The Real Danger of an Overexcited Dog (And What to Do) | Better Human Better Dog
Video Overview & Insights
Pastors Richard and Vanessa adore their pit mix, Coco — but her uncontrollable excitement has turned dangerous, especially around their 7-year-old daughter, Serena. What started as playful jumping escalated into nipping, choking on walks, and poolside chaos that left the family afraid someone could get seriously hurt.
Great idea getting your child a pit bull. I love dogs and know they can be trained, but that is a wreckless decision unless you know what you’re doing.
When I arrive, I see the real issue: the humans are not united as a pack.
Vanessa, overwhelmed and uncertain, has stepped back, while Richard’s frustration grows stronger each day. That emotional imbalance feeds Coco’s anxious, excited energy — and every affectionate “good girl” in the wrong moment only reinforces her chaos.
Cesar, I was just wondering if you could give any advice on the best kind of collar to use for a giraffe necked Dutch Shepherd😊 l know they make double wide with the double collar
I teach them how to address excitement before it explodes. Through calm, consistent energy and teamwork, Richard learns to replace frustration with focus, and Vanessa steps back into leadership with confidence. Together, they transform dangerous situations — like pool parties and walks — into calm, structured moments of peace.
Meanwhile in San Pedro, Marla, a longshoreman, is being worn down by Panini, her miniature dachshund whose nonstop barking has literally made her sick. But Panini isn’t being “bad” — she’s guarding. Marla’s stress at home created a leadership void, and Panini filled it.
That boy will never ever leave the house 🤦🏿♂️
With structure and calm presence, Marla learns to claim her space, project confidence, and stop rewarding anxious behavior. As she changes, Panini releases her tension and finally rests — no longer burdened by the need to protect.
By the end, both families discover the same truth:
“See the silence” Cesar 👍🏿
When humans change their energy and lead with calm, dogs stop acting out.
Calm leadership doesn’t just balance the dog — it brings peace to the entire family. 🧘♂️🐾
Huge for pony. The epitome that woman can’t see the pathology is in her.
🐶 In this episode of Better Human Better Dog, you’ll learn:
💙 How overexcitement becomes dangerous energy
Caesar is really a people psychologist saving dogs from our own pathology.
🐕 Why affection at the wrong moment reinforces chaos
🧘 How teamwork and calm confidence bring safety back home
Mr calm the pasture is living in self denial. The claim that his relationship with his wife is all kumbaja is misleading. The level of stress frustration that he developss in seconds when things don’t happen the way he wants is telling.
❤️ How to stop barking, anxiety, and overexcitement through leadership
Los pastores Richard y Vanessa adoran a su Pit mix, Coco, pero su excitación incontrolable se ha vuelto peligrosa, especialmente alrededor de su hija Serena, de 7 años. Lo que comenzó como saltos "juguetones" escaló a mordisqueos, a ahorcarse con la correa durante las caminatas y a caos junto a la alberca, dejando a la familia con miedo de que alguien pudiera salir gravemente herido.
Koko loves your daughter...include her in training to respect her space while taking dog for walks and play...reading stories feeding etc...and you are not single parents, you are inspiring US mom you can adopt a dog and take care of yor children...Paini, loves you are protect you so include your son for walks his health needs what you already bought !!! Ask him to open door , feed her and stay blessed !!! House, car and dog...as big and old US dream !!! For your to grow ...live it !!!
Cuando llego, veo el verdadero problema: Los humanos no están unidos como manada.
Vanessa, abrumada e insegura, ha dado un paso atrás, mientras que la frustración de Richard crece cada día. Ese desequilibrio emocional alimenta la energía ansiosa y excitada de Coco, y cada “buena niña” afectuosa en el momento equivocado solo refuerza el caos.
there are some people'nature that really is unchangeable.. Richard is so low energy, every time he had to put coco to sit he just touches her like it is by chance, no energy, no pushing, he's no leader.. coco feels that..
Les enseño cómo abordar la excitación antes de que explote. A través de energía en calma, consistencia y trabajo en equipo, Richard aprende a reemplazar la frustración por enfoque, y Vanessa retoma el liderazgo con confianza. Juntos transforman situaciones peligrosas, como las reuniones en la alberca y caminatas, en momentos estructurados de calma y paz.
Mientras tanto, en San Pedro, Marla, una estibadora, está agotada por Panini, su dachshund miniatura, cuyo ladrido constante literalmente la ha enfermado. Pero Panini no se está portando mal, está protegiendo. El estrés de Marla en casa creó un vacío de liderazgo, y Panini lo ocupó.
Do people never look into the types of dog breeds before they get one. People seem to do more research on buying a car than getting a family dog. I don’t understand this.
Con estructura y presencia en calma, Marla aprende a reclamar su espacio, proyectar confianza y dejar de reforzar comportamientos ansiosos. A medida que ella cambia, Panini libera su tensión y por fin descansa, sin la carga de tener que proteger.
Al final, ambas familias descubren la misma verdad: Cuando los humanos cambian su energía y lideran con calma, los perros dejan de reaccionar. El liderazgo en calma no solo equilibra al perro, también trae paz a toda la familia. 🧘♂️🐾

People should have to do a course on dog behaviour and training, BEFORE they are allowed to own a dog. Problems solved. I feel sorry for dogs with untrained owners.... you wouldn't go swimming when you didnt know how, nor would you drive a car without learning.

16:19 that's hotdog
@sanzhang8527By the end at the pool party Coco's still tied to a weight. So she really didn't learn to stay away from the kids in the pool because she's physically being held there. She couldn't get in the pool if she tried. I understand it's only the 1st step but they should've made that clear. Instead, they tried to make it seem like the problem was fixed when it so obviously wasn't. She was a bit calmer, but that's about it.
@aimslygirlLady.... the dog jumps because you have 0 dominance and lack and control over your dog. Its not the dogs job to instinctively know not to jump, nip and play. That's YOUR JOB..... god i cant stand bad dog owners
@benvarley2927Funny how people who are used to getting their way so easily blames the dog for "not getting it". Nature ignores privilege.
@P2Z_ColdBeansThat is a German Viszla and Pitbull mix! I grew up with a Viszla, they're absolutely amazing dogs! You can always tell because they've got almost a dusty rose pink undertone to their nose and their eyes almost natch their coat or they'll have sometimes havd greenish hazel eyes. That's the most distinctive ways they look. BOTH these dogs are in the working breeds class. So IDK where these people among so many others don't get it that they need botn a job and a lot of exercise AND mental stimulation. BOTH of these dogs are hunting dogs. So IDK where these people got the impression that that weren't going to be stubborn in some ways and that they wouldn't go after something smallef if they have no other outlets? That is the same as asking an Australian sherpher to NOT try and HERD its people, ESPECIALLLY the kids! Bwaaah Haaaa! Do your research people anc understand whay you have as a pet AND what your dog needs as part of who it truly IS at its core. You don't ask a fish to fly do ya? Okay then, understand the breeds that collectively make up your dog and youll understand the expectations it has of its own life. You can't expect a leopard to change its spots. UGH!
@ChristineG-f3dIt’s disappointing to see such judgmental comments. These families are actually asking for help and trying to do right by their dogs. Other owners give up their pets for much less than what’s shown here.
@andreeaplugPanini in the first scene was like "wtf, why am I so calm?" 😂
@andreeaplugIt's same with humans over excitement
@dhivya_animal_loverOne thing is if you don’t have patience don’t get any animal especially energetic breeds I have a very energetic dog but it works perfectly because I match his energy, and also I have a lot of patience to train him and correct him and that matters.
@Aft.ereclipseThe impact a woman can have on a man when she lifts him up and not tear him down in his struggles. Halleluyah!
@AviyahRSThese people are ridiculous. They should not be dog owners.
@jan_jan8690'My biggest fear is that she will jump on a child and they will drown!' What is up with these people? Put the dog away so the children can play in safety.
@pumpkin2001Once again, Cesar rocks!!!
@lynnharr1277Calmness really changes everything for them!
@PawsitiveMinds__officialLove this guy!
@janac407Yes,that's exactly how my 4 month pup behaved. Yes, i feel my pup is possess as well,It's too much,she jumps on me and scratches
Over excited 😢
Leadership makes all the difference!
@PawsitiveMinds__official❤❤❤❤❤
@ZanneMønstedIm 7 minutes in and I heard her say, "I called...", "I didnt touch her..." "I, me, I, me...." wow!!!
@HollyGWרצועה לא נכונה בכלל
@ציפיאונגר-ד6טYIKES!!! Never ever ever tie a weight to a noose around a dog's neck next to a swimming pool!
@Zed-g6v2:18 I’m sorry this is not funny but the other dog looking at Coco like, “ah ah guuurl get outta here with all that” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@TasneemSalie_Wonderful!
@job206I wish there was a class dog owners were required to take before dog ownership. The amount of times I CRINGED at this video...
I love dogs, but these are not a "oh it's so cute I wanna keep it" kind of pet. They deserve work, discipline, and care. Love is not enough.
5 other dogs... 13. I counted them 😅 marriage in a nutshell
@mariana780222:50 😢😢 Roxy seemed sad her family was leaving. My heart hurts. I will squeeze my dogs tonight a little harder
@momentous7417There is a reason why dogs do anything. 99% of humans should not own dogs.
@GrafhReportIt’s always the Humans. Dogs are the closest thing to God I have ever Felt. Since my little Sister Stephanie was Murdered last May, I have spent 99% of my time with the dog she gave me at my lowest Stella and her Dog Fae who I care for now. I’m currently working on getting a plot of land in SC I’m currently in NYC and just live with me and my Dogs.
