How to calm down when you are really really mad?
If you find that your angry outbursts are negatively affecting your relationships with family, friends, co-workers and even complete strangers, it's probably time to change the way you express your anger. Here are some tips to get your anger under control: * Take a "time out." Count to 10 before reacting or leave the situation altogether. * Do something physically exerting. Physical activity can provide an outlet for your emotions, especially if you're about to erupt. Go for a walk or a run, swim, lift weights or shoot baskets, for example. * Find ways to calm and soothe yourself. Practice deep-breathing exercises, visualize a relaxing scene, or repeat a calming word or phrase to yourself, such as "take it easy." You can also listen to music, paint, journal or do yoga. * Express your anger as soon as possible so that you aren't left stewing. If you can't express your anger in a controlled manner to the person who angered you, try talking to a family member, friend, counselor or another trusted person. * Think carefully before you say anything so that you don't end up saying something you'll regret. * Work with the person who angered you to identify solutions to the situation. * Use "I" statements when describing the problem to avoid criticizing or placing blame. For instance, say "I'm upset you didn't help with the housework this evening," instead of, "You should have helped with the housework." To do otherwise will likely upset the other person and escalate tensions. * Don't hold a grudge. Forgive the other person. It's unrealistic to expect everyone to behave exactly as you want. * Use humor to defuse your anger, such as imagining yourself or the other person in silly situations. Don't use sarcasm, though — it's just another form of unhealthy expression. * Keep an anger log to identify the kinds of situations that set you off and to monitor your reactions. You can practice many of these strategies on your own. But if your anger seems out of control, is hurting your relationships or has escalated into violence, you may benefit from seeing a psychotherapist or an anger management professional. Role playing in controlled situations, such as anger management classes, can help you practice your techniques.
When do bloodhounds calm down?
Ours started calming down when he was about 2.5 years. He's 5 now. He went through a phase when he was about 1 where he tried to "throw his weight around" and we put an immediate halt to that. I've read that they go through a phase where they try to "show you who's boss" and if you don't put an end to it immediately the consequences can be horrible. Ours actually started growling at us, so we would grab him by the collar, yell "NO" and put him in his crate (his HUGE crate). I guess they try and see how much they can get away with. It worked because he's really a lovable fellow and doesn't try to "bully" us anymore. His nose continues to get him into trouble though--if he smells something interesting and it's within reach, he's got it in his mouth. We've learned to put things out of reach, but occassionally forget. I just lost a slipper to him because I left them on the floor. He's lucky he's lovable.... Other than that, he's fine--like any of our other dogs. Mainly eats, lays around, plays when he wants to, etc. I wouldn't recommend a shock collar only because they are a drooly breed. I once saw a (drooly) mastiff that had one explode on him while wearing it. I've never seen that happen before or since, so either the collar was defective or maybe his drool caused something to short out in it. (He healed up fine, by the way.) If it proves too much and your parents feel they have to get rid of him, please contact your local bloodhound rescue.
Why can't I calm down when I am angry?
When you are angry you might be keep on thinking what happened , how it can hurt my feelings , or whatever that hurts you.. we just think, rethink , re-rethink. We see only in our point of view. We don't even care our opponent views . Sometimes they may be correct.So next time when you get angry count from 1–30 while counting try to put urself in the opponent place. If they are wrong justify your points. If they are right then tell the reason why you have misunderstood so next time the other person won't commit the same thing..Small note: you get angry you shout you leave.. but the the words uttered by you may hurt others.. just learn to forgive all .. because they are also human.. Human tends to commit mistakes…Forget and forgive_/\_ peace
How can I make my little brother calm down?
My five year old brother is very bad. He is very wild, rude, and mean. I am a 15 year old boy and I have suicidal thoughts because I can't stand dealing with him. Sometimes I think of running away from home, moving to my dad's house, or killing him. He has made me a very quiet person. My mom always sees him doing bad things, but she says if you ignore it, he will stop. I don't not think that works because he still acts bad. He spits, throws stuff, yells, and fights with me. He also uses foul language a lot. When my family and I are in the car, he never puts on his seat belt. Mom tries to tell him once, but he never does. I tell him, and he doesn't. So I hit him, and he still doesn't. I feel like I am more of a parent than my mom. One time I tried approaching my mom and talking to her about my feelings, but she says I need to stop acting like a little girl because she thinks a 5 year old boy can't hurt a 15 year old boy's feelings. He hurts my feelings so much, he makes me cry at night, or privately in the day. Today, I went to the bathroom to cry because he yelled at me and said, "This isn't your house! You're not part of this family!" When I do something to my brother, my mom acts as if it's the end of the world and she gets mad at me. When he hits me or hurts my feelings, she just tells me to stop stooping to his level because he's five years old. It doesn't make a difference. So please help so I can stop thinking of killing myself or killing him! I used to love him when he was 3, but now I hate him and I never want to be around him. Thank you for your time and help.

How do I calm down my Weimaraner?
Start positive reinforcement obedience classes. It is hard work and takes a lot of patience on your part and your dog's part. After all, YOU have to be trained how to train your dog before you can effectively teach the commands. It's fun, too and the best way to get the bond you want between you and your dog. Follow through with each higher level of training. That said, Your dog is very young and full of energy. She needs regular exercise; enough to tire her out. It will help you, too, physically and mentally. Please don't go straight to the shock treatment, drugs, etc. When you adopted this beautiful girl you made a commitment to protect her and give her every opportunity to be all that she can be. Find a trainer who will work with you (don't hand her over to someone else to do your job) calmly, without pain or yelling. Think about how a feisty pup becomes a seeing-eye or assistance dog. They learn many more commands than you and your dog will ever need and all without force. Training and patience (yelling doesn't help). You have a wonderful challenge ahead of you. I'd love to experience it again.
How can i make my weimaraner calm down?
Weimaraners are extremely high energy dogs, and it will take a long time to get him tired out. First off, if he is not neutared (or she spayed), i suggest doing that. All animals will calm down at least a little bit after they are fixed. Secondly, make sure that you take him for a walk several times a day, or, better yet, jog with him. Also make sure that he has toys that he can play with and keep him entertained. Also, you could take him to a local dog park, where you could let him run with other dogs, this way he gets to socialize as well as gets a work out. Good luck!
