I think these are all great training rules to follow except that the ignoring rule would not always work with my Border Jack. She loves jumping on counters to grab things, food, books, mail, anything. If I were to ignore her, she will just eat or tear up whatever she grabbed. She knows the word drop it but does not always follow through. She’s a determined one. Trained but very determined to have her way from time to time. Any suggestions?

After reading this, I realized I need to do a lot better with not showing our new puppy my frustration. It is so hard because he doesn't realize how big he is, even as a puppy. We struggled with potty training and with him chewing on shoes, but I think we've finally got that under control. After some new shoes and a good carpet cleaning, we're still working on calming him down when he's around other people and dogs. I get frustrated pretty easily and I've never thought about keeping that from him, but thinking about it now, it definitely increases his excitability. Thank you for these tips!

This is a difficult one for my dog, Henry, and me. We’ve been working on it for a few years. He does really well until he sees someone or something he thinks might play with him. Then he starts to bark. I’ve gotten him to the point where he’ll sit. But he whines while he sits. However, it’s a huge improvement. The funny part is he’s not overly zealous to meet whatever. He just doesn’t want them to passby without seeing or playing with him. I’ll try to focus on not just having him sit but refocus on something else, probably a treat. He doesn’t play with toys. Thanks for these tips.

I’m passing them on to my dog friends.

These are great tips! We find that ignoring our high-energy dog works best to get her to calm down as well. Most of the time, we also need to tell the other people around us to ignore her because our dog feeds off their high-energy!

Generally you can teach tricks to both puppies and older dogs. However, never teach anything that is dangerous especially for puppies. You might want to read this article for some trick suggestions for your puppy. http://www.puppyschool.co.uk/tricks-to-teach-your-puppy
