Don't jump

Hi, just a quick post about a common problem that many owners don't see as an issue but can be quite serious, jumping up! Its great fun to have your dog leaping up to get affection and i'm sure it makes us feel loved and wanted, but the problem is when you are 8 years old and 3 feet tall its not such fun!

Bosco gave his usual whole-hearted greeting the other day to the little girl and when a slab of beef with a head the size of a cow stands taller than you and scratches you with his claws, then naturally you may scream out and cry! So its not such a good idea after all as the adults may be OK, but what about the kids, disabled people or the elderly!

My advice, stop it at every opportunity, tell the dog no! Fuss it only with all four legs on the floor and if its excited walk away until it isn't! Just a thought!

Happy training

Steve
