How To Calm An Excited Dog (First Meeting) – Live Dog Demo!

• Ignore the behavior. If your dog is excited because they want your attention, the best thing you can do is to ignore them. This will teach them that excitement does not get them what they want.
• Provide a distraction. If your dog is excited because they are bored, try to provide them with a distraction. This could be a toy, a game, or a walk.
• Use a calming command. If your dog knows a calming command, such as “sit” or “stay,” you can use it to help them calm down.
• Give your dog a break. If your dog is overtired, they may be more likely to get excited. Give them a break from playing or training to let them rest.
• Talk to your veterinarian. If your dog is excessively excited, it may be a sign of a medical condition. Talk to your veterinarian to rule out any underlying medical problems.

Here are some additional tips:

• Do not yell or punish your dog. This will only make them more excited.
• Be consistent with your commands. If you are inconsistent, your dog will not know what to expect and will be more likely to get excited.
• Be patient. It may take some time to teach your dog how to calm down. Be patient and consistent, and they will eventually learn.

It is important to remember that every dog is different. What works for one dog may not work for another. Experiment with different techniques to find what works best for your dog.
