Training High-Energy Dogs : How to Calm, Focus, and Train Active Breeds Like Border Collies, Labs, and Shepherds
Training High-Energy Turn Chaos Into Calm – A Practical Guide for Collies, Labs, Shepherds & Other Active Breeds
Your dog isn’t bad. They’re just built differently.
If you’ve ever felt embarrassed on walks, shouted yourself hoarse trying to get their attention, or watched your clever dog turn “training time” into a circus act — you already know that high-energy breeds don’t play by the usual rules.
This book will change that.
Training High-Energy Dogs is the ultimate step-by-step guide to transforming a whirlwind of energy into calm focus and reliable behaviour. Written for owners of working-type, high-drive dogs — like Border Collies, Labradors, Shepherds, and other unstoppable breeds — this isn’t theory. It’s a real-world system that works.
Inside, you’ll ✅ Why “just more exercise” can make behaviour worse — and what to do instead
✅ How to create a calm mindset through structured daily routines
✅ Games that build impulse control and focus in real-life situations
✅ The difference between mental enrichment and overstimulation
✅ Simple strategies for recall, leash manners, jumping, barking, and more
✅ What to do when your dog regresses, zooms, or spirals out of control
✅ A proven long-term plan to sustain calm, confidence, and connection
You’ll learn how focus anywhere — from your living room to the busiest park
Use engagement and scent games to satisfy instinct without chaos
Stop behaviour problems before they start with proactive structure
Reinforce calm naturally — no shouting, punishment, or endless fetch required
Whether you’re starting with an excitable puppy or retraining a strong-willed adult, this book gives you the blueprint to build the relationship you’ve always wanted — one based on trust, understanding, and calm connection.
Because you don’t need to tire your dog out.
You just need to teach them how to switch off.

A Must-Have for High-Energy Dog Owners
As someone who’s had multiple high-energy dogs over the past 30 years. From Labs to Shepherd mixes this book was exactly what I needed. It breaks things down in simple, practical steps that actually work. The focus on mental enrichment and structured routines made a huge difference with my most reactive dog. I finally understand why traditional training wasn’t enough. Now our walks are calmer, and my dogs are more focused and easier to live with. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your dog’s energy, get this guide.
