Hello! Its been a while since I have posted mainly because I have an almost 5 month puppy that is keeping me busy!! Palmer will be 5 months next week and we have encountered a few issues I was hoping to get some advice on. We just finished Puppy training at Petsmart, which by the way was very helpful. I am considering signing up for intermediate training next month. Anyway, Palmer is hyper when excited he jumps on people constantly especially when someone new comes into house. I know its probably normal until I learn how to train him to stop jumping. So, What is the best way to stop the jumping? (I hate to think of a 50lb dog jumping on people!)
Another thing is that he is afraid to walk in the neighborhood on his leash. He bascially stops and sits down and will not move when we leave our driveway- I have tried treats to get him to the end of our cul de sac then he will walk some but only for a while. Is this something he will grow out of? Barking dogs really scare him - only ones in the neighborhood - not a Petsmart.
Any advice would be helpful! Thank you>
