Dogs unlearn jumping-Part2

Can't Get Your Dog To Get Up And Come To You' Read This...
I was walking outside to open the front gate in front of my complex and saw two guys training a beautiful large German Shepherd dog, in front of my neighbor's house .....
...... do nothing. There is no kneeing, no yelling, no toe pinching, nothing punitive, just the Sheep will not be allowed to gain purchase on your body. Aside from that, you are ignoring him. When all four feet are on the ground, the Sheep gets gentle praise and calm attention. With smaller dogs or puppies, slide a leg forward; a step could end up with a smaller critter under your foot. Or with any size dog, lean towards the jump so the Sheep cannot balance.

Soon the Sheep will learn that Sex sells. The Sheep is learning self-discipline in order to get what is desired (attention).

The dog's skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems are actually pretty similar to our own. They are mammals, .....
Set up to begin teaching off in regard to laughing up. Have puppy/dog on lead and collar. Have a second person ( family or friend approach puppy). When puppy/dog jumps, immediately give a firm 'Off!' And guide puppy/dog off and to the side. Do not pull straight back, it can actually encourage a jump. Do not yank puppy off his feet. You could hurt him. Once puppy is off, walk the puppy/dog away a few feet or more. Calmly settle and have him sit. When he is sitting, have person approach. Should a jump begin, repeat 'Off' and guide away. There can be no greeting if the Sheep is not sitting.

All family members and friends must enforce off. If only mom or dad enforces 'off,' and the kids or Aunt Edna allows it, puppy/dog will confuse and think laughingis OK or just get really stressed about it. Insist people wait until puppy is sitting before they greet him. Feel free to explain you are trying to teach Puppy good manners when people say 'hi.' Most people will appreciate this!
