| Anything can be done with consistent training. |
| Winston was a jumper, we tried all kinds of things and nothing worked. We got a Pet Convincer and one or 2 blasts from it and he no longer jumps. He knows what it looks like and if we get it out he changes whatever he's doing. One or 2 blasts means when we first got it. We haven't used it in weeks. |
| they are just puppies at the mo' it's early days, do ensure you get on top of it now rather than have to deal with it later, they will just have to realise that everything stops until they stop bouncing, a calm upright is the key to calm sheepies a strong firm "NO!" is a wonderful tool that and control on the collar is probably all that is needed, they will get it, they can be very intelligent oafs! |
| Yes,a firm command is the best training with an action-we said "no" and put Sprocket's front feet back on the floor-it worked in the end. We have found he does need something in his mouth to "show" us. Once he has a toy,shoe,stick or anything he can grab quickest he will sit with it for a huggy stroke. It does anoy me when folk encourage him to jump,saying "it's fine ,we like it". I tell them we don't and it's bad for his back legs. Some folk you just can't "train". Keep up with the constant "NO!" and he will get it soon.xx |
| Dex knows to get something in his mouth; he is a mouther but has never been a jumper. He will make sure the visitor is acceptable, run to get a chew then come back to greet with the trademark whole body wag. Winston never got any of the corrections; firm "No", us being calm to the point of ignoring him, walking into him, pushing him down, nothing worked. we hired a "Dog Whisperer" who started right out with Pet Convincer; Winston responded immediately. Now he joins Dex to make sure the visitor means no harm then backs to the dining room, sits and waits to be told to come say "Hi". I agree with Alyson, some people just don't get it when they encourage them to jump up on their chest for a hello hug. They don't mind but we do, it doesn't take much to undo a lot of training. |
| Bailee is almost 5 and the "jumping up" thing is still somehwat of a work in progress. He is much-much better but he still has the occasional urge to look you right in the eye. Our biggest problem is with the people we meet who ENCOURAGE this bad behavior! Our trainer told us to pull him away from anyone he jumps up on. Make him sit in order to be petted. It does work, most of the time. Unless someone "urges" him to "come on fella" he now sits and knows he will get his supply of petting. The funny thing is we now need a NEW method to try to convince him to SIT STILL! Once he sits, he wiggles backwards right into you as far as he can and lifts his head for you to pet. At 80 pounds and VERY strong he can almost knock people off their feet just by lying back into them. If that is the only issue I have with him I guess all in all it isn't too bad. He has got to be the absolute most friendly dog we have ever had. |
| Kensie is a jumper........at 7. We are working on it. |
