner and use clicker training, I am always looking for new ideas to use to work on pulling or excitability. I like your techniques and have added some in. I have found corrections in other techniques have made my dogs more reactive on walks so know I am trying to work on getting them to make good decisions on their own and use their minds.
@tehrenberg I know! Its super hard!
hi! I am a little confused avout the order of teaching calmness in dogs which are way too excited when it is feeding time, for treats, and for when I or a friend get ready to walk them. I watched the video about five days, low value treats when they naturally are calm. Great idea. But then I saw the videos about giving having them on a leash and rewarding them when they lie down, and then another that recommended not rewarding them for down so they rest calmly themselves. Could you please let me know, for an adult rescue dog, the best sequence of videos to calm the dog around feeding times, and whenever there are treats? Thank you very much!!!
Thanks great turtorial! I have one question about teaching calmness near the couch if out of frustation he’s going to bite in your pants do you stop it before happening with the leash? A lot of leash correction here (meaning keeping his leash short very short can’t go towards my pants) before he calms down (I quess I got frustated so I don’t know yet gave him a time out in his bench without saying anything). So I don’t know if he would calm down didn’t get so far yet. Also he wants to bite the leash if he can’t go near my pants. Also I don’t want to reward him after a bite (jo jo thing like leash walking tutorial lol) Everything except being calm by the way it’s a boerboel pup lol. Thanks Kikopup
As a start it would be good to look at the amount of exercise that the dog is getting. It sounds like the dog has a lot of pent up energy/frustration that it needs to get out, and is using those frustrating behaviors to do that.
Also, with the leash thing - Walk to where the lead is kept. Dog gets excited = you sit back down. Dog remains calm = you attempt to put the lead on the dog. Consistency will teach the dog that being excited stops the lead from being put on him/her.
Good luck :)
Thanks for the great tutorial!! I have a question... my lab puppy is extremely mouthy so even when she lays down near the chair she just starts chewing on the leg. I obviously don't want to reinforce this behavior by giving her treats when she lays down. But even when I give her something appropriate to chew on she just goes after the leg. What should I do to get her to just lay down next to the chair without biting it? Thanks a lot!!
Thank you so much! I’ve been working on this, but how do you get your dog to be calm when they see you to begin with? I’ve seen my dog calm, he gets excited when he sees me and I can’t capture the calmness he originally had before seeing me. Any suggestions ?
@Esther249 I disagree, I think she explains everything very, very well. Very thorough and easy for anyone to understand.
how effective is this with min pin? they are very active.
also, thanks for all videos
Oh my god! Baby Splash!
My dog like to pretend he doesn't care about the food, but once the treat comes out, whaaam!!

O.M.G. the gorgeous Aussie Shepherd from the Christmas video! As a fluffy puppy, she's just too cute- & a blue eye, my weakness, because I had a VERY hyper Aussie Shepherd mix with a beautiful blue eye. I didn't know he was a working dog.
Now my daughter has an Aussie Cattle Dog/English Bulldog mix & he is out of control - the Eng. Bulldog strength & stubborness & the intelligence & constant activity of the Aussie. Maybe your video will help, i've posted it 2 her. Her Bossa Nova is a wonder..
@BCTexasRanger I know! I miss her being a poofy puppy. I called her "Fluffertin" as a nick name.
