Teach Your Puppy To Calm Down With This 7 Minute Exercise
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2020
- One of the biggest struggles you may face with your puppy training is trying to teach your puppy to calm down when you need them to. Puppies can have SO much energy and while it's really important that we make the most of that time, working on skills where they can focus that energy, there will be times that you will want them to just pick a spot nearby and hang out quietly. In this video, Instructor Carol will show you how you can "jackpot" reward your puppy so they feel rewarded when they CHOOSE to calm down.

That's nice. If only my dog does not destroy his bed. 🙄

EXACTLY!! I do too! And I appreciate seeing the trainer and or puppy make mistakes so that I can know that my mistakes or my puppy's mistakes is okay too. It keeps me from getting discouraged and in the process we make great progress and I'm learning so much!
How to correct a deaf puppy???
My dog is a boxer and she is a pitbull what do I do when she doesn't calm down
Finally a video with an untrained dog I learn better seeing the actual process.
@@JosePalacio12 it's only to show you how to...
Thank you for your time and effort.
Exactly😂😂
Agreed!!
I know! Me too
My border collie puppy taught me that I am not as patient a person as I had originally thought. You are so calm and soothing I am trying my best to emulate that!
Keep it up and you'll have a great life companion in no time. Collies are hands down the best dogs on the planet. (Close competition)
HAHA SAME! Honestly this Dog taught me so much about my self i was wrong about
Dogs can read vibe and want to be like you… If you’re calm and they’re not then either you must get angry or they must be calm. Remove the first choice and theyll come around
Dude seriously lol
I LOVE this trainer! I love seeing the puppy's transformation step by step in pretty much real time!!! I've learned so much from this short video! Thanks!!
So glad you found the video informative, Caroline! Happy Training! ~Ken
Caroline thanks Caroline! Glad this works for you and thanks for the great feedback!
Carol
I think carols a fantastic trainer
I tried the 1st method today and I repeated it 3 times; I really found my soon-to-be 4 month puppy calming down! Thanks!
Her little face when Carol suggests she might go off and self-reward with the food. “I would never, Carol. How dare you.” 😂😂
We taught our dog to lay on a mat as well and did so very early on (maybe 4-5 months old or so?). Something else we started doing about a month or 2 ago (dog is now 1.25 yrs old) is reinforcing natural settles by just waiting for moments where she lays down (can be anywhere, floor, couch, w/e) we just walk up, place a treat in front of them and walk away. No clicker, no marker outside of an occasional calm "good girl", just place it in front of them.
Been working wonders at encouraging our energetic havanese to choose to calm down when she's tired as opposed to getting tired and subsequently getting fussy like a toddler that needs a nap.
Thanks, I'm going to try this too!
That’s called “capturing” and its great
@@jackbauer789 my guy all he’s doing is saying what he did with his own pup lol. Calm down
@@jackbauer789 who hurt you?
I used this technique to train the "Get on Your Bed" command. It worked awesome!! The only trouble I had was petting my pup after she was on the bed, she bites & nips. We have to do the hold on the collar & treat exercise & the Settle Position A LOT, like constantly.
I really love all the Trainers McCann has in the videos, it gives different personalities, ages of trainers & different settings.
I truly appreciate the work, time, the creativity, and money that goes into providing these helpful videos as well.
In 3 days I taught my 8 week old Shepard/pitbull mix to overcome his separation anxiety and enjoy resting in his crate. Now I need to manage his energy during the day. This video looks incredibly helpful. Thanks!
Please share how
Get a kong chew toy. Loads of big walks too
I keep doing this with my pup when we’re in the room and I’m doing it with her crate. It really gets her mind off whatever anxiety she has and makes her focus like ohh I’m supposed to relax now.
I have a black lab collie puppy and let me tell you by the end of this video he actually laid down on his own and took a nap. THANK YOU!! before everyone just said make sure he has lots of activities. When he runs our 5 acres at least 3 to 4 times a day and is still jumping all over the place inside.
Thank you for actually helping!!
I am literally sitting here in TEXAS (not 2 10/4) with my 11 week old BC named JACKPOT!!! I live on a busy street, and my next step is to look for your videos on traffic training. Thank you for your work!
Im gonna do this to my 3 year old and see if it works! 🤩 We adopted him almost a year ago
I burst out laughing at 0.40 in - lol that hyperactivity brought back memories!
You’re guys are amazing!
My 10 week old puppy has the zoomies hard!! It’s impossible to calm her down and is easy to get frustrated with her…I will try this method today but using her crate to build up her safe zone trust with it. Thankyou for the clear instructions.
You guys are so awesome!!!! I've learned so much!!!
Thank you! it's been 2days and my dog has improved a lot !
Excellent! Thank you❤
Love how you work Carol. Just great to watch
Thank you for your hard work this help A LOT
Lovely awesome training here! 😊 Thank you for such a great demo!!
This is perfect for our guide dog puppies in training since they have to learn, "Place" command. This was so well done. Broken down beautifully. Guide dogs need to know this command hands down. Thanks! 👍👍
yes! all service dogs should know how to place and settle!
Great video, thank you for this.
Just got my puppy a new bed and he is chewing it instead of lying on it. I think this approach would also help him realise what it is for. Thank you so much!
Y’all are cool. Thanks for all the hard work producing these
Thx you so much!!!! Love you guys
This is such a good video! Very informative and simple trick! Thank you McCann Dog Training! ♡
Love ur video..my puppy does this...his got so much energy..so much I could learn...thank u
Another calm puppy resting in it's bed in Serbia. Thank you so much, I'm bingewatching your channel. So much valuable information, it helps me SO much. Thank You
love this trainer! she's great and we want to listen to her when she talk ... get her to do more for us! =)
what a great training exercise! :D thank you for sharing.
Thank you! I really need this for my miniature american shepherd puppy ❤️🐾
Thanks for your video 🙏
Wow! This is interesting, thank you for posting this video.
It is indeed one of the biggest struggles on how to make your little puppy calm down.
This is such a helpful video for a first-time puppy owner like me. The step-by-step instructions and real-time demos are so useful!
I love this. Thanks a million. Just tried it for the first time with my 11 month old giant schnoodle who was running rampant this morning. Took a few minutes and now he won't come out his crate even for his favourite toy. I love that it's his choice and no luring is involved. Brilliant !! This will help hopefully when he goes to the horses with me, also, once he is vaccinated.
Thanks dor showing it on an untrained puppy. Best way to learn and see what is a normal progression.
We have recently got a collie, previously we had a very relaxed lab. He litrally never relaxed (other than in sun), tried a few methods, none worked until this! Thank you so much!
Ms. Lawrence is a wonderful teacher. Thanks!
I was skeptical that this would work but it did! My pup is self calming now in his bed. Thank you!
Excellent
I love this video so much, thanks for using a pup that is in that "I've lost my mind!" state of energy!
Thank you for that valuable lesson!
I'm going to teach my dog to be calm!
Have a great day!
Did you have any luck??? It's 10pm and I'm about to try this advice lol
@@sararichardson5545 I'm sorry for being slow with responding!
Well... We're still working on it. 😊
My advice - try to conduct several short sessions a day everyday rather than 1 hour long training 1 time a week.
Spaced repetition is a way better solution, at least for my dog and me.
Fingers crossed for your success! :)
Thank you, I love seeing video with other hyper Border Collie puppies because thats what we have. We haven't had a puppy in 6 years, and its a bit overwhelming. But your video have really helped!!
I’ve had them constantly since in Jr High in 1980 except for a few short years in the Army and they definitely have energy. My wife and I thought it would be good to have two puppies at the same time that could help keep each other entertained, so we have two 11 month olds born a day apart, my Border Collie and her Great Dane, but it’s more like the velociraptors scenes in Jurassic Park. They’re an adventure that force us to stay a little younger than we might be otherwise. And oh what an adventure! LOL!
That is one excited puppy!!
Thank you for this video! I'm guessing you also use a crate? So do you have to teach lying on a bed and going/staying in a crate separately or can they be linked somehow?
Those border collies are sooooooo smart!
We need more videos! 😆 I love this border collie puppy progress. Keep it up.
Hi there, The Island Engineer! I’m glad you’re enjoying our videos. We have quite a few things we are working on, so you can look forward to lots more content! Thanks for watching ~Ken
Extremely helpful vid
I have a new 9 week old Aussie pup, and this is very helpful. I've been working a lot with her, and she's doing great.
Yay! More treats. Yay! More treats. Yay! More treats. Yay! More treats. Yay! More treats. Yay! More treats. Yay! More treats. Yay! More treats. Yay! More treats. Yay! More treats.
Loving this. Santa brought a little female border collie for my boys. Smart smart dogs and I'm glad we have these videos.
Once you’ve had one, that’s it. I saved for and bought my first Border Collie when in Junior High in 1980 and have had one or more ever since except my few short years in the Army. Currently have an 11 month old, my first smooth coat Border Collie. He’s beautiful and hope we have a little less shedding to keep up with. We’ll see, but he’s definitely another smart sweetie!
Love this, and thanks. We’re going thru this right now with a 12 week Boston. He’s so wired. ☦️👩🏻🦳🇺🇸‼️
Man it worked I cant believe this thank you verymuch♥♥
This is great! I have a 9 year old Border Collie that has separation anxiety. I will utilize this tool to help calm her down in my home office. This is great! Thank you!
I’m crying, this is so cute.
Ty so much
Thank YOU!
Happy Training!

I wish i saw this video when i first got my puppy over a year ago😭😭my dog was just having a crazy hyper episode and i did this and hes sooooo calm in his crate now, thank you :)
Best trainer ever! These tips actually work on my Mini Aussie.
I agree. Carol is great at explaining to her audience and using her voice as well as the treats to reward or no reward the pup.
This is the best calming instruction I’ve seen so far! Worked really well with my 10 weeks old Hovawart.
My dog just turned 9 weeks and he’s a good boy he just can be hyper sometimes and nips. I’m trying to do better in his schedule. This video is really insightful
Thanks!
Thanks for the Super Thanks!
This video is a game changer!! My puppy finally doesn’t freak out when guest or anyone new comes over. Wish I had found this sooner!
Glad you found it so helpful, Laura! Happy Training!
Wow, a video that actually shows a untrained dog and actually shows you what you can do, mad respect for all of y'all!
Thank you! Gonna try this with my 6 month old. I adopted her at 4 months and she's just so hyper lol
Thank you so much! Keep the border collie videos coming!
Glad you’re enjoying our videos, Emily! Thanks for watching ~Ken
We just adopted a special needs Border Collie mix puppy. When she was about three months, her previous owners accidentally ran over her, and broke her pelvis and shattered her femur.
She’s currently almost 7-months-old, and she seems super smart! Do you have any suggestions for building strength in her legs and core? She seems to want to do all the tricks the other dog is able to do, but because of her bad leg, she doesn’t have the strength or confidence to do them, yet.
Just as with special needs humans, build a foundation upon her strengths, not her weaknesses. What can she do well? Reward it if she does it. Can she sit? If so, sitting and getting up both, can be rewarded with a treat. My old Aussie had bad hips, but we would exercise those hips with her sitting for a treat and then getting up to take the treat. We would do about 5 reps of these three times a day. Walking is a great way to build strength in the legs and core. We would massage her hips and legs. She may only want to walk at her own pace and take frequent breaks at first but work with it. Reward her for what she can do. She will build strength to do more as time goes on. Challenge her (within reason and don't push too hard) to do more. Don't treat her like a cripple but do respect her limitations. Dogs with disabilities can do amazing things and do want to please their people. Love her, treat her like a dog (be her leader), have great expectations of her, do not punish her for what she cannot do, and you might be surprised what she will do in the future.
Great advice again guys ! This is one of those essential "life skills" I teach every client. I add a cue - "easy" and proof it like any other training exercise. Having the ability to ask for relaxation on cue is a game changer for most owners. Some dogs need lots of massage and other relaxation techniques before they can access true relaxation - just like teaching anything new, it takes patience and practice to get good at it.
Handling is such an important part of that, Tesla Nick! It’s so nice to have a dog that is comfortable with someone having their hands on them. There will be so many times that they will need to be handled (by a vet, groomer, nail trimming etc.) over their lives. Making that a less stressful experience and teaching them relax is quite helpful. Thanks for watching ~Ken
I have an assistance dog that comes to school with me so she has to settle for multiple hours a day (she gets a run round outside aswell at least one a day sometimes twice just to relax a bit) but because of covid we’ve not been at school so she’s not been having to settle as much so we’re going to do some things like this with her to work on her settle and start acting as if it was a school day so I lay out my clothes she gets then for me in the morning then she gets her gear on and I put her in the car for a little bit then get her out and go back in the house and get her to settle at the table so she’s ready for when we go back to school
Hi!
First, let me say I love your channel, Subscribed, hit the bell, etc.
So I have a Real Challenge.
Sooo... my puppy had feeding/stomach issues from 8 weeks. He was a wriggling ball of baby fluff on top, skin and bones on bottom.
If I offered treats For Anything, they caused Intense stomach upset/vomiting. Regardless of the Kind of treats used. He Flat Out Refused All Kibble. Refused to eat more than once a day from the word Go.
The Only 2 times in the past 2 years that he actually kinda wanted it, was because another dog was there. And after 30 seconds of novelty, he'd walk away from the treat and let the other dog eat it. The next time I tried immediately afterward, he blew it off all together.
The vet said to forget about treats... and concentrate on just finding a food he could digest, AND would eat. Even if it was only once a day.
I'd Love to see you do this with a puppy Without Any Food rewards. No One Seems To Do Training Without Food Ever being in the picture.
When I used play he ignored the toy (never been a fan, could care less), and praise, with Exuberant "Jackpot Treats" type praise just wound him up (like Intense play and tickling a child Right before bed time).
The Second I jackpot treated with affection he completely lost it and would run off.
We just Couldn't get him to eat OR Play And affection/praise? Yeah, that didn't work either.
His body rejected Every food we tried and he stayed Painfully Skinny. He woul eat Just Enough to stay alive.
He also vomited Every Day. Our Vet diagnosed him with GI Reflux (GERD).
So, here's My question. If food and play don't Work for your dog, ALL you have left is praise.
And I have yet to see how to "Jackpot" with praise Without re-energizing and winding the puppy up works.
Even here, on this channel it's like... oh, your dog Flat Out Refuses treats? Well give him treats then change his reward system. 😳 (did I mention treats and play weren't working?).
It sets him up to fail, and get Very confused.
All the UA-cam trainers and professionals are like... treats, treats, treats... clicker treat, clicker treat... play, play, play.
Ugh!
Uh, yeah. Umm... my dog Doesn't DO Any of that. It's Frustrating, and our training has slowed to a crawl.
He's 2 years old now, and WAY Behind other 2 year old dogs in training and maturity. Other "professional trainers" are baffled.
Any suggestions? Because after 2 Years of this I am Beyond frustrated.
Looks like a great lesson. Maybe I should've known this when my BC was a puppy. Maybe I would avoid her broken herding behaviour then. My dog is crazy about other pet's and human's cooperation. Im working on this problem but its hard to keep her interest 100% of time when there's another couple (human and pet) close to her. But how could I know. I hope I'll make less mistakes with the next BC when I decide to get one more.
This is the best settle mat training I’ve ever seen, so helpful thanks for making this
This is a perfect video it’s an untrained dog and it’s around the age of my pup
Pawesome advice, a great way to show teh process of training dogs! love it!
Ive had dogs and looked up videos but this company is insanely good at instructing and they aren’t annoying. A lot of dog trainers are annoying. They are nice people but they are obnoxious to watch. Maybe it’s just me though.
How many treats are too many?
Will definitely give this a go.
I’m picking up my new puppy in under a month and this was really helpful! Even though, from pictures and videos - as well as being theirs personally - the puppy I’m getting seems to be much more relaxed in comparison to his siblings😁 but this is REALLY helpful as it’s training from scratch and not from a puppy who already gets the gist 😄
I got the most mellow one of the litter (just sat at door waiting for mom while others dug around and ceied) but at home he is still just like this puppy.
I was wrong😂 he is the happiest, most playful and lively boy I’ve ever had🥰 couldn’t have imagined a better family member - he is 1yr and 5 months old and still as lovely as the first day I met and held him❤️
Love this! So clear to understand. Question what training treats are used? Just wondering. Thanks!
I use kibble. I think the trainer actually references kibble. They are small, tasty and smell strongly. I’ve had success with kibble only so far.
I gotta say guys. I am impressed. Started this training with our bullmastiff puppy, and the results were pretty damn good. And pretty quick. Most things take her longer to learn and I chalked it up to being a stubborn Bullmastiff but she took to this excercise right away. Thanks for a great video
Thanks!! My dad said he is going to give my puppy away if she won’t be calm. This just saved here thabks somuch ❤️❤️
This is good! Could you do a follow-up one to train a puppy not to chew on their bed? I had a dog that I could literally not give a dog bed without her shredding it if I wasn't watching. She had plenty of chew toys, and yet destroyed a really nice bed I gave her. I want to be able to trust my next dog not to tear up its bed if there is a training method for that.
This is great! What do you do if your puppy starts barking for treats while on the mat?
what are the treats you are using? thank you so much, your videos are so informative.
would love to see a "day in the life" type vlog. so multi dog homes can see how to feed, and how to fill their day, play with them and when to not play, etc. we are from Burlington so you guys may be hearing from us for classes!! do you offer private or in home lessons?
my BC is able to calm down with direction and redirection except 1st thing in the morning after she comes in. After all night in the crate she really can not contain her excitement . The redirect of ( after giving her my compete action for a couple minutes) of holding her favorite toy while she chews it for a minute then I can get her to lay down and let me have my coffee. I think we need to look at context , age etc. for example I do not let people who reward ( unintentionally or otherwise) my young BC jumping or mouthing, I put her up or out, its not her fault when she's rewarded. She's very well mannered now with people who cooperate with ignoring unwanted behavior.
Thanks for the tips
I have a 4 month old English/American Bulldog mix named Bo
he is a great dog but does go a little crazy once in awhile
i will be trying these tips today for sure

LOVE this video, thank you! What treats are you using? We have a new border collie pup who doesn't really care about food so much.
Sweet! i got 3 of them border collies who are exactly like that!
I love all these videos and they’ve been so much help. Can anyone recommend me a video for my 8 week old puppies biting? I know it’s normal since he’s teething & I’ve tried redirecting with chew toys but he’ll lose interest in the toy and go for the hand that’s offering the toy. He’s also pretty rough with kids. He’ll growl and bite pretty hard. Thank you!
Sophie, they also have a video that helps with biting dogs. Should be easy to find
Thanks for the video! I’m trying to get my 13 week Australian shepherd pup to settle down outside of his cage. The cage calms him right down, but I don’t want him to view the cage as a punishment for getting too wild. He needs to eventually learn to be calm in the house. I was told to get him really tired before training, but I can play all day with him and he won’t even want to lay down lol. Hopefully this will help him realize that life isn’t always hoopty!
Cut up string cheese sticks works AMAZING In training my 4 month old Airedale
I just watched your video on the 3 kinds of barkers. My American Eskimo dog is 9 1/2 yrs old and seems to be all three of them. Will this method and the calming method still work for him? Trust me, we both have anxiety from his extreme barking and my yelling, and it scares the heck out of our cat. I like how you explain everything. If you have any videos training older dogs, please let me know. Thank you. Lynn
Can this be used for crates too? Also do you do agility too?? That’s so cool!!
I really the teaching format that this team employs in your videos. Thanks for supplying this content. Very informative.
I have a 15 weeks old Chow that goes from sweet little loving angel to a monster with attack mode within a minute or 2 after morning greeting. We had a trainer over when she was 8 weeks and still having issue with her. I had 2 male Chows before and both were nothing like her. I don't know if this is a female thing, puppies crazies, or her personality/aggression. She bites and get into everything when she is in that mode.
Great video, thank you so much for that information! We have a 15 week old border collie puppy and she loves chasing and biting our heels or legs!Could you please do a video with your border collie puppy how to approach that?! Keep up the great work! Greetings from Austria
That's normal and natural border collie behavior. You don't want to discourage it. Instead, try to refocus that energy on a toy or game. They need their brains worked as much as their bodies.
@@katiebrisse8506 hi Katie, thank you for your reply, I appreciate it! Yeah, I know it's typical border collie behavior and redirection is a great idea and I've been doing that. It's funny how much I've grown as a puppy owner in a couple of weeks. When I posted this I had her just a couple of weeks and was kind of overwhelmed but now we are a pretty good team. The issue back then was that I did way to much with her and she was overwrought and couldn't get rest.
@@gregorstr8393 yes, they can get over-stimulated. So long as they are getting enough exercise, training, and play time, a little time out can help them calm down.
@@NLR759 thx 😊. She is now two and a half year old and the most chilled border I know. She stopped the behavior when she was 6 month old after the change of teeth 😊
God bless….
Trying this with a 1 year and 4 months Maltese dog! Might be a mix surprised with how much it’s growing have someone coming over trying to train her well
Edit: thanks it calmed her down I hope it lasts long!!
I love how Carol modulates the pitch of her voice to convey happy rewarding sounds or sorry, no reward, Oh Dears.
Modulates? What are you a bot?
Our New Puppy Is Wild As Well
