When i let my dog inside the house she runs wild, how can i make it stop?

Question

Shes obedience trained and everything. I've tried guiding her into the house with a leash but that doesn't work she just runs around in circles, what can i do?

Answer 1

Please stop letting your dog in the house. No one likes to come to a house that has a dog running around. I bet I can't sit on your couch without getting dog hair all over me. I bet your house smells bad. You probably don't notice cuzz your used to it but, your company does.

Answer 2

Your dog may be reacting in excitement. Perhaps you could try working with her on leash for a few moments outdoors before letting the dog indoors. While outside, walk the dog on leash for a little bit, praising her as you do so. It's really important to teach your dog the behaviors you do want her to exhibit, such as what manners you want her to show when in the house. You could have her "Go to your mat," to lie down for a while, to settle when she first comes inside. Reward her there when she's actually lying down on her mat. Give her a tidbit treat or a chew toy then.

Best wishes to you.

Answer 3

You had one person that has the right idea. Istead of just lettiing the dog out for duties, or a 5-10 minute walk around the block you must exercise the dog till she becomes tired, and manageable. Upon returning home (this is a learned behavior) make sure you address the problem. Have her sit and stay till she is good and calm; open the door (YOU first in or out) "learned behavior" once inside have her sit and stay; CALM DOG, unleash her and YOU walk away. This exercise will right away change your order of rank in the household. If you really want her to change it will be upto your persistence. Once she gets use to the order of rank, she will be settled. Good luck

Answer 4

Obviously she is not obedience trained! Obedience trained means just that. You control your dog. You can't put the dog in a sit/stay? What can you do? More work on obedience training.

Answer 5

Take the dog for a good long walk first. Tire it out and then try bringing it in. Put her in one room until she gets used to it. But don't pet her inside the house. Make sure she knows that you are the boss. Be firm and consistent. Don't feed her or give her treats pets until she calms down.

Answer 6

Are you keeping her outside for the majority of the day? If so, that is the reason right there. She's excited to be inside and not stuck outside without any attention. Dogs are pack animals that need to be with their family. If they aren't, you get a dog like yours. If you make her an inside dog, she will calm down. Currently, she's just excited to be inside and doesn't want to go back out.

Answer 7

Maybe your dog has it backwards....outside is relax time, inside is play time. Maybe you don't excercise her enough. Try giving her a good 20 to 30 minute brisk walk before you let her in!

Answer 8

pick your dog up when you bring her into the house and try sitting down with her ( if shes small enough that is) try to be relaxed around here so maybe shell catch onto the idea just sit her on the couch with you and keep your hand on her and what not ♥

Answer 9

Just do dog obedience in teh house if she's trained then you can do it anywhere.

Answer 10

dont get her riled up.
don say things like "you wanna go inside" in a high pitched voice.
ive learned that because my dogs are inside dogs and when i used to say "wanna go outside?" they freak out.
also stay calm when talking to her.
dont run around chasing her, it just pravokes her to be more hyper.
also if this dosent work, try to tire her out before coming in so she doesnt have too much energy when she does.
