My trainer recommended teaching an "off switch" early. Was that helpful for you?

Yes, that was a great tip for my Sheltie too! It helped with his energy levels.

Teaching my Shetland Sheepdog, Bella, an 'off switch' was incredibly useful. She’s full of energy and would zoom around if left unchecked. Learning when to settle down has been a game changer for both of us. We started with short training sessions and rewarded her with treats and praise, which really helped. Now, she knows when it’s time to relax, and it makes our time together much more enjoyable. Also, having this 'off switch' is key for a breed that can get overstimulated easily.
