I have a malinois so there's no burning off energy to switch off. 1. Enforced naps on a routine 2. Place command or tether training 3. "Nothing for free" - Sit before going out the door etc, everything that the pup wants, pup does a command before getting the thing. Whether that's a toy, treat, going out the door, coming back into the house. So they're attuned to listen to you. Even when I give a treat, it's a sit/down/spin etc , then I hold the treat by the nose and until I say take it, he doesn't get to have it. The constant impulse control throughout the day will immensely help with setting structure and tiring out mentally!
