To teach a dog frustration tolerance, you need to build the behavior and give the dog the tools needed to remain calm. This is done by making the dog wait for its food, treats, and toys. You can also play with the dog and stop playing and wait quietly for 1 minute, then resume playing. Any exercise where your dog wants something, but doesn’t get it, can help build frustration tolerance. Tie your dog to a short chain in the yard and work with it for 10 minutes to start, do not ignore your dog, but do not let it act out. If your dog is calm then talk to it and give a treat, but keep moving away so that your dog must deal with its stress issues. When a dog acts out then stop, make it lay down, wait, keep waiting when the dog is quiet, then when you chose to move on give a command. If the dog acts out, or ignores your command then stop again, repeat this.
