My trainer says that if you pet your dog very calmly and very slowly (from the eyebrows to the withers) and talk in a soothing voice, it's supposed to calm them down. It works well, but sometimes they are just too stimulated and don't notice.

My husband uses this technique when he comes home from work. Wolf is soooooooo excited to see him. He also makes him lay down first.
