Loads of exercise to tire him out..Basic obedience training, so you can re-direct his energies..
The rowdiest dogs are usually the super smart dogs, so get involved with agility training classes, of Frisbee clubs, etc..
Eddie, on frasier, was rejected by 3 diferent families, and kept ending up back at the shelter, until the trainer found him, and made him star!
Persistant training and quality time with your dog will get his energies under control..

get a doggy saddle and put something in it. This will calm him down. My parents have a dog that would never calm down, then the vet told them to do the saddle thing and now its calm like it should be. According to the vet the dog was getting bored so when it came into contact with my parents it wanted to do something. For some reason the saddle with the objects in it made the dog think he was doing something and not be bored.

Sounds simplistic, but the answer is to quit spoiling your dog. There's a show called "Dog Whisperer" where the guy helps dog owners calm their dogs down by literally dominating them. Apparently, as pack animals, dogs get very anxious when their owners act like they (the dog) are the one in charge. The biggest example is when the owner gives affection to the dog when it's acting out, expecting that to work, but really it's sending the opposite message, "Yes, it's good that you're so anxious." So, bottom line is that when your dog is anxious, scold it. Communicate that it is not ok to act that way. Then, when the dog does calm down you can give it affection as the reward. Hope that helps.

Lots of exercise!! Not a walk around the block - full out running. The best situation would be if you can find a friend with a dog of similar energy levels - they can play together and wear each other out.

Try to calm your dog (indeed, any sentient creature) by speaking calmly to him/her. Making soothing sounds might help diminish the agitation. Even singing something and inserting your dog's name in the lyrics might help. (I do this with good results with my wee beasties.)
If this is a persistent feature of your pet's behavior, perhaps you might consider having him/her checked for any health issues. Something as simple (and treatable) as fleas can make an otherwise calm creature anxious and unpredictable. Also, a creature in pain will attempt to escape the pain by running from it -- even though the source of the discomfort in within him/her.
Luck to puppy and to you, too.

calm down - no, yet having yet another canines to play with might take the strain off of you honestly. Moot factor if mom and pa say no. Why no longer placed a while into the canines you have now? Take her for extra, or longer walks/runs and a few based play time might burn off a lot of that power

If you need them calmed down for a little bit then give them a children's dose of Benadryl
My dog would go crazy when we took him to get his nails clipped and the vet said to give him a childrens dose of benadryl and it worked great

Get down on the floor with him/her and speak in soft gentle tones while petting him/her. The reason I say get on the floor is so that he/she feels comfortable because you are not towering over him/her which is a psychological thing. By getting on the same level with your dog can help them to relax. I do this with my cats all the time and it works great because they don't feel intimidated.
Good luck and say "meow" to your doggy from my cats Figaro and Rosina.

it depends on why you want to calm your dog down. With my dog, i take him into a calm, quite, and dark room and sit with him on his leash until he quiets down. Inhope that this info works out for you!

Sounds like the dogs needs to be trained properly.
