After I had trained Amy to be an overly motivated, hyperactive dog, I was basically forced to spend more time thinking about how to bring calm into training and how to calm the dog down and reassure him when he is already hyper and fidgety. Everyone makes mistakes and everyone starts small. So I tried a lot, got informed and learned and found a really good way for us. What I also pay attention to: if possible, not super-duper treats, but rather something boring, perhaps treats that she has to chew a few times, in a calm mood when she goes into training and when she comes out again.
