jumping up question
Hi, I'm sort of new at all of this myself, so I don't pretend to be an expert :lol: but I have been reading lots of dog training books, and one tip that seemed helpful was that when your dog jumps up, you should grab his two front legs and hold him up, only releasing when he looks uncomfortable. The book says (wish I could remember which one so that I could properly quote it) that dogs don't like to stand on their back two legs for long, so doing this should, in time, make your dog not want to jump up again! I am trying it on my thirteen week old puppy, and meeting with mixed success (just started it a few days ago). Good Luck! - Annemarie.
