This is going to be lots of long boring videos of Hector working on the place command. He has issues controlling his excitement when he knows we're going out. A lot of it is vocal and general frantic/panic crazy behavior. It doesn't help that he's a nervous/anxious/fearful dog and it also doesn't help that I didn't work harder. I tried some things and it didn't work so I gave up. His main trigger is the opening of the door when he knows we're going out. He doesn't care if I'm going to work or going out alone. He knows the difference. This video you can see how excited he gets and this is not the worst. Up until 2:10 he starts to calm down because I went to sit down. 2:53 you can see his whole body shaking. This is just him trying to control himself. 3:10 - 5:20 I do some collar on/off exercises letting him know collar on does not mean going anywhere. Then 5:20 forward, I switch up the exercise and do on/off place and door threshold to try and get him to relieve some stress. Sorry for the dark video.
