Here are some video's of commonly taught exercises that you might find helpful:

Come-for (a way to teach your dog to move back from something that has caught his attention)

Wait - Method 2 (Luke permanent wait at door)

Wait while moving away (taught using retrieve)

Zen Down (a way to teach your dog to relax quickly, especially after something has excited him or her)

Crate Training (there are lots of ways to do this; this is just one)

Dog Charge/heel (Luke's rude way of greeting dogs, followed by work on heel and ignoring other dogs)





Have you ever tried do do your dog's nails, and failed before you've even begun?  Your dog takes one look at the clippers, and starts to shake, or escape, or even growl.  

A while back, I developed a tool for this, and other times when you want to reduce visual stimulation.   It's a Calming Cap.  It's now sold by Thundershirt, which calls it a Thunder Cap.  You can get it here:  http://www.thundershirt.com/thundercap.html

The cap can be handy for dogs who bark in the car, who don't like to be handled, and who are over-wrought from nasty sounds, like thunder or fireworks.
