Melis posed this question:
“How can you fix a dog that is very excited with other dogs.He barks constantly because he wants to play . how would you fix him”
This problem most likely stems froma lack of socialization from an early age.
If you are wanting to try and sort this without too much external assistance, you will need to be patient. In the home environment, without any distractions, teach your dog to focus on you (use the “Watch Me”) command. Once you are confident that he can give you his undivided attention, you can take it up a notch.
Arrange to meet a friend who owns a dog at a neutral venue. Make sure he has gad a good run first to burn off any excess energy, then ask your dog to focus on you while the other dog and handler stand at a distance. Occasionally treat your dog with a slice of chicken while ever he is not giddy. Gradually have the other dog come within 50 feet of you, so you are behind them, then take your dog on the leash and approach them from the rear. As soon as your dog starts to get tetsy, do an about turn and walk away from them. Keep doing this until he is calm on the approach, then allow the dogs to greet each other and have a few minutes play. You will need to follow the “approach from the rear & about turn” procedure for the first few new dogs you encounter after this, but it should calm him down.
If you want to speed things up, then a little professional help will be required. If he is still young, you may be able to enrol him in a puppy socialization class. Otherwise, try and find a local obedience training club and book a few group sessions
