Do you have a wild and crazy pup so that
you are embarrassed and stressed when Guests come over, cuz your pup
is just so out of control? Oh, Does this look familiar? So
many students have this problem. I recently dealt with a couple that were
so stressed about guests coming into Their house with their puppy
being so overly excited. These simple steps worked for them.
I’m hoping they worked for you too. I’m instructor Carol. This is
Henry. Welcome back to McCann Dogs Here in our training facility, We’ve helped more than a hundred thousand
dog owners to overcome the same dog Training challenges that you have. So if this is your first time on our
channel and you are currently training a Dog, make sure you click that subscribe
button so that we can help you to have a Well-behaved four-legged family member. If I’m gonna bring a young
dog into a group of people, I need to be very aware of their
mindset, their stimulation level. If they’re over threshold,
they have no brain. They’re gonna have a really hard time. I’m not gonna be able
to train through easily. So watch the energy meter
in this, in this video, It’s gonna fluctuate up and down, But notice that I’m never moving to the
next step until that energy’s coming Down a little bit. If Henry’s loose,
people come, he’s running to the door. He’s puppy burning around. He
has excitement levels building, But by now having him in another
room, when my company comes, His excitement level
goes through the roof, But because he’s not greeting
them and he’s not running around, He’s able to settle. So, you know, Early screaming has turned into
just a little cry now and then. He’s really settling. When company
first arrives that doorbell rings, My pops lost his brain.
So if I bring him out now, I’m just setting myself up for failure.
I’m gonna, uh, teach my dog bad habits. And my guests may not be very happy
being jumped on. If they’re young kids, They may be scared by that. So I’m gonna let that energy
die down a little bit.
So you can see Henry is so much calmer
than when that doorbell first rang. Just having us talk in the other
room. He settled right down. Now he’s still excited. Now you
can see some panting going on. He knows there’s different people here.
He’s excited, but he’s got a brain. So I’m just going to, And I might even see if he’ll take a
treat just so he is not barging out of the Crate again. I wanna let him know
the whole idea of this is being calm. Oh good boy. I’m gonna
show him that treat. Oh, You’re being such a good boy and
oh, can you get that one bud there? Okay. Good work now. So he’s
coming out soon as he comes out, He’s pretty energetic. Oh, you just
went back in there. Okay buddy, Henry. And I’m just gonna get him calm. Good
work, bud. I’m gonna get a treat. Oh good boy. And look now he’s getting his
brain again. He’s a little calm. So when we head into the other room
and he actually sees the visitors, He’s gonna be able to
be successful and not go Insane and lose his
mind. With me buddy. Oh, I don’t think we pull to
go see the company though. That’s not the mood we
wanna be in to visit people. So I’m just gonna hold him back
a little bit. Wait till he calms. He’s thinking about the guests. He
knows they’re out there. There he’s. Oh, Not quite. Oh, good boy.
Okay. Oh, not quite buddy. Not quite. So he’s gonna
learn when he’s calm. That’s when we get to move
through. There’s a good boy. Excellent. I’m just gonna move
him back a little bit. Good. Just gonna wait him out. It may take
a little while. If he was too excited, Maybe he needs to go back into his crate
and just come out calmly again. Oh, There we go. We’re
settling. Yes. Good boy. Might even get it a couple
of yes, there we go. There’s the calm dog to
go visit people. Yes. Good boy. Should we make it in the room? But now he’s getting close to
the person. It’s just too much. So now I’m gonna work again. Calm. I need
him. So each step of the way on this, I’m gonna make sure my dog is totally
calm. Oops. You come on over here.
I’m just gonna place a little sit.
Good stuff. I’ve got some treats. They helped me get in the room. And
once he’s sitting and I’m standing tall, It’s way easier for him to
be successful and calm down. So if I was just to let him go visit,
now he’s gonna be too energetic. Oh, That’s so good. So now that he’s calm, I’m still think he’s too energetic to
and not be gonna be successful visiting. So I’m just going to use a
little bit of food. Good boy. And now I’m just gonna come
a little closer and now I’m
gonna take some time and Just let him chill. Anybody. Just let him chill with me on the
couch while I talk to my guest So that he gets over the excitement
of coming in and seeing that person. Now I’ve got little Henry
into the room with my guest. We’re about five feet apart and see
Henry’s energy level’s gone back up. He’s he’s thinking about that person, But he is giving me a little bit
of attention. Oh, there we go. He’s relaxing a little bit. So again, In order to have a successful greeting
and not have my guests all jumped on, I’m setting him up for success.
Not letting him be so high. So just letting him relax. And
again, I can visit for a few minutes. We’ll just let him chill.
Set him up for success. So you can see by not immediately
greeting a person, just taking our time. Henry’s now even lying down. I’m
also employing a couple of treats. His focus is on me. He’s sort of
forgotten about my guest. Now. As soon as I stand up, I’m pretty sure
he’s good excitement. Level’s gonna rise, But not nearly the way it has been
earlier now. So when I stand up, If he goes berserk, I’m just
gonna work through that. I’m not gonna stand up and let him
go launch himself to see my visitor. If he’s still interested in the
treats, once I stand, that’s perfect. But if he’s not, I’m just gonna say
you don’t get to greet that way. So I’m gonna stand up. Hey Henry, are
you ready? I know it’s so fun. Oh, Look at you being so good. Good. So I wanna make sure he is not
launching himself at my visitor. And I’ve asked my guest
to hold a few treats. Just ignore him when he comes in so that
his energy level doesn’t get too high.
She can feed him nice and low. So
he’s not gonna jump. He tries to pull. I’m just gonna, that’s not gonna
work, buddy. Yeah. Good work. Good work. Good. And then I
don’t expect him to be able to, Henry’s really young. I don’t expect him to be able to walk up
to somebody nice and calmly and say hi. So now that he’s calm here and
we’re within about five feet, I’m going to tell him, go say hi, go say
hi. I can use a treat to keep him low. My guest is calm. And now that he’s
doing well, she can talk to him. She could pat him a little bit. We’re
just gonna judge his energy level, Set him up so that he can
greet nice and calmly. So everybody’s happy he gets to visit. He can come out and hang out with
the guests, but nobody’s intimidated. I’m not embarrassed. He’s not nipping
anybody. He’s not jumping over anybody. But now it’s time to make a really
big decision. Henry was a rock star. He was able to greet. He was mannerly.
He didn’t get out of control. My guests are gonna be comfortable. But
now I really need that big decision. He’s only five months. If I give him a little more freedom
now or let him visit longer, Is that energy level
gonna come way back up? Besides one of my guests is a young
child, so that’s gonna add some energy. So I need to say, who are my guests? And
what is my dog capable of? Now, Henry, Even though he greeted nicely
is still not completely settled. It’s still pretty exciting. He’s only
five months. So what do I do now? Do I continue to let him visit? He
might get too excited. So with him, He might just go back into the other
room and get a chance to settle. But you know what? I built great
foundation for future visitors. If your dog can settle a little bit
more and your guests are comfortable, You know, Maybe then it’s time that I could drop
my leash and he could have some freedom In the room and you know,
come and go from guests. So you’re gonna judge your own
dog, set them up for success. So you don’t ruin your training.
I’ll give you a couple of tips, But if you really wanna set
your pup up for success, Burn some energy off before your guests
arrive. If you’ve got a hyper puppy,
Don’t send out your next party
invite till you watch this video. If you want more personalized support
