| teddy gets to excited I took my 2 yr old Teddy to my aunts house and he played with her dog, well he got so excited the other dog was scared(and hes bigger)had to leave because the other dog was upset. I was wondering if he will ever be calm enough to play with other dogs,because he really loves them just don't know how to calm down

| Hi and Welcome to YT! Maybe with a bit of supervision on your part... stop him for a time out when you see him start to get over the top... teach him 'easy' to suggest to him to calm down. I have a wild girl here that needed that bit of extra encouragement to learn to play nice. It does work, just be consistent...

| Does Teddy know basic commands like sit and stay? You could try engaging both dogs to perform basic tricks for treats. This will help focus and calm Teddy. If both dogs like fetch, you could try playing with both at one time. Giving the dogs something constructive to do should help. Also, you could try walking Teddy before visiting another dog. That would help bring down his energy level.

I do think that they calm down a little more btwn ages 1-3. Not by a huge amount, but by some.

| My niece's dog is OVERLY energetic. She's over a year old but still has the energy of a puppy. She's very friendly and loves everyone (human/canine). Magnus/Zoey doesn't quite appreciate her overly friendliness. My niece tried walking/running to our house hoping she's let out some energy and not get into Magnus/Zoey's face so much. No such luck. In fact, I think that just got her more excited. LOL |

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Here is what I would suggest. Have both dogs on lead when you visit, ie your dog, and your aunt's dog. Then have both of them sit for intro's and take them both on lead out for a walk or in the backyard for a leashed walk around. Try if both are trained for fetch and retrieve to do that separately in the backyard (fenced in). Also be ready when you let them run off lead together to intercede in the play, if one gets too excited - both go on leads till they all calm down. Sometimes what looks like to our human eyes as excited play, is actually aggression of one dog to the other. Always err on the side of caution and safety, believe in that if you feel the play is "too much", that it is, then stop/intercede with the play.
