I have one and any advice is appreciated. I cannot keep Maximus from jumping on people when they come over. He just wants them to pet him, and then he's on his way. However, not everyone loves him as much as I do, and they prefer (not dog lovers at all) for Max not to be on their lap. I tell him down, and he gets down only to jump on the next person who usually is the same (not a dog lover). These are family members, so they are over quite a bit. They tell everyone Max is a bad dog, and it hurts my feelings, because he just wants them to pet him. He's a really good dog. Any help is appreciated.
