Wow. I am surprised at how much my Pyrenees puppy has been improving with his behavior after I have been watching your videos. So helpful and inspiring😊 Love ya!

[@Krissykris1468]

That's amazing to hear, I'm so glad they're helping you! Pyrenees are one of my favourite breeds 😍🐶🐾

[@jordangorwood6201]

My pyrenese didnt have to be taught anything except to stop guarding food as much. My golden is out of control

[@amfreiman]

I have a very excitable 2.5yo border collie that I totally need this for! Thank you so much for this! We'll start practicing this right away.

[@NotCreativeEnough3]

I love how Luna is jumping around with her frisbee, just having a good time on her own :) And I love your videos, this is a very helpful and pleasant to watch a channel!

[@analarson2920]

That is a great and simple idea, it is so simple to do almost anywhere and even in a small area and your dog just has a blast and we get a work out too but it is controlled, love it! Tx, keep sharing, blessings!

[@WizardTom2]

Brilliant. My dog will love this game. Thank you so much.

[@GermanShepherdDaphne]

Thank you, I'm going to try this asap!!

[@definitelynotashark1799]

this seems super helpful. we have a 4month old puppy (Duck Toller/border collie) and she gets really hyped (growling and jumping/snapping) when playing with the older family dog. since she's a puppy, the dog won't actually do anything when pup gets on her nerves, but I'm slightly worried how it will be when she's old enough to be set in place %) we separate them then, but we weren't sure how to proceed from there. she's very good at calming down generally, apart from playing. so I'll definitely start doing this with her.

[@kkvikki]

This is really helpful, thanks! :)

Hi Kristin. Love your dog training videos.I think I've used treats too much when training and playing with my dog Jojo a border collie/ Australian shepherd mix. As soon as he knows the treats are gone he becomes less than enthusiastic about training and or playing. Although regularly he does get playful without treats, like he'll initiate ball play outside, or playing tug, wanting me to chase or throw the ball. but it seems its not sustained for long periods like it used to be when we first rescued him and brought him home. We've had him now for 2 years and he's an absolute joy and we love him. He's quite a character. Should I slowly hold back and go longer between treats? Will that work?

[@Zipo214]

I just adopted a 1.5 year old Austrailian shepherd and this is exactly what he needs. I use other self control training but we are still working on the energy control after coming in for the day

[@ellebee8536]

+Kristin Crestejo Thank you for this video. I have only just discovered your channel and I like your down to earth informative videos. I have a 6 month old high energy puppy who is always overexcited/overenthusiastic when meeting other dogs. Do you think this will help under those circumstances?

[@svinskii]

Hey Kristin, I have a nasty issue with a 9wk old border collie puppy, I took him at only 30 days old (long story) so he didnt learn the whole dont-bite-so-you-dont-get-bitten idea from his litter and now all he wants to do is bite me all the time and its impossible to get his attention for more than a few seconds without treats (and even then I find it extremely hard to train him as he dives right for my hand when I use it to lure him for example). Any idea? Your videos are amazing, thank you for making them.

[@grannygear1001]

great video, thanks! I own oppsss, I am owneA month ago, I rescued two more dogs (one a SibeXShephard of 4 months, and one a Sibe that is 8 months) under one recently-exhausting. What helps when they get reeved-up is to have a word for calm down; I use “chill pill” then when they relax hearing my “I mean what I say voice” I give them a happy “good dog” voice. Also working on the youngest to look at me. What was I thinking to rescue two? 🤷🏻‍♀️ lol. JoDe & 4 dogs

[@jeanicegraves9322]

I like your barn boots. I'm hearing I need to remain consistent with my dog, and with some more practice I'll see continued improvement. I've seen some, but I have trained never trained my dog's. They trained me. Lulu is my first just my dog, or rather, I am her sole person, I just would love to see her be a bit calmer overall. We'll keep at it. I like your video because you don't dominate your friend, you simply work with the dogs natural more desirable instincts, while phasing out those you don't want as much. I don't have the heart to break her spirit the way some trainers do. Where the dogs spend their whole existence only following commands. No dogly goofing off at all. I'm just trying to get her to be cool in a crowd. She helps me remember my medicine when I start to go whonky, and I could have her certified which is our goal. She's a great friend and I'm glad she rescued me.

Having dotters & grand dotters coming out my ears, i’m all about women being out front in their fields. I like ceasar a lot, but u are a breath of fresh air. Thank u for ur vids. 🦖 🤙

[@wibblewobble489]

Do you say stop and sit for the first time to show them what you want? My silky terrier would instantly understand what i want from her but my younger puppy would probably just think i wanted a "touch" or a high 5 and would likely jump up to touch my hand and then continue the game... Should i start her off by giving her the command of stop or calm or something like that paired with a command that i know she knows like sit? Then once she's got it don't say stop/calm or sit? Also, would this be a useful trick to use when my dogs go off their nuts barking at a leaf blowing outside ? lol to teach them to be calm and quiet? or is this intended to be used just more as a game? Thanks! can't wait to try it.

[@christinesands6684]

so... what do you do if she doesn't stop... I know they shouldn't get too excited but my staffie gets there VERY quickly and starts to see things like this as a game, part of the correction is a game for her. thanks.

[@TatianaBazan]

Thank you i have a border collie 4 months puppir and she is very overly exited but intelligent so she will learn this fast :)

[@staydown4bo]

is he a flat coat ? my girl is and she is BIG for a female so i really need to work on getting her excitement under control, she has the perfect athletic build but is pushing 70 pounds. mustve been one of the bigger puppies of her litter

[@GrumpyGrimo]

And how to do this with puppy ?

[@thedoggiedojo]

Such a good game to play with your dog! Thank you for the great tip!

[@Katewriter]

I don’t understand! How are you getting the dog to calm down with your hand?

[@animalcrazy2446]

Hi Kristin, I have a 9 month old border collie puppy she's the best dog I've ever had but there's one problem I take her out every day on a walk or two and let her run and play on the beach etc. But when she comes home and its time to chill and relax in the evening you can see her getting really anxious and restless I'm not sure why we have another two dogs (two jack russels) and their fine just sleeping usually but you can see in her face that she wants to sleep because she's very tired but its like she's constantly on alert and cant lie down and shut her eyes and if I stay up late some nights she cant handle it so she tries to get as close to me as he can (usually half on my lap on the sofa) and crashes and as soon is I make the slightest movement she wakes up and is on alert again. do you know anything that I can do to help her chill out in the evenings I was thinking of getting her a dog bed in the living room to herself so she knows that's her place that's safe I wasn't sure if that would help though. do you have any other suggestions ???

[@Krissykris1468]

are you working her? using her mind for at least 2 hours of the day? BC's need mental exercise much more than physical.

[@sashalouise92]

Great video, how would you introduce this between dogs who become over aroused when playing together? I have one in particular in mind who becomes so over aroused he looses control and as he is so large could accidentally hurt someone or another dog? He is very sociable and loves playing but lacks self control once he becomes so over aroused.

[@Krissykris1468]

this is how you would start. Then once the dog is showing good self control, put a leash on him, allow them to play while holding the leash slack and 'up' so they can't get tangled (if they're rompers). once he starts getting out of control and the other dog is trying to leave, pull him away, calm him down, eye contact and try again if the other dog is for it.

[@sashalouise92]

+Kristin Crestejo (Modern Canine Training) just spotted your reply 😊 yay. Will definitely give it a shot, he isn't a dog I generally play rough with or use toys etc but I will try this technique over the next few week. Thanks for replying x

[@Hayu579]

And that one dog was like "NOTICE ME SENPAI! NOTICE ME"

[@morganmae8595]

Hi Kristin! I am currently a college student who is in her final semester of college to earn a basic associates degree. I've always loved dogs even though my house was always pet free when I was a kid, I would still pretend to train all of my friends dog when I spent time at their house! After i got my first dog last year, as a puppy, and enjoying training him so much, I have decided that I want to become a dog trainer! How did you get certified as a trainer, and what are the best ways to become a trainer?

[@Krissykris1468]

+Morgan Sutterfield Companion Animal Science Institute which is directed by Dr. James O'Heare would be a wonderful route to start :D

[@morganmae8595]

Kristin Crestejo thank you so much! :)

[@LaurenMillerZoePhee]

This is awesome! Luna is so cute! She's like, I want to play, too! :D Good job, Mookie!

[@Krissykris1468]

she was so tired and she still couldn't help herself to more training!

[@yesyes5318]

I need help. My dog goes INSANE around other dogs. When there are no dogs around she is perfect, even in high distraction areas but as soon as a dog shows up everything she knows goes flying out the door. She heels, sits, lays, stays, and even some tricks PERFECTLY, but nothing but sit is known if a dog is around. I am returning from a park excursion, I brought her e collar because that at least keeps her heeling and not dragging me around but once we got there I realized it was dead. So we attempted anyways! We always take a lap around the park before entering the dog park to hopefully get rid of that excitement but I turned around and got back in the car after 2 minutes today. It was MISERABLE. I need help.

[@mirthepeeters65]

I have the same issue with my golden. She just wants to go greet every dog she sees. So she pulls like crazy. She s not agressive towards them but she just wants to get close to them asap. I have no idea how to correct this. Any suggestions are welcome..

[@jadrasibenik9063]

My dog is growling when exited. When playing with me, my kids and other dogs. I don't like it. Can I stop it this way? Or do I stop playing completly?

[@Krissykris1468]

+Jadra Sibenik Hmm, this game wouldn't be helpful in your situation. Is the growl making the dog more intense with his or her physical behaviours? Growling while playing CAN be very normal, both of my dogs do it and it doesn't affect them negatively, it's just loud sometimes. If you really don't like it, just stop playing as soon as the dog growls, the growl will no longer be reinforced. However, there are some dogs that are vocal and will always be vocal.

[@jadrasibenik9063]

It makes her more intense. But as soon as I say enough, she stops. And when we start playing again, growling starts also. But what you are saying is that she is just vocal. She never turned agressive while playing. Exept to female dogs. But then I can hear difference in her growl and body position. Thank you so much on your answer!

[@ashlynngonzalez1064]

thank you I have a Brittany spaniel and she is the most hyper dog I have ever owned even more hyper than most spaniels and we let her run around daily on our 4 acres. when she was a puppy the trainer told us to get there 30 min early for her to run through the agility course and get tired before class. we will do anything to calm her down . we thought she would calm down after she got older but she is now 3 years old. She is not yet spayed but we hope to soon. we still love her to death.

[@watchmoivies123]

Love this but I think the dog in the back ground is who you should have used.. No?

[@Krissykris1468]

Why? she's stopping at the same time. She's playing along.

[@audreyjavan2384]

first like first comment

[@crayons1584]

I can't do that... my dog would lunge at my hand

[@kernow22]

mine too

[@squeezer5770]

And of corse, if you have a powerful breed you want to do this before they are old enough to bite your face off. It would be really stupid to do this with some dogs.

[@seanmaher2987]

Wow - it instantly works on an already trained dog. Thanks for nothing.
