Mental Exercise. Mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise for a puppy to be able to calm down. It helps wear him out in a positive way. Of course obedience training counts too. And so do puzzle and other enrichment toys and games. They help expand your puppy’s mind and expend energy.
Say you want to teach sit to an excited dog. Well, as you walk your dog, every 45 to 60 seconds, you have him sit, and then praise and reward. That is the essence of positive reinforcement training. Then, take it a step further. Every 45 to 60 seconds, you jazz up your dog and then try to get him to sit.
Brain Train your Dog. 5. Keep your Dog at a Comfortable Place. Another awesome way to keep your dog calm when guests come over without much training is to make your dog lie at a comfortable, cosy place which your dog can associate with wonderful things and time. This place should be mobile.
If you have someplace to be, allow an extra 5 minutes or so to work on calm, good habits before you go. Rushing out the door will just make leaving home an even more excitable, overstimulating event. If your dog is not calm before the walk, she will continue to be overexcited when you leave home, and all through the walk.
Solution: Wait a couple of minutes before loving them up. Keep your voice calm to keep your dog calm. Submissiveness: Your dachshund is being submissive if he shakes and has an accident when someone approaches him. Solution: To stop this behavior, avoid eye contact and physical contact when approaching the dog.
