@maxboerboeldog: What you’re seeing here is called food excitement or over arousal around food. In dog training, it’s often described as a lack of impulse control around a high value reward. The shaking, whining, intense focus on the food, and rapid tail wagging are all signs of emotional overstimulation. This is very common in puppies, especially highly food-motivated dogs with strong food drive. Now, this behavior isn’t “bad” it simply means the puppy hasn’t yet learned emotional regulation around rewards. And this is where proper guidance and structure comes in. Instead of rewarding the excitement immediately, I taught her that calm behavior is what earns access to the food. Through consistency, patience, and clear communication, she’ll began to understand that excitement doesn’t control the situation calmness does. A lot of owners unknowingly reinforce over arousal by feeding the dog at the peak of excitement. But in reality, the goal is to teach the dog self . control, patience, and the ability to think even in a highly stimulating moment. Leadership in dog training isn’t about fear or force, it’s about clarity, structure, and showing the dog the right state of mind to be in before receiving a reward.
