Yes, focusing on calmness first made a big difference for my Pyrenean Shepherd. Once he learned to settle down, we could smoothly introduce new tricks without him getting overly excited or distracted. This approach really helped him stay focused and eager to learn.

Definitely helped my dog too! Teaching him calmness set a solid foundation before adding in more complex tricks. It keeps him more engaged and prevents him from getting too hyper. Plus, I've found that it really improves our training sessions overall.
