Is there anything I can give my dog to calm him down?

To help you and your dog learn basic training techniques, it might be worth enrolling in some dog training lessons. Reward relaxed behaviours, to begin with you may just need to reward your dog for any behaviour that doesn’t involve staring at you, pulling on the lead, or barking. Sit quietly on a chair with your dog on the lead and a blanket on the floor. Drop tiny bite-size treats to your dog as a reward for settling down on the blanket. Always make sure your dog is having a good time when settling, whether enjoying their toys, chews, or simply dozing and snoozing. Try to resist telling your dog what to do during training, the aim is for them to learn for themselves to be calm and to relax. Contact our free Behaviour Support Line for tailored advice.
