My Puppy Is Too Easy To Get Over Excited

[kylenix]

I have a golden retriever 15 weeks old. She is alright with the family. However, when she meets strangers/ other dogs, she will get over excited and out of my control. An example is when we went to the preschool, she just never stopped pulling the lead and rushed to other dogs and people. Never gave up, ever. This made the class futile and awkward for me. Actually, she learned sit, down, come, up well. However, just without distraction. However can I do with this problem?

Keeping training, many owners like this type of dog. Better than the being timid.

She is young too.

Keep up the obedience though and try and work on getting her focus on you.

My dog is very exciteable too. I try to practice lots of exposure, on leash, to stimulating environments where we will about turn if she acts out. The idea is that eventually she will be less reactive as she realises that it means she is taken away from the fun. It has been a long road but I am finding that my hard work doing this is beginning to pay off.

Your instructor should be able to assist with this during the puppy school. While training and socialisation is great- it is no good if the puppy is practicing the unwanted behaviour the whole time! Did you have high value treats with you at puppy school?

1) shes only a baby

2) Shes a goldie, thats pretty much just how they are.

When shes a little older and had more training it will settle down, but the breed just love people and other dogs.
