I could be way off here but I think what you are describing as hyperventilating is actually either a backwards sneeze or a tracheal problem. Mine do the backwards sneeze often when they get over excited & I noticed if I tell them NO in a stern voice they can control it & stop it as the NO stops the excitement & calms them down so the sneeze stops.
Have you had them checked by your vet for a trach problem ?
