When Excitement Isn’t Always Happiness 🐾

Does your dog greet you by jumping up, pacing, whining, or darting from room to room? It looks like love, but often it’s not happiness — it’s emotional overwhelm.

When dogs get overexcited, their bodies release stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. These limit self-control and clear thinking, so your dog isn’t choosing to behave that way; they’re simply flooded with emotion. As this continues, more stress chemicals such as norepinephrine are released, making it even harder for them to settle.

This same pattern can appear before walks, at mealtimes, when expecting a treat, or when spotting another dog. Any exciting moment can become too much if they haven’t learned how to stay calm.

Unfortunately, poor impulse control in domesticated dogs is often reinforced by humans through excitement, attention, or affection during high-energy moments. We accidentally feed the chaos.

Have you ever noticed how dogs belonging to elderly or homeless people are almost always calm and collected outside? That’s because they’re guided by steady, grounded energy rather than overstimulation. Dogs thrive in that kind of emotional stability.

Teaching calm greetings and steady anticipation builds confidence and balance. It helps dogs enjoy life without feeling out of control.

If you’re in South Yorkshire, get in touch to learn how I can help your dog feel calmer and more secure. I’ve coached many owners to become confident, fearless handlers who understand and guide their dogs with clarity and calm. If you’re elsewhere, look for a trainer who uses a balanced, compassionate approach to behaviour.

💛 Understanding your dog’s emotions is the first step to helping them live with calm, confidence, and peace.

Today I’ve made my first example — and from this point forward, I won’t be recommending any other dog trainers or their services (such as classes I can’t currently offer due to lack of facility or time) to people who undermine or disregard my work/advice.

I’ve spent years building trust and guiding owners with honesty and their dogs’ welfare at the heart of every recommendation. I won’t be undermined anymore by other trainers exploiting clients after I’ve already offered my time, advice, and support.

When I make a recommendation, it’s not about profit — it’s about what’s genuinely best for the dog and owner.

From now on, my price is my price, and that includes the value of my advice and professional guidance.

The very fact I've got a 3 month waiting list and I never advertise my work - speaks volumes!

Quality work deserves respect.
