Overexcited, Hyped Up Dogs! Create Calmer Focus (Agility See-Saw Example - Taming The Teeter)

Have you ever seen dogs who get overexcited and hyped up around agility equipment or things they love? We need to create calmer focus so dogs are in the zone for optimal learning. My puppy Prophet was way over the top about the agility see-saw, and to help him I needed to tame the teeter. I’m sharing the steps that I actioned to help him think. Check out our full video for the top tips on counter conditioning help for frenzied or fearful dogs at    • Training Thresholds: A Strategy For B...   You have to start working on creating a different CER. What would you like to see? I'm going to give you an example. I started playing seesaw games with my puppy Prophet. He's eight and a half months. I started it when he was seven months. After three sessions, I noticed he was getting super excited by it. And I thought, you know what, he's only seven months. There's no rush on this. I normally don't introduce like a full seesaw until much, much later. And so, I put it on the shelf for six weeks. Just this week, I decided to bring it out again to see maybe he's more mature. He's a little more grown up. He's going to be a little calmer with this. Oh, was I wrong. He went from zero to crazy town immediately at me touching the seesaw. Now, this could be because there are other dogs in my house that get a little excited when we even say the word ‘seesaw.’ I don't know why. All I can do is describe what I've got and what I don't want. And so, instead of going and playing more seesaw games, this is what I did. I put him in the Hot Zone in the building. I got out a bowl of cooked chicken gizzards, super high value for my dogs. And I got his raw food and two small empty bowls. I put a little spoon of raw food in the bowl, and I waited. And Kim went out and started playing seesaw games with her dog Belief. What I did is before they got near the seesaw, I gave him a little bowl of food. And as he was eating that, I gave him another one. As he was eating that, Kim did a game with Belief on the seesaw. Now he started vocalizing as he was eating, but I just gave him a new bowl of food. And very quickly, I would say after five repetitions, he calmed down a lot and just was eating the food. “Alright, we're good.” Now, after doing that for, I don't know, maybe two minutes, I was at a point where I waited until Kim cued the game and then I gave the food. No vocalization, just waiting for the anticipation of new food. And then when I got to the point where the seesaw hit and he didn't make any noise and his body didn't get tense and he didn't get these piercing eyes bugging out of his head towards the seesaw, he was just calm and looking at me. I gave him food plus the chicken gizzards. So, by the end, I had a puppy who I could walk around the seesaw. Honestly, I couldn't even do that the day before. If I walked near the seesaw, he broke ranks, broke out of Reinforcement Zone, and threw himself on the seesaw, pounding it with his front feet. He was just obsessed with it. And so, I have no intention of training that obstacle. I don't want a dog who's that crazy. It's just not safe. And so, I will take the time and see, how can I get calm with him just laying on a bed? And very soon, maybe I can get calm with him walking around while other dogs are doing it. It is a long game. So, your plan has got to involve a lot of counter conditioning to the stimulus that is creating crazy town or creating the fear. And if in either case you need to stay further away, I can't get very close to the seesaw just yet, and that's okay. I'm playing the long game. With the objective of decreasing the conditioned emotional response to the threshold today while I'm increasing a new more desirable behavior aka calm and focused and thoughtful behavior into the future.
