Do you have a puppy?

When socializing:
You want your puppy to meet and greet only one(1) out of every five(5) puppies they see. With the other four(4) puppies your puppy should sit quietly and not be pulling .

When we allow our puppies to meet every puppy they see on leash. We often create a lot of undesired impulse control.

Calmness

Use your dogs meal food or treats.

Do you want your puppy/dog to be calm/ relaxed? Start reinforcing all the calmness. Stop reinforcing the hyped up dog. Every time your dog lays down in a relaxed manner simply walk over and lay a treat on floor beside muzzle. If they get get don’t worry as they will go lay down again and you can reinforce again.
