always exicted/hyper

hey i am woundering if there is any chance of calming now Taz, He is always exicted/hyper when ever someone walks into the house he jumps on everyone, Also he likes to bites now and again he is 1 year and a couple of months old he likes to play but i want him to know when its play time and when to stop. If u can help me please comment Thanks

When I had my last staff she was e same and she was an older girl.

When visitors came we got them to ignore her so she wasn't getting any attention for her hyper behaviour, then when she calmed the visitors would say hello.

There are a lot more experienced dog owners on her though prob with some better advice but the above is what I did!

thats exactly what i started doing with the added bonus of a piece of chicken when he sat calmly - it was a bit weird alays answering the door with some chicken in my hand but it worked

Can't add to that really. Staffs love attention, so if you ignore them when they do something you don't like (no interractions at all, no eye contact, touching or speaking to them) and give calm praise when they're calm, you should get things to improve.

If he's constantly hyper, you may need to look at his food.

okk guess ill give it an try thanks
