An important skill for impulse control is the ability to settle down in the face of excitement. There is a lot of value in "installing an off switch" in your dog! It translates into the ability to get your dog to settle on cue even when she is very excited. This is especially useful when you want to let your dog know that an activity or a game has ended. Some high-energy dogs simply don’t know when to stop, and they can keep going long after you’ve already tired of the activity.
An effective way to turn off activity in an action-loving dog is to teach an "all done" cue. This one doesn’t specifically tell the dog what to do – it just signals to her that the activity is over. Use any cue that makes sense to you, such as "All done!" or "That’s all!".

The sooner you "install" an off-switch in your high-energy, activity-persistent dog, the better. Remember, the longer the reinforcement history for persistence, the more persistent she’ll be.

1. Start teaching this behavior by engaging in your dog’s favorite activity – say, fetching a ball.

2. After a reasonable period of fetch time, say "All done!" and put the ball away, out of sight, per-haps in a nearby cupboard.

3. Give your dog a reasonable alternative that she can do by herself, such as emptying a stuffed Kong.


4. Go sit down and occupy yourself with some-thing, such as reading a book, watching TV, or web-surfing.

5. Ignore any attempts on your dog’s behalf to re-engage you, such as going to the cupboard and barking, or bringing you a different toy. Don’t even repeat your off-switch cue, just ignore her.

6. Warn all other nearby humans to similarly ignore her attempts to engage them in activity when she’s been given the "All done" cue.

7. Be prepared to quietly (so as not to get her aroused again) praise her when she finally lies down and starts to chew on the stuffed Kong.

8. Use your off-switch cue every time you end a play session with her favorite activity, and don’t give in if she persists. The more consistent you are, the sooner you will see her resign herself to the fact that the fun really is over when you say it is.

If your dog does not like to fetch a ball, try another similar "get excited and settle" game such as running around together with a stop and settle. Or, play tug-and-drop, or try playing with a flirt pole (a toy on the end of a rope, which is fastened to a pole) to get your dog running, and then in-corporate the stop and settle.

Looking for more ways to teach your high-energy dog to chill out and relax? With Calm Down Rover, you'll have instant access to vital training techniques. We all owe it to our dogs to understand why they act the way they do. Learn more.

I just wanted to share with everyone what I recently I just wanted to share with everyone what I recently learned about Purina specifically the pro plan formula. About three weeks ago I bought a 30 pound bag of savor. I was noticing Moths every time I would open the container of food. I recently found worms, larva and moths in all of the containers. When I contacted PetSmart they said they have been having an issue with all of the Purina food having bugs in them. I also went to Petco to ask if they have been having issues and she said, “yes definitely, it’s been a real big problem”. When I contacted a Purina regarding this issue I was quickly brushed off with an automated response, they were not interested in getting my contact information or trying to fix the problem in anyway other than sending out coupons that I would receive in 10 to 14 weeks for Purina dog food. When I went into Petsmart to pick out a new brand of dog food I wanted to move a bag of the stuff she’s been on to read the ingredients to find something comparable and a month flew right in front of my eyes. The store owner said to look for webbing inside of the bag when you open the bag it is a good indicator that it’s contaminated. 
 I’m not trying to spread any miss information just trying to keep our babies healthy and happy.  learned about Purina specifically the pro plan formula.

Not my experience . Just a heads up .

Milo we miss you . Having a pup remain w us was a great time for us this summer. Even though we didn’t get any beach time we were able to train this fellow a bit. The older dogs actually trained him w their adult behaviors. He ran when they ran sat when they sat ate when they ate and chilled when they chilled.
