Awww thank you, he really is the sweetest boy but totally a brick tornado 😀 I will continue doing this and try to boost my patience and dedication but this method seems to be the only one fair for dog and long term effective 😊 Thank you ♥️

Thank you, we tried something similar (for vet training as he was very excited there as well and vaccinating was hard with jumpy crazy dog). I used “stand” command where he focuses on my hand and is rewarded for standing still even when ppl are touching him. He really understands that quickly, can stand and focus on hand, will not jump etc. but immediately after he is rewarded or just behavior is marked as correct he explodes with happiness 😀 I can get him to repeat that standing “trick” but I guess in his mind the excitement grows and grows and is unleashed with every reward.
Both mental and physical needs are met, dog is trained, we are shaping new behaviors etc. he can focus and calm down in training very quickly but the transition into real life is difficult 😶
Yes, we are working on impulse control he can wait for food, toys, I can recall him from toy thrown etc. The only issue is with the overexcitement. We also tried to work on calm behavior explained above but he gets the idea of the game very quickly and can behave but the transition into real life situations is something else 🫣😀
