- Have you tried totally withholding all praise and attention until after she
- is calm? Let her make the association for herself that praise and
- attention come only from being a sweet calm girl. A lot of times after a
- dog has been alone all day they are so wound up to see you that any
- attention is too much for them at that moment and everyone needs the time
- to decompress after the homecoming.
