I can here with a purpose and then found out I was missing out

But anyways… any ideas for quieting excited/involuntary barking during training without loosing drive? As I have said before I have struggled SO much with Chase enjoying training because I pushed him too hard when he was a puppy. He has finally come to enjoy training and it makes me so happy. But it has gotten to the point where that he gets so overly excited during training won’t shut up for a long time. I know I could get him to stop but I’m afraid I’ll damage that happy feeling I’ve worked so hard to get.

I never posted these
I finally got his food switched over and he's booked into the vet for his needles in a few weeks so I'm trying to see how much weight he can put on from now to then. I even think I've noticed gain since I took these pics. I fully intend to be SUPER prepared for this appointment. Going to get a bunch of info the vet wanted me to (vital signs when he's "calm" at home) and we'll redo his bloodwork if the vet thinks we should.
The Kong Wobbler had been the answer to his dry food over-eagerness at least. He figured it out faster than I expected honestly.

This is an example. It is usually a lot worse (I didn’t start filming until much later in the session) but it kinda shows
