My dog is too boisterous - what can I do?

Evening, Try teaching him the 'steady' command. For instance, when he's going through a doorway, use a lead to manage his movement and slow him down if he starts to rush. Do the same when he's getting out of the car—keep him controlled on the lead while giving the 'steady' command. If he’s already moving quite calmly, try to get him to go even slower; the goal is simply for him to understand what the word means and what you expect of him. Once he’s got the hang of it, see if it also works when he's meeting other dogs.

You’ll need to set up plenty of meet-ups with other dogs that are sturdy enough to handle him and confident enough to correct him when needed. Does your dog often get the chance to socialise off-lead with others? There’s really nothing worse than an overexcited dog being kept on a lead.
