Dogs : How Do You Get Your Dog To Calm Down When They See Other Dogs
My dog will be 1 in a few weeks and he gets really worked up when he sees other dogs. I'd like to break the habit while he's young but I'm not sure how. My dog was and is socialized very well. We started him off at a puppy daycare a long time ago and he does fine. I don't believe it is out of aggression at all, I think it's out of curiosity and wanting to play..but he's a big dog and can be a bit overpowering for smaller dogs. ~~~ AdvicenEthics ~~~
Best Answer To Dogs Question
Try a squirt bottle. When he starts freaking out, spray him on the back. When he breaks out of it for a second, redirect him to a sit or down. When he's calm, praise him for it. Don't say "It's okay" and pet him because he'll think you mean it's okay to act up. Also, it's important that you keep your calm energy, they feed off of your energy.

Answer 3Your dog probably did not receive enough socialization as a younger puppy, and that is coming out now in how he reacts to dogs he meets along the way. When you say he gets "really worked up," do you mean his fur raises, he growls, barks and or lunges? Or do you mean he starts bouncing around, making yappy barks, and play bowing? (chest to ground, butt in the air?) The first scenario is a display of aggression, while the second is an invitation for play. It is important to know which one he is doing before planning a course of action. If it is aggression, using negative reinforcement (hitting, yelling, squirting) will make him associate every dog he meets with the correction, not making it pleasant. With aggression, you want to redirect. If you are passing a fenced in animal, pick up your pace and jog by the property while on the opposite side of the street. If you are passing or approaching another owner/dog combination, cross the street and quickly walk/jog passed. You can carry a squeaky toy and treats with you to keep your dog's attention on you. Could you please elaborate on his behavior to help us help you?

Answer 5I make mine sit and try to divert their attention elsewhere by talking to usually have a ball or a treat in my pocket for them to focus on until it passes.
